Unusual body panels

trabant had duroplast

btw wouldn’t it be cool to have titanium body panels or chassis. not rust but the welding would be nightmare

Yeah, but that is not a commonly used thing - not enough to appear in Automation. It would be fun, but sorry, there are more important things to add. Like compressors and new turbo configurations. And devs have limited possibilities and time.

Tbh, I kinda want plastic body panels for cars that aren’t stuck to limited production. Might just be me though ¯_(ツ)_/¯

trabant was a mass produced plastic car :smiley:

yeah, I was trying to make a trabant-esque car in the lite campaign, but limited production.

now imagine a supercar with plastic panels. when you drive so fast the plastic falls off

I call it weight reduction :laughing: makes you drive faster

The aerodynamics would be fouled.

Stainless steel like Delorean. Or I believe there was a Russian design that used leather as the bodywork.

There was a Canadian steam-powered car using artificial leather bodywork in the late 20s.

I believe there’s a Dutch company that still uses wood and leather today.

Also while I agree there’s no point having it in the game, titanium panels and kevlar skin, like in Carmageddon fuck yeah

I believe morgan is still using wood for their body panel and their supports?

yes, right you are. And I was mistaken about the leather car, that was Czech company from a while ago:

(notable in that list is the experimental use of organic material piloted by Henry Ford, except WWII happened.)
