Hmm, expanding from drugs, robbery, and extortion I see.

Your first two designs are a promising start. Keep up the good work!
Edit: Having seen your next two designs, I am sure that you have a knack for designing attractive cars - the 2000FR in particular, with its clean and uncluttered lines, reminds me of early 90s Japanese sports coupes such as the S13/S14 Silvia. And the Bravo GT looks quite nice too, with clear echoes of a Jag XJ or Aston DB9 from the mid-2000s.

Hey there, Wassy4. Only just found your thread, but I’m honestly impressed with your work here.

From this point forward, performance figures like 1/4 mile and lap times will be eliminated for cars that aren’t geared towards performance.

The Nightingale is a bit odd. For an early 90s car, its use of weight-saving aluminum panels is unusual; however, even though it uses a unibody construction, it has double-wishbone front suspension. On an SUV such as this, a strut front would be a better choice if you actually want to go off-road but can’t stand the excess weight of a separate chassis. Still, it looks quite nice from any angle. The biggest concern, however, is 180 bhp and 12.4 mpg. Even in 1990, this would have been seen as inadequate, but at least it’s more frugal than the Nomad. Nevertheless, given time, the engineering and design standards of your cars should improve, hopefully leading to a range of more desirable models.
140 bhp in a small, light front-driver would have been quite a lot in 1995, but a five- or six-speed gearbox would have been more appropriate. Also, the SC-C would look better from the rear aspect with smaller exhaust pipes and no grille on the rear bumper.

I do agree about the exhaust pipes. The original design had normal exhaust pipes and no grille but I wanted to go for something kind of wacky. I also agree on the power but it’s just a one-off concept car so it’s not like it would’ve been driven. More of a show for things to come.
As for the Bravo Mk.1, it looks period-accurate, but it could be improved by using a monocoque chassis and a strut front/semi-trailing arm rear - I’m assuming that this combination is actually possible in 1955. Nevertheless, it’s a more convincing classic car than I thought it would be.

Strut wasn’t available 
I also thought that monocoque wasn’t widely used until the 60s, so give me a history lesson if I’m wrong
It turns out that the strut front/semi trailing arm rear I was talking about is only possible if a monocoque chassis is being used when constructing a front-engined car, and indeed such a configuration is possible in 1955. Double wishbones are mandatory with a ladder chassis, though. Also, for the sake of environmental resistance, the Bravo would have been better off with a galvanized steel chassis.

So far this is the best use I’ve seen of the new bodies in the updated UE4 version. I hope it gets better from here…

The rear confuses me. There’s so much unused space there, and you’ve put exhausts on the sides (which is hugely impractical in an MR car), which means you got pretty much nothing to fill that space with.

For the most part the Clover line looks nice, but I would prefer moving the exhaust pipes to the rear fascia and add a few small vents there, just so that it doesn’t look too bland.
