1992 KMA KX8A
Essentially the answer to “What if there was a V8-powered model line serving as a bridge between the entry-level KX2 and the KX12 at the top?”
320bhp from a mid-mounted 3.0L naturally aspirated 32v flat-crank V8 with an 8000-rpm redline, driving the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual gearbox/helical LSD, in a 1.2-ton all-aluminum body with 4-wheel ABS-assisted disc brakes and dual-wishbone suspension hooked up to 18-inch forged alloy wheels wrapped in staggered high-performance tires. Need we say more?
Oh, and it comes with a premium stereo incorporating an AM/FM radio, cassette tape deck, and CD player with a 6-disc stacker, as well as dual front airbags.

As a 4-door car, it would make more sense in the sedan/wagon thread - a 2-door version would be more appropriate here - but both of them have enough performance to justify their placing in this particular thread.

2013 AAA Crusader 6.0
This is what I’d wanted my abortive QFC71 entry to be if it wasn’t constrained by the rules of that round - instead of a galvanized steel bodyshell with partial aluminum bodywork and a 2+2 seating arrangement (which would’ve been a very tight fit on the '09 Jackal 2-door coupe with a 2.57m wheelbase), this is an all-aluminum pure 2-seater developing 450 bhp instead of 350 with an identically sized engine sharing the same valvetrain (OHV + VVT).
The choice between a 6-speed manual or advanced automatic transmission (to which the former has been fitted here - the Arbalest 2+2 had the latter instead) remains, though; both are hooked up to the rear wheels (now larger, forged items wrapped in staggered high-performance tires) via a helical LSD. The safety suite is the most advanced one available during the 2010s, to better fit its premium interior/infotainment combo.
Also shared between the two are dual-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension, with progressive-rate springs and adjustable adaptive dampers for world-class handling. The vented disc brakes are larger, with twice as many pistons per caliper, compared to those of the Arbalest, but traction and stability control have been retained along with ABS and variable-ratio hydraulic power steering.
Unlike its progenitor, the Crusader has a fully detailed interior, as shown below.
This Crusader is best described as “big engine + small car = big thrills” - even more so than its predecessors. 450 horsepower in a 1430kg car yields an 0-60 time of 4 seconds and a top speed of 193 mph, thanks to a functional aero kit (front/rear spoilers + rear lip diffuser) and a low frontal area. Although a contrasting color for the roof and pillars is optional, a carbon-fiber roof panel is standard on all coupes.

you have more of thoses… what are they called… supercars?
"QR Glider " 2030
An innovative, fully integrated aerodynamic package designed to control the airfoil profile beneath the car, almost as if it could glide over the asphalt. Under the hood, the unmistakable V8TT returns, delivering an impressive 715 kW and 869 Nm at 6300 rpm, a more tammed version than its predecessor, focusing on the thrill of everyday driving.

have anyone ever designed a flying buttress car i need a suggestion plz
Try the '86 Rosso in mid-engined tunnel-back configuration, in any wheelbase (there are also fastback and notchback variants), or the '95 Super Wedge (specifically, its tunnel-back variants) if you want a modern(ish) mid-engined car with that design feature. If, however, you want something newer, the '09 Mako (both the mod and vanilla variants) are also available as tunnel-backs as well as fastbacks. Older builds could use the mid-engined versions of the '72 Moore, which have both tunnel-back and fastback variants.
1989 Crona Veta
They never expected the Swedes to make a supercar. Nor did they expect the Swedes to make one so well.

The '87 Bossa Nova (on which the Crona Veta is based) works best in mid-engined configuration, even though those have an engine bay that’s wider than it is long (when it should be the other way around). As for the front-engined variants, their main problem is a lack of vertical space in their engine bays, making OHV and/or boxer engines the most viable options for those. In any case, you did a great job with it - and I’d expect the Veta to spawn at least one other variant (such as a convertible and/or a track-focused variant, for example). However, I’m guessing its default paint exterior color is most likely a placeholder until another option can be found.

I did actually make a WRC version of the Veta, and no, the color I chose just happens to look very placeholder

LTR ER R-GT Rally Edition
The lightweight sports car brand Lynx draws on track-dominating race cars to create production models that balance performance with comfort. In a past Automation GT online series, Lynx tuned an RR race car with rear tires just 10mm wider than the front. Despite heavy BoP penalties, it outpaced all rivals by over 3 seconds per lap and was more controllable than the stock setup. Both this road version and its rally sibling feature perfectly matching front and rear tires, all in pursuit of sublime driving bliss on mountain passes or circuits.
The base LTR ER used a massive front diffuser to clear wheel wake, while the elongated tail expelled hot air like a “spike engine,” achieving over 300 km/h with only 370 hp. The R-GT rally conversion adds only a high-angle wing and rally suspension. While the raised chassis drops top speed to 250 km/h, the wing and ejected air work together to lift the wake, erasing the original roof’s low-pressure zone—meaning downforce stays strong despite the lift.
The short wheelbase grants agility, and the soft suspension absorbs bumps with grace. It clocks 1:34 on Automation up hill gravel stages and holds 175 kph on the rugged Baja track. Though downforce falls short of pro-spec racers, mastering its rhythm delivers a supple, feline-like driving feel.
