The "Low Effort" car competition

I refuse to believe the exterior has 10 fixtures.

i could have went for 9 fixtures total but i needed to have that strut bar!

what kinda magic are you pulling off here
is half the car a single fixture?

The exterior including underchassis = 9

The interior = 1

The total = 10

I’ll revive this thread with a 25-fixture build I cooked up recently - the GEC G2S Turbo 2.0.

It’s a reimagining of my CSR121 entry, but with an even more minimalist design to fit the constraints of this challenge - and it could serve as the starting point for a more detailed version.
