It’s not a typo? It’d be hard to make it any worse than 1408L/100km, I suspect 
Did you tune the engine badly or something?

I used an extremely aggressive cam profile and a 14:1 AFR, but on the other hand, it allowed me to squeeze out over 750 bhp from the engine, which I assumed would be necessary for Mr. Vercetti to hunt down rival gang members or escape from the fuzz. The downforce undertray and high weight are partially to blame as well. At least I provided a large reinforced fuel tank in my entry…
What everybody else has already realised is that with the figures you quoted, you’d be pulling into the gas station to refill every 2km.
That, and the screenshots actually state the figure to be 14.08 L / _100_km.That one hundred is important

Sorry, it was my mistake all along. I thought it was liters per kilometer instead of liters per 100 kilometers. 
Don’t worry, kubby has picked me up not once, but twice, for first giving my car far too low a power to weight ratio, then far too high.

I really hope the car looks will be part of the judgement… O_O’
Oh yes, they will.

Now I think I can have a chance.
I’m in the “oh wow I don’t know what to submit” crowd, but this is very quickly turning into a GT Premium contest.
I can live with that.
I really hope Mr.Vercetti is fine with around 600hp… if he likes the Elegy RH8 he will love what i have in store.
As soon as the rules were announced for this round, I knew only one kind of entry would be the right choice in my opinion - a supercar (or should it be hypercar?) inspired by the Aventador SV, (mid-engined, AWD, >700-bhp normally aspirated V12, scissor-doored wedge shape) with loads of power, a stratospheric price tag (but not too high, obviously) and enough presence to be worthy of an appearance in a Need for Speed game (especially the latest one). And that’s exactly what I submitted - and I have no regrets no matter what the outcome will be.
In fact, the NA/AWD combination was the only one I believed would provide enough drivability for me to be in contention, while a full luxury interior and infotainment suite seemed like the only way to provide enough comfort and prestige for my clientele. But are there any viable alternatives to these approaches? Actually, there were - before the rules were announced, I considered submitting my NMC Python (which I had entered in Realism Challenge 3, hosted by @CamKerman) or the ADM Skyhawk 800 (my entry in DRC9), but rejected them for being purely rear-drive and/or turbocharged, neither of which applied to what I actually submitted for CSR20.

oh shit son that is sexy. And great photoshopping, too.
Thank you! (^-^)/ I wish I had more time to do full Photoshops, but I forgot to do a 5-page Biology essay due next week when school starts >->
I know the feeling, I have two job interviews, a weekend seminar to go to, tax returns to file and some notes to finish for my study group before I go back to work next week and I have a couple of pictures I want to finish, plus some stories to write…
Not at all intended to be a pissing contest, just, being busy on your holidays isn’t the best so keep making as much of it as you can!
Love the look of your modern interpretation of the Stinger GT. It looks like a proper supercar with a retractable folding hardtop and scissor doors! And that twin-turbo V8 reminds me of a 488 GTB or Spider. By the way, which real-life cars (if any) did you use as reference for the pictures? I just found the instrument panel of a late model 911 in there! I also love the bright blue, which is not only one of my favorite colors, but suits the car’s lines really well and reminds me of Blu Corsa, one of the many colors available on the 488 (and the best one for it in my opinion).
I just slapped the car onto a gradient background, went onto OZ Wheels (which by the way has the best 360 wheel viewer ever*) and picked up some wheels, and went ham and cheese.
*Except maybe Vossen. Their viewer is pretty bomb diggity.

Dear Mr. Vercetti,
First of all we hate to shatter your ego as you would not be the first person of how should we say… legitimate yet misunderstood by authorities businessmen. That being said we seem to have developed an eye for what someone of your, unique tastes requires. Without further ado, I give you…
The 2016 Petoskey Meteor Love Fist Edition
The Love Fist Edition takes the Meteor one step further. Carbon fiber construction ensures the vehicle is sturdy while remaining light weight.
Under the hood sits a 6.6L V8 lifted out of a Stag pickup and then beefed up.
Twin turbochargers boost output to over 1000 horsepower yet the vehicle still averages around 17.7 mpg*
Because the engine is out of a Stag pickup, it was built to last. The solid design allows for increased output without compromising the strength of the engine. True, it isn’t geared for towing a boat, but it is excellent for hauling the Meteor through straight lines and out of corners. A unique AWD system allows you to maintain control and put that power to the ground where it belongs.
Inside you’ll find only the finest in luxury refinements and digital entertainment. We should know how comfortable it is, we had specialists from our Ventnor division design the interior.
I understand that emissions are not your top priority and to be honest it isn’t one of ours either, though with this car… let’s just say that if you eat a piece of garlic bread, your breath will be more noticeable than the exhaust of this car.
I think it’s safe to say that the strongest point of our car is the emphasis on safety. (I apologize for the unintended pun) Vice City has a reputation for a high number of muggings, carjackings, arson, drug use… you get the idea. While we have no idea of your driving ability, we also have no idea of everyone else’s driving ability either. With that in mind the Meteor is one of the safest cars on the planet, and sturdy enough that an estimated 82% of current gen Meteors not only survived major accidents but were able to drive away from them.
Don’t worry about whether you’ll make the scene when driving a Meteor. The prestige granted rivals even the 1945 Ventnor Speedster, one of the most exclusive cars in the world. (I understand a Mr. Ricardo Diaz used to own one, wasn’t he an associate of yours?) However, despite the outstanding nature of the car, should you wish to avoid being noticed, the quad reverse flow mufflers will see to that. But put that hammer down and bypass valves will make sure that the engine gets to breathe all that it needs.
