This is a ground-up rethink of the original LS60 - it’s now a hardcore track-focused supercar with an open roof, making it closer to the F50 than any Zonda in ethos. This is because when reimagining the venerable LS60, I opted for a sports interior/premium CD player combo and a smaller, lighter 4.0L V12 making 500bhp, to save weight.
I like this new version better because part of me felt that up to now, the LS60 actually had too much power and needed expensive semi-slick trackday rubber to benefit from it; now, it only needs sports tires. But given that the 330 P4 (one of my aesthetic inspirations for this build) had an open roof, I felt it would be churlish not to create a roadster version.
The interior is more pared-back than in the original, with carbon and Alcantara replacing the wood and leather trim previously used. Also, the brightwork has been toned down to reflect the sportier ambiance.
500bhp, 10000rpm, and 1072kg (with maximum ballast fitted)… those figures are sure to put the fear of God into anyone - or anything - that’s brave enough to face it, whether on the open road or at a racetrack!
It’s a welcome contrast to the '05 AMS Archangel 7.2 900 I made for QFC39 - a 900bhp beast whose 7.2L V12 revs to a slightly more reasonable, but still stratospheric 9000 rpm.
This time, I threw the kitchen sink at it with semi-active dampers, an e-LSD, and active sway bars, while still retaining the RWD/6-speed manual combination of the pre-4.3 version shown here.
I also made a tamer 700bhp version for INSTT as a Tier 6 car, to complement the LS60 Spyder (which was my Tier 5 submission there), although I still like the 900bhp version more.
Both of these cars, in their current forms, would have been every schoolboy’s wet dream - even among supercar/hypercar fantasies, these two thrive on revs, and lots of 'em. I wouldn’t be surprised if they became wall poster material, and something meant not for poseurs, but for serious drivers.

Would you happen to have a download for this vehicle? I’d like to review it for my magazine. Much appreciated!
It’s barely recognizable as an NSX (specifically, the later NA2), but the idea is sound. And from what I’ve seen so far, you used one of the '80 Group C body sets and disguised it with 3D fixtures to get the desired shape.
Dead thread
Such insight
Not yet - at least, not if I have anything to say about it. Here’s a test mule I cooked up to prove the viability of QFC41, and also to answer the question that’s been on my mind ever since I started work on it: “What would I have submitted for QFC41 if I’d been an entrant instead of the host?”
This would have been my most likely option - a 100bhp mid-engined sports coupe weighing just 750kg, powered by an all-alloy 1.6L DOHC 8v fuel-injected I4. It sits right on the $15k budget cap (no doubt due to generous use of quality points in key areas, such as the engine, though this is mainly for reliability), but I reckon our client would still have gotten a lot for his money if he’d picked it over the rest.
That looks nicee, it also kinda reminds me of the Lotus Carlton
Adapted from earlier versions for QFC44.
Unlike earlier versions, this one runs a 250bhp 2.5L flat-six - which I feel is just about right for this car’s size.
