I need to do something therapeutic with my (rather limited) spare time at the moment so I thought that starting on a car project for automation would be fun. It only has a front end at the moment but I will add further images as the car gets completed.

reminds me of a real hot wheels car called scoopa di fuego
2005 KMA K310
A whole bunch of variants based on the same mid-engined all-carbon fiber platform, with power outputs ranging from a tepid 60 bhp to a scorching 189 bhp, all from a 1.0L naturally aspirated inline-three.
Model range, left to right:
-
XLE: 60bhp engine, open diff, 14in forged wheels, hard long-life tires, and 5spd manual gearbox. Base model with maximum focus on economy - over 80mpg (US) if driven gently.
-
XLP: 100bhp engine, viscous LSD and 15in wheels. A decent blend of performance and economy (75mpg US), but still a flyweight among sports cars at 575kg.
-
XLS: 110bhp engine, sports compound tires, 6spd manual gearbox and helical LSD. More performance-oriented, but still capable of 66.6mpg (US). Also submitted for CSR163.
-
XLC: Identical to XLS, but with CD player and all electronic driving aids (ABS, SC/TC) omitted for less weight (515kg) and a more stripped-back experience.
-
XLT: Road-going version of the XLR (below), with a 145bhp engine and provision for semi-slick tires. Standard equipment is identical to that of the XLC - in other words, not much at all.
-
XLR: Track-only version built for maximum performance on a circuit, with a 189bhp engine and sub-500kg kerb weight (if passenger seat is removed). Suspension and brakes are retuned for racing tires.
Production was limited to 1000 units between 2005 and 2010, but the range proved that a small mid-engined sports car with a low-displacement engine, very low weight, and a focus on economy (even if it wasn’t a hybrid) could still be fun to drive.

The 1996 ETR Veloture. Designed for beauty, engineered to make history.
EXR GTR_________________________________Voyage_____________Crossrunner
Fastest street legal production car record: Broken at 405 km/h - 251 mph (voyage)
First car in the world to reach 400 km/h: done (voyage), sorry veyron
Fastest lap around the nordschleife (tested in beamng with a track mod): done (exr gtr)
Most powerful N/A engine ever: done, sorry mclaren
^^All these records are compared to the irl records from the year 1996^^
The Veloture Hypercar comes in 3 configurations. The GT/Hypercar variant Voyage, which is the speed record breaking one. The Track variant EXR GTR, the one to break the nordschleife lap record. And the Rally variant with a full 4x4 system, Crossrunner.
All 3 configs feature the same engine, an NA 6.0 V12 with 760hp and 740nm of torque. With alot of changes made to the rest of the cars according to their class. The race versions get a 6g sequential gearbox while the voyage gets a 6g manual. The race versions are street legal aswell, but barely.
They all come with pretty detailed interiors, I’ve tried to do my best with those parts but the mod body is not really meant for having an interior so it does have some issues with interior parts. Which are again, mod parts.
Here is a video edit of the voyage with music in the background (file too big for attachment):
I spent an unhealthy amount of time making this car. Hope yall like it. Veloture is my first supercar in this game, I’d say I did pretty good for a first time. Going to be uploading this to reddit aswell.

Well that is long ago first time playes Automation in lauch april 2012.
New at your local Dealer!
Some Eco Sport cars fresh summer deal. Get two for one.
Let me introduce to the Florori Agulius Ult(r)a Speedio. Sometimes you need power and some speed. This one drives actually quit nice.
One cons is the heavy vibration and angry neightbours when starting, so better parked a couple streets away from your home
Or from the Speed supplier new old stock. The SPE Godness version 2. Becarefull ride it with light foot, can make wheelie still in 4th gear.
It is a little bit tirtier than the Florori.
(Little disclamer: need every year or 2000 miles a fresh new engine. Rebore is not possible)…

The frontal air intakes appear to be mounted too low in my opinion, but it still looks period-correct to me.
@Lastgameking those builds may be the result of +15 quality spam everywhere - but getting anything to even approach 400 mph is still a massive achievement.
I think you made a mistake, i doubt you meant 400mph. Even so those speeds are definetely reachable with some autojank nonsense.
…Hi, I like cars, it’s also my first time playing and I’m already losing my mind. I want to share something super something. I noticed that there are clear patches that you can apply to remove volumes and put whatever shape you want. It’s not a particular name or brand, just the result I got.

Decided to revise the LVC LS60 again, this time with dual round taillight lenses per side (for a closer family resemblance to lesser LVCs), and a slightly different interior layout which I feel is more period-correct for '95.
Amazingly, it’s compatible with WES 9 after some further fiddling with the engine. Yet it still makes 500 horsepower and weighs just 1030 kg - more than enough to be a serious rival to its contemporaries.
Update (October 30, 2024): The coupe version has also undergone the same makeover:
Choosing between the coupe’s voluptuous bubble-like roofline and the roadster’s open-air feel would’ve been quite tough, as it is now - but I’d be happy with either of these body styles.

I would buy that LS35 right now, it’s gorgeous!
It might just have some competition, though, in the form of the TSC Tigerwolf.
This is a ground-up reimagining of an FM4 entry with a nose closer to something I made for LAC95.
Built on the '92 Evade body set (in case the one used for its previous incarnation becomes a legacy body and is removed in a future update), this all-alloy front-engined sports car packs an all-alusil 5.0L OHV V8 delivering 350 horsepower to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox and helical LSD.
With 17-inch forged alloy wheels wrapped in staggered high-performance tires (245mm front/275mm rear) and large ABS-assisted vented disc brakes at each corner, even the twistiest roads will be no match for it, especially with its race-bred all-independent suspension (A-arms front, multilink rear) keeping things under control without compromising comfort.
Like the LS35, it has a high-quality premium interior and stereo sound system with a CD + cassette player, along with dual front airbags.
Weighing just 1200kg (90kg less than the LS35), and being physically smaller to boot, it’s almost as fast (190mph Vmax, 0-60mph in 4.9s) and costs 10% less ($45k AMU instead of $50k AMU).
In any case, both of these would have been great cars for their time (and most likely still are today), but whereas the LS35 was created to fill a void in the mid-engined LVC range, the Tigerwolf was meant to answer the question, “What would I have entered in CW7 if someone else hosted it?”
The LS35 would have been even more of a driver’s car than the Tigerwolf (and by my admission, better-looking), but it’s obvious that the Tigerwolf would have been more reliable and easier to live with.
In short, if the LS35 were an F355 with the looks, engine, and body construction of a 360, then the Tigerwolf would be a fixed-roof TVR Griffith with the chassis of an Elise, the interior of an XK8 X100, and a front end similar to a pre-Vantage DB7.
It’s worth noting that I adjusted the LS35’s techpool to match the Tigerwolf’s (rather than vice versa), and replaced the nonfunctional body molding at the rear with a functional rear lip-like spoiler fixture for more rear downforce - it’s still one of my favorite designs to this day, though.
Update (9/13/24): I’ve replaced the taillight clusters with a different shape from the same fixture set, but stretched horizontally and compressed vertically. Here’s what its rear end looks like now:
I prefer the newer rear-end design to the previous one, if only just. The mechanicals remain unchanged, though, which is for the best.

POV: Lamborghini tried to make a laferrari
lol
Absolute Masterclass of a design, much better than the last one you posted
This is more like it - and far more believable as a hypercar. So what engine did you put in it? Whatever you chose, I’m glad the '08 Euro Supercar body set (the one that resembles a LaFerrari) has had its engine bay lengthened. Admittedly, that was long ago, but you are definitely making meaningful improvements on the exterior design of your cars.

Thanks, tbh, I just put a mock up engine to start the car right away. Nothing more.
