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.
1991 Premio Hussar, specifically the 3.5 V6 Sport model in wagon bodystyle. Pushes out a solid 263 horsepower, enough to reach a top speed of just over 150 mph.
Note: This is my first post ever on the forums so if it looks shit I do apologize
This was the last independently produced Pippuri model before the Finnish brand merged with Sampo to create SPA-Motor, and as such shares no components with any Sampo models. Sporting the old style Pippuri logo with the P letters forming a key, the car has styling akin to pre-VW Bentley, combined with European sports sedan sensibilities.
The Oinas slots squarely into the compact executive class with the likes of the 3-series, Alfa 156 shown here in four bodystyles/variants:
GL : Grand Liftback (Beige)
SC : Sporting Coupé (Copper)
GW : Grand Wagon (Silver)
GS : Grand Safari (Blue)
All models are equipped with traditional Pippuri big block flat 6 engines, with the GL and GW being available as standard with the 145hp high torque low power engine for better economy, and the SC and GS offering the higher output 195hp with more advanced fuel injection and larger displacement for better performance on the trail or the track.
The 1995 B7 also isn’t quite ready for prime time along with the rest of the late 90s line but it’s getting there, I’m at the point now where I’m happy to show the exterior on a non lore thread.
You still managed to let your car look unique (unlike me), also in the interior that features some detals that let it stand out from the mass, yet it looks alright.
This was a more obscure model developed by Petoskey Motors. Aerodynamics played a huge role in the vehicle design, hence the popular nickname “Aero”. It was also the first Petoskey car to be built using a unibody chassis. MV stood for Modular Vehicle. The intent was to produce a car that could not only be mass produced quickly, but also boast an adaptive configuration allowing for easy updates to the design as technology improves over time.
Unfortunately this forward-thinking automobile did not catch on with buyers as hoped. Many felt the radical design off putting compared to more conventional automobiles of the period. Material complications and a worker shortage due to the Great Depression and later World War II meant a severe delay in production of the car in any significant numbers. The lack of a rear window and the bizarre sideways-opening trunk did little to endear to buyers as well.
The MV was produced in limited quantities from 1935 to 1945. But this would not be the end of the story for this troubled automobile…
