CSC 6 - Mid-Engined Dreams
It’s 1995. The head conference room at the Sisten Motoring Corporation offices in Detroit are packed with arguments, torn hairs and people running around.
“Tell me again Johnson… how much money do they want?”
— “Added together, it’s over 5 million dollars to finish this concept.”
The lead designers at Sisten, also responsible for Taluvec and Corsica, have gone to the streets to protest about unfair working conditions and a small paycheck. After many negotiations, they aren’t giving up.
“Come on, they should know we’re squeezing out as much money as we can for their pay. We don’t have anything else left!”
— “They don’t care, they want more of it.”
“Please tell me we’ve still got the engineers?”
— “Yes, they seem to be hanging in there, but barely.”
The current designers were supposed to finish their work with the Corsica Seca Concept, due to be shown in just a few months. The Seca was supposed to be the futuristic, stylish and sleek concept car that would wow the general audience and especially journalists. However now, nobody is around to finish this design. With that, a decision was made - sketches for the upcoming concept car made by the Sisten team would be thrown out. A phonecall followed.
“Katie my dear assistant, could you put me through with some of the finest design studios you know?”
You will be in the role of either a design studio, a single designer or a partnering brand (didn’t steal this idea, I swear) who has been tasked with redesigning the Corsica Seca concept car, due to be out in a few months.
The mid-engined Seca is intended to be the halo car for them, despite not being a production vehicle. It should feature a sleek, good-looking design that would fit in well with the rest of 90’s mid-engined concept cars. In the early 90’s, the designs at Corsica started getting much sleeker and rounder than they were in the 80’s, Try to remember that.
Many thanks to @On3CherryShake for the Seca name!
Requirements
- Trim year must be 1996. It’s suggested the model year also be 1996, however I won’t mind if it’s a few years earlier than that
- Must be mid-engined, with a longitudinal setup.
- The chassis must be monocoque, chassis material must be Galvanized Steel and the panel material must be Partial Aluminium. The engineers have already done their job, they’re not changing this.
- Must have at least 2 seats.
- Should have 2 doors.
Help and Suggestions
- Corsica is American, and as much as they love freedom, they would not mind receiving a car that looks European or Asian.
- Remember that you are designing a concept car, this does not need everything that a road-going car requires.
- This is the start of the current lore for Corsica. The designs made in-house could be considered conservative, not breaking any boundaries. Making a design that breaks away from this tradition should be an incredibly welcomed change that would surprise the general public as well as the journalists.
An engine has not been provided as a special one is not needed.
