1984 KMA K4 3.0
Derived from an unused idea for a CSR154 entry that I rejected in favor of the SVM Savant due to concerns about drivability and reliability. Now powered by a DOHC 24v I6 and sporting a revised front end with composite headlights, due to the model, trim, family and variant years all being changed to 1984 instead of 1980.
I did not install a detailed interior, since CSR154 didn’t require me to do so, but the next car featured on this post does have a detailed interior: the 1990 KMA K5. I originally built this for QFC8 as a 1988 model (with the name K50), but after several game updates, I have retconned this to make it a 1990 model, powered by an all-alloy 3.2L I6 with the same valvetrain (DOHC with 4v/cylinder) as the K4, developing a solid 225 bhp.
Here is the K5 in its current form - you can find the original K50 here. Visual changes are limited to a pearlescent paint job, color-coded door handles, and wider wheels and tires. The K5 retains the full luxury interior from its previous incarnation, thus setting it apart from its lesser brethren. However, it now has a multi-link rear suspension for improved ride and handling. Overall, I was glad to revisit this old build, and make it better than before after several game updates, thanks to new features such as techpool.
