I seem to be incapable with tuning turbos for performance, too bad I submitted already but, wonder what 100 hp would look like with my current design.
âSo, the world wants hatchbacks, but weâve been tasked to not only make a âworldâ saloon, but one with an aluminum motor!. what do we do?â
âmake a saloon with a dropback that looks sorta like a hatch back and hope for the best with the engine?â
âJenkins youâre a GENIUS!â

Did you unironically combine the 70s Civic with Opel grill and BMW headlights?

no, i used the Allegro body.
the grill and headlights iâm not sure of.
this is kinda remind me when im trying stupidly small engine tutorial in demo, this is bit too strict for me and quite painful to squish some power
I thought about making a version of my engine with >100 bhp (turbocharged, of course), but feared that too much fuel economy would be lost in the process.
@gridghost I love the look of the Nouveau, especially in French Racing Blue; its front end reminds me of a Mk2 Ford Escort RS2000. My only complaint is that the quad exhausts seem excessive on a car with just four cylinders, but otherwise, itâs a purposeful machine.

ErmâŚboss? You remember when Stormtrooper Dave drove that Volvo into the back of that VWâŚand they fused together?
WellâŚI think we can flog it off to the FrenchâŚ
And if they reject itâŚwe blow up their countryâŚ
Hereâs the carâŚyou think theyâll fall for it?

P.s. Love what your doing with the Death Star.
P.p.s. Donât get this mixed up with the ârealâ information pack you send to the Frenchies.

@NormanVauxhall Quick question as far as midsize and compact go. Iâm used to the American sizes of cars, so if I were to submit a car with a wheelbase of almost 2.7m would that be considered too large for a French midsize sedan?
Borderline. Be sensbile and will be ok.
Come you make a pass list for the cars that made it in please? Iâm not sure if my car made it in
I will not do it.
Soon Iâll post a list of the names of the users whom submitted the cars and the % of cars that have passed the scrutineering, the % of the cars with some future historical intrests and the % of the car sent to the scrapyard.
JeezâŚwe just took our car out of the scâŚSHOWROOMâŚ
We at Respondek Automobil Werke (RAM) thought SACAM might like the design we use in other parts of the world and in the BRC with welded doors.

1974 was really busy at the Baltazar Group Design and Engineering department, but when we got that poorly written fax we couldnât help but laugh at it. After laughing some more, we came up with this car, built for SACAM and called by our engineers the Omelette du Fromage.

I really should have read the brief a bit more carefully instead of making this three-metre wheelbase behemothâŚwell at least looks like I will have another car for the open source car thread. Back to the drawing board!

At the R&D Department. 2 engineers, Rory and Harold, were looking at the peculiar looking automobile that was getting worked on today. The car was on jack, with wheels and bonnet removed. There was also an opened engine crate sitting beside the car, ready to be put in the machine.
âMate, why did the French rejected this thing anyway? Itâs not that bad a car.â Harold speak to Rory while heâs mounting the engine on the crane.
âThey said itâs a bit too austere, doesnât fit in with their brand identity. Also, the engine bay is far too tiny to fit anything worthwhile. Thatâs what they told us.â Rory replied. âBut while our FRE department doesnât care for bore smaller than 81mm, those guys at S.A.C.A.M do.â
âThen why donât we keep it for ourselves?â
âThe thing looks fucking ugly, Harold, why would we keep it for ourselves?â
âYeah youâre right⌠What shall we call it though? I donât think FF268-F is the catchiest of name.â
âI believe FRE department call it the âCoinâ or something. Why donât we just call it that?â
âOkay.â
âOh look!â Harold said, while pointing at a piece of paper stuck to the top cover of the engine crate. âThose guys left us a message, I wonder what it says.â
Rory lean his head the way the engine was and read the message.
âTo Rosbif, the engine valve float of happening at 7000rpm, to get best result with our engine, you must put your gas pedal hard. No fear of exploding. Think deux chevaux-vapeur.â
