Thsi thread was made to make your ideas for a car/truck/bus. Get your ideas :stuck_out_tongue:

My one:

[size=200]Zsolticorp Wanderer[/size][size=150] 1955-1957[/size]
[size=85]Picture below[/size]

It is a unique car among the others, having an 8 litre V8[same class cars had a 6 litre V8], unusual double lights, and the unique rear lights. It was the most popular car in its era.

Specs:
Engine: 7995 cc V8
Power: 395 HP
High torque
Chassis:High-quality ladder frame
Bodywork:Designed by Zsolticorp and Wanderer
Weight: 2240 kg [hardtop coupƩ]
Passengers: 4

yay for bumping old threads! :mrgreen:

ANYWAY

The first halo car of serothis motor corp (name needs work, I know) would be a mx-5 body (coupe version anyway), 1.8l v6 w/ 7k+ redline N/A. The preformance package version would have turbo. Not sure how much power I could actually get out of either version but the goal would be 230+ hp (base) and 300+ hp (turbo).

It would probably cost an arm and a legā€¦and your left kidney. :open_mouth:

Im only a Mazda KLZE V6 and a hardtop away from having that! I want! :mrgreen:

5

230hp from a 1.8L thatā€™s aiming high. A bit high than the S2000 in fact and that with a scientifically lower redline. Not saying it isnā€™t possible, in fact judging from the I4s it is but not much higher with out higher revs.

6

Ah yeah, I didnā€™t see the 1.8L bit, would probably need to be more like 3L

7

I was thinking along the lines of a modern interpretation of the k8 engine. Far fetched and I would have to sacrifice fuel economy to acheive it but itā€™s a miata so it has to say small and light

230 number is a goal not an absolute :mrgreen:

8

Actually, if you could run it to 7800rpm or so, my half arsed calculations say it could work, maybe with a bit of near future tech :slight_smile:

9

Hmm so a larger displacement while I wait for the wankel. Although the novelty of a small displacement v6 is very tempting

10

ive seen LS7ā€™s and the like put into a MX-5 - a little overkill - but a KL-ZE would be awesome while keeping it in the family :smiley:

You sort the money thing out, and Iā€™ll sort the others for you :laughing:

I think I would want a 3 rotor monstrosity over the ls7. Still epic though.

But then again thereā€™s still a problem of a lack of time, money, equipment and skill.

And it doesnā€™t help when I find pretty examples like this

15

well if time, money, equipment, and skill werenā€™t an issue, Iā€™d be currently driving around with a triple rotor in my MR2 :wink:

16

I already have my entire fleet planned out. :wink: This plan will have to be phased in over time as technology allows, but this is my targeted end goal.

I plan on four basic DOHC engines utilizing the same bore and stroke to reduce theoretical tooling costs and ease the tuning process. Iā€™m thinking of using an undersquare configuration of a 76.5 mm bore and 87 mm stroke, which should give me a piston velocity of just under 4000 feet per second at 7000 rpm. I might revise that if the valve area proves too small, however. Eventually each engine will come in a naturally apirated, low pressure turbo, and high pressure turbo configuration with a final target of 75, 100, and 125 horsepower per liter, respectively. That will give me the following to play with:

1.6 I4 with 120, 160, and 200 hp
2.4 I6 with 180, 240, and 300 hp
3.2 V8 with 240, 320, and 400 hp
4.8 V12 with 360, 480, and 600 hp

The entry model will a small RWD hatchback based on the Toyota AE86. It will be offered with all three I4 configurations and have a target weight of 2500 to 2600 lbs.

Next up will be a compact RWD sedan based on the BMW E30/E36. It will be offered with all three I6 configurations and have a target weight of 3000 to 3200 lbs.

Above that will be a midsized RWD sedan based on the BMW E34/E39. It will be offered with all three V8 configurations and have a target weight of 3500 to 3800 lbs.

The big cheese will be a full size RWD sedan based on the BMW E38 and Mercedes Benz W140. It will be offered with all three V12 configurations and have a target weight of 4000 to 4400 lbs.

There will be a front engined RWD sports car based on the C6 Corvette. It will be offered only with the high pressure turbo V8 and have a target weight of 3000 to 3200 lbs.

Finally, there will be an exotic carbon fiber mid engined RWD supercar. It will be offered only with the high pressure turbo V12 and have a target weight of 3000 to 3200 lbs.

Hopefully this is a workable business plan, Iā€™d hate to go bankrupt because I didnā€™t offer enough SUVs and FWD crapboxes!

Nice, Iā€™ve been planning out my fleet as well, stuck in the 80s and early 90s as far as designs go. I finished 1 model family (late 70s-late 80s HB) and 1 engine family (OHV and SOHC 4s to go with the hb). But I think that would be too much to post.

1st one I finished. I came up with the performance numbers in a game.
