1987 KMA KX12 GT Spider
Originally created for TMCC26 and fitted with a luxury interior and stereo (complete with CD player) as well as adaptive dampers. This build has pop-up headlights instead of exposed ones (it’s a late-80s performance car, what else did you expect?).
1992 KMA KF12
Cloned from the original TMCC26 submission, with the engine also cloned and given an AlSi block/heads, developing 20 more horsepower compared to the original. It now has a sports interior with premium CD player, in a full carbon-fiber body/chassis with pushrod-actuated suspension, but no driving aids or adaptive dampers, for a rawer, more visceral driving experience. 440 bhp in a 1,050kg supercar yields a 0-60 time of 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 202 mph - a sizable improvement over the original, but at a huge cost ($70,500 AMU instead of $39,900 AMU).
If TMCC26 had required me to submit a car from 1992, and if money had been no object, this is what my submission would have looked like - its exterior has been revised with exposed headlights (because aerodynamics), a more curvaceous front bumper, and bigger side intakes, among other things.
