@szafirowy01 I take it this is the non-959 of this round? :wink:

Closer to sth between non-944 and non-911, but smaller and lighter (under 4m and a bit over 900kg) :slight_smile: And it has the engine in the front.

What a mix then! Can we call it the “totally not a Porsche”-Porsche of the 80s of this round then? :wink:

You have been in this place before. Higher on the street. And you know it’s your time to go for it:
The Taore Corogne RZ-2000 TURBO. For 17420 AU

Features Include: Turbocharged 2l 4(5) cylinder DOHC engine, Torsen differential, sports tires, two bucket seats, of course with seatbelts, Dolby B capable tape deck, and for the times you’ve got premium in the tank: A Turbo Button.
Press it, and you’ll go into the TURBODRIVE-mode, which gives you 146% of the usual boost and especially brings the mid range torque up while being good for over 190 hp. But you don’t have to feed it premium to drive it daily, or nightly.
Get in and have a test drive, here are the keys. Feel free to press the button :wink:

Click the image for a demonstration of the tape deck.

Thank you for extending the Dredd-line :wink:
Allowed me to revise and complete the styling! I do tend to work hours on the rear end alone. Yes, that is the car in the gif linked in the ad above :smile:

#Designed through art, engineered by technology.
The all-new 1987 Kimura Eminence. The finest sports sedan ever from Kimura Motors.

The drivetrain has an all-new front-mounted 3.8 Liter DOHC Naturally Aspirated V6, routing power to the rear wheels through either a 4-speed automatic or a 5-speed manual. A limited slip differential is standard on manual models, of which could surge from 0-62 MPH in under 7 seconds. Producing a healthy 203 HP and 215 lb-ft with a redline of 6200 RPM, the engine is tuned for city driving as well as hard-stress situations. 4-wheel independent suspension and 4-wheel disc brakes are standard on all models. ABS and Power steering are also standard equipment.

With a premium interior and tape deck, the Eminence was a true luxury cruiser. With the optional “Dove” interior package, the amount of seats was reduced to 2 in order to fit more comfortable seats and a front and rear telephone in addition to a rear refrigerator. A driver and passenger airbag is also standard.


The Etude in final sketching and rendering phases.

A light yet elegant design is featured on the Eminence. With straight, refined lines, and cohesive trim around the Kimura, the car is sure to make an impression on others. Scientifically speaking, the design is aerodynamic and sleek. One of the first Kimura’s to be designed using a computer-aided design software, the Eminence is supremely engineered to handle all types of weather conditions. It will cost under $18,000 new.

GIMP it :wink:
But basically, took a gif like this, opened it up in GIMP (which does neatly show all frames as layers) and loaded the RZ2K as another layer. Manipulated the value and color curves to the nightly light setting, drawn a glow to the rear lights, rotated it and deleted the front wheel. I then copied the layer with my edited car for each frame and put it over the AE86 by scaling it, sometimes even shuffled it around with the perspective tool and erased bits of Trueno. Was a bit complicated to me, since the RZ2K has a longer wheelbase than the Hachi Roku, and because the FOV in Automation does warp the cars quite a bit. The light streak and motion blur I have redone. Then merged all layers onto their respective frames. Finally added the TURBODRIVE being engaged here, just a few frames in between.
I’m glad you like it :slight_smile:

Ok, after much researching car adverts of the 80s, this took me long enough. Now I hope nobody calls me overnight…

p.s. the way I’m talking up this car’s performance, you’d be surprised how low the power actually is, lel. It’s all about how you use it.

zoom in on the image asshole* :joy: it’s totally in the style of the magazine spread ads of the day.

Also, as magical as I can be :grin: , I’m not sure I could get 200bhp to get from 0-100km/h in 4.3s in that body…

*like seriously, I did a fair bit of work on the graphics, at least do me a favour!
