I'd like to share my ideas for the vehicles I plan to make on here.

LM-Series

The LM-Series of cars is based on real LeMans specifications of the time, ranging from 1947 to 2025. There are 3 versions. The LM, a production car with 400-600HP. LM-S with 650-900HP and the LM-R, the racing version built to replicate the real specifications.

CitiCar

The CitiCar is a small city car with range from engines, from 600cc to 1.6, all Inline 4's, with some high performance turbo models. They go from 2007 to 2015. It is based on the Fiat 500 and Alfa Romeo MiTo

Hawk

The Hawk is a British sports car with an American V8 and is based mainly on the AC Cobra (1963-1967) and various TVR's (1970-2015)
 
Might as well try and look at some of the car designs buried in the thread.

This feels like a pretty conflicting design, the back looks like a tame Chevy Cobalt, and the front just screams "90'S RACECAR"

Both of those are works of art. Nuff said.

The front, for some reason, reminds me of the 2014 Chevy SS. Which is good apparently.
But i would change it from a small-boot coupe, to a full-on performance sedan.

Here's my first car.

600cc with 60HP and 1.2 with 115HP. Will do a 1.6 tomorroe
You know, i used to see a photo of the car a while ago.... atleast of the back. And i can't really rate a car that i can't see. cough cough, pics in the 2nd quote, and like the 2nd quote, i shall be assuming that it is a work of art.
 
CitiCar lineup is done!

It comes in 4 engines: 2.0 I4 with 180HP, 1.8 I4 with 160HP, 1.6 I4 with 140HP, 1.0 I4 with 120HP and an 800cc engine with 80HP. Off to get pics now

Edit: Extra Info and ingame screenshots
*Model Shown: CitiCar 2.0 Premium

You know, i think somewhere you said that it is more or less based off of an Alfa Romeo Mito, and/or a Fiat 500, or in other words, Italian.
And yet, i stil see it as more "American" with the front being somewhat similar to the Tesla Model S, and the back rear lights still keep reminding me of a Chevrolet Cobalt SS more than a Nissan Skyline and/or GTR.

I may do a more "European" style facelift in the future. It's meant to be a small French/Italian hatchback built for small European roads with EU spec suspension and small economical engines (Even the 2.0 does 40MPG)
 


Every once in a while, they'll release a "Little Dev Update" to show everyone what they're working on. Currently, they're making V6's for the next update.


And I'm hoping to apply for the beta tester position they are hiring for two weeks from tomorrow. Killrob is one, and he seems to be a cool dude.
 
After playing this game for a Few weeks this is the best i have came up with soo far, it's my New 2015 Supercar the Raider GT.

Design wise I didn't spend too much time because I was more focused on the engine for this project as I will likely be using it in more conventional cars later but I feel I got the perfect mix of Performance, Economy and Unique engine Layout as I could.

2036cc Direct Injection 40V Flatplane V8 Twin Turbo.

Producing an impressive 383hp @ 8500rpm and 257 lb-ft at 7100rpm from a 7 Speed Double clutch Transmission to the Rear Wheels it's able to propell the all Carbon Fibre bodied Radier GT to 100km/h(62Mph) in 3.4 seconds and return an Impressive 34.8MPG, this engine was capable of well over 550hp reliably but to make the Fuel economy relevent for 2015 standards I got it down to what it is now so it can set the standard for what can be achieved from such a small yet powerful V8 engine.

This engine will go nicely with my Next Super Hot Hatch project to take on the likes of the A45 and RS3, not only will it be better on fuel then those, but it will sound significantly better.
 
Finally bought the full game so expect many cars. Upcoming cars:

1940 Coupe V8
1945 Bug 1200
1955 Fareluxe V8 Premium
 
So the new update.

Is it just me or did the game get a whole load slower?
i didnt notice any diffference in speed but it doesnt calculate weight correctly... unless i did something wrong....
but turbo v6 in miata body= yessssssssssssssss
 
I wasn't even trying to but I seem to have made a super saloon faster than anything from Germany at the time.

Automation_Shipping_Steam 3354.jpg


It's got a Twin Turbo 3.0 DOHC V6 producing 462HP! It also has a special AWD system (Which I have called Sport Traction System or STS for short) and is capable of 170MPH. It is quite heavy due to all the luxuries, weighing 1579KG but still lighter than any of it's German rivals.

Similar cars from 1992-1998 (which is when my car would be in production)
Eagle Vikram STS Super Sport Turbo - 462HP 1579KG
BMW M5 E34 - 311HP 1750KG
Audi S8 D2 - 355HP 1730KG
Mercedes C43 AMG - 302HP 1590KG
 
And after creating a super fast saloon, I've built a super fast Group C car.

Automation_Shipping_Steam 3367.jpg


I created 2 Group C Cars before it (Hence why it's called the Evo II) but this is the best version. I've managed to get 980HP out of a Naturally Aspirated 8.0 V12 with a top speed of 190MPH.
 
This game is way too addictive. I just finished building a TT V8 with just a mere 1126kW and a N/A 6L V12 making well over 800nm of torque. And the sounds are just fantastic, especially a 3L I6 with a 6" exhaust and no cats or mufflers :lol:
 
Started playing this again and built a few cars. Pics will follow shortly.

Hammerhead (1967-1972)


The Hammerhead was Eagle's flagship car since it's inception in 1967 Originally there were two trim levels with two engines. The RS 302 featured a 5.0 290HP V8 while the SS 350 featured a 5.7 425HP V8. In 1969 a homologation "T/A 427" model was introduced to allow Eagle to take part in Trans Am racing. It featured the biggest, most powerful engine, ever put in a road legal production car, with a 7.0 V8 producing 570HP in the front of the T/A.

Production for the Hammerhead ended in 1972 and, while Eagle planned a second generation model for 1974, the Oil Crisis forced them to abandon the project and start work on the Kansei 280.

RS 302 (1967-1972)
Engine: VS8 5.0 V8
Power: 289 BHP @ 4200 RPM
Torque: 369 FT-LBS @ 3700 RPM
Fuel Economy: 16 MPG
Weight: 1625 KG

SS 350 (1967-1972)
Engine: VS8 5.7 V8
Power: 425 BHP @ 6100 RPM
Torque: 395 FT-LBS @ 6100 RPM
Fuel Economy: 12 MPG
Weight: 1725 KG

T/A 427 (1970-1972)
Engine: VR8 7.0 V8
Power: 570 BHP @ 5600 RPM
Torque: 535 FT-LBS @ 5600 RPM
Fuel Economy: 11 MPG
Weight: 1630 KG

Kansei (1969-1979)

The Kansei is the car known for helping Eagle Motor Works through the 1973 oil crisis. Production for the Kansei 240 (introduced in 1969) was planned to end in 1974 but production continued until 1979 alongside the Kansei 280 (Introduced in 1972).

The Kansei 240 featured a 2.4 Inline 6 engine producing 170HP and was designed for getting Eagle into the Japanese market. Due to the success of the K240, Eagle released the Kansei 280 in 1972. This car featured a 2.8 Inline 6 producing 240HP, but was siginificantly heavier than the 240 (1040KG in the 240, 1220KG in the 280). The 240 averaged around 20 MPG while the 280 averaged around 15.

Kansei (1999-2010)

At the 1999 Tokyo Motor Show Eagle introduced their latest 2 seat sports car, the Kansei. This car was built to challenge the latest Japanese sports cars. Two models were launched in 1999, the Kansei 2000 featured a Naturally Aspirated 2.0 Inline 6, with a 9000RPM redline, that produced 246HP, and this car was built to take on lower level sports cars such as the Honda S2000 and Nissan Silvia Spec R. The Kansei 3000 was the top range model, with a Naturally Aspirated 3.0 Inline 6, producing 325HP, and was built to take on the top Japanese sports cars such as the Skyline GT-R and Toyota Supra.

A facelifted version was released in 2006, and introduced a 330HP 3.2 V6 to the lineup alongside the 2000 and 3000 models. With the launch of the 480HP GT-R in 2007, Eagle decided to build an entirely new supercar from the ground up in 2010 to replace the Kansei.

Riviera (1984-1992)

With the oil crises calming down in the 1980's Eagle decided to create the ultimate super car. In 1984 they came up with the Riviera. The successor to the 1955 car of the same name, this new car was built to be better than anything from Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini. Two models were launched in 1984, the Riviera GT and Riviera Turbo. The Riviera GT was powered by a Naturally Aspirated 3.8 V8 producing 380HP, with a top speed of 186 MPH. However there was also a Turbo model released the same year that was built to be the first car to top 200 MPH. Powered by the same V8 of the GT model, two turbo's were put on to the engine to produce over 550HP, and propel the car to a top speed of 215 MPH.​

Eagle Speedster



Eagle's first sports car was the 1955 Speedster. Powered by a 6.0 V12 that produced 315HP, more than the equivalent Ferrari, it was one of the fastest cars of it's time. A racing version, called the Speedster GTS, was also produced. It featured a coupe body style and a race tuned version of the 6.0 V12, producing 350HP. It was lighter as well, and featured racing suspension and brakes. Top speed of the GTS was increased from 145 MPH to 160 MPH and 0-60 went from 16.7 Secs to 14.3 Secs. 2 racing versions with were run at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1956. With a slightly smaller engine (5.0 instead of 6.0) the cars ran in the under 5 litres class. #22 finished 11th overall, after 230 laps, while #23 suffered transmission failure after 188 laps, so it was classified in 17th.

Cost: $14,000
Engine: "VS12 DCOENA600" 6.0 V12
Power: 315 BHP @ 4500 RPM

I just got into this game. Spent far too long making a 660cc city car...for 1946.

Now my dad's into it too. Can't wait for multiplayer. Also can't wait for the switch to unity the Unreal Engine. Should be gorgeous!

Wasted many hours on this game, it is addictive! V12 Turbos and Manufacturing facilities have appeared in the latest update.
 
What's really entertaining is making a turbo rally I4. Make the engine a 2.0L I4, and try to get as much power as possible from it. You learn a lot about turbos in the process, too.

I guess it's time to stick my 400hp TR I4 into a minivan!
