Which body did you make this on?
I chose one of the '88 Indicator body sets (a remake of the E31-esque coupe body from 4.24 and earlier) - specifically, the largest one, with a 3.0m wheelbase.
Automation reckons this is a two door sedan so…
The Ascot Renegade 450S
Will work on an interior for it… maybe…
In 1994, only a minor early facelift changed the appearance of the Legacy. The front lights were now more transparent due to Xenon bulbs, the bumpers were now in color of the car, the rear got different material for the taillights, the chrome handle of the trunk was widened and the plate moved upwards while the rear bumper became smaller.
The interior featured a nicer steering wheel, but not so much more. Most changes were under the metal, such as new engines and a brand new 5-speed-automatic.
This was surely not enough to beat newer competitors, but on the other hand, the car wasn’t left behind in this tough market.

1933 Authié et Dallier 4/26 Landau Sedan. My first real attempt at a pre-war car, and yes, kind of a new brand for me that I probably will introduce soon.
Engineering is barely done at all since it doesn’t work well for 30s cars in Automation so…mostly done for the aesthetics.

Great refinement and sublety.

Thanks! I see one minor flaw now, forgot to mirror the door hinges, they were rarely hidden in this era. They are there on the other side though…

The Legacy was a conservative premium car that, even in its luxury version, didn’t really deserve the word “fancy”. After new top-end cars like the Ventnor came on the market, it was clear that the successor needed more prestige and modernity.
In 1998, the Cognoscenti replaced the Legacy, and even if the Legacy well deserved the title “comfortable car”, the Cognoscenti set the benchmark in comfort.
Even if it is larger than the predecessor, it looks much smaller, thanks to its sleek and fluent silhouette. The standard equipment is described with two words: fully complete - even a Sat Nav was fitted in EVERY Cognoscenti. The acoustic PDC from Legacy facelift recieved an optical screen as support and the 600 came with a V12 with 490 horsepower - and, as the first Primus ever, an active suspension, tuned for comfort.
Once again the new Primus overtook the competition, however, it’s price accellerated as fast as it’s engines, the Legacy was almost a bargain in comparison. A Diesel version was not offered for '98, but expected to come soon after.

That might be the impetus I need to develop a successor to the Ventnor V12…

An I5 was highly unusual back then, but I guess Italian engineers were always doing Something different, especially in cars with such futuristic shape. It has that exotic engineer vibe old Italian cars are so loved for.
IRL I don’t know if there even was any passenger car engine with 5 cylinders before the Mercedes 240D 3.0, so rare indeed.
