READ THE OP! GTP Cool Wall Nomination Thread [Always accepting more cars!]

[Wiegert]

It should say 64 horsepower, not 65.

It's neither. 63 hp is the maximum regulated power output for a 660cc K car like the Pajero Mini. 64 refers to PS, which isn't the measurement we go with on the CW spec list.

Even if it's not correct in the nomination post, it's something I'd nonetheless change when putting the polling thread together anyway.

 

[Grandea GTR]

Speaking of changes, I done goofed on the drive train layout on the president (FF LOL) and changed it to FR, just to let you know, @Wiegert .

2003-2010 Dodge Viper SRT-10

Body Style: 2 Door Coupe/Convertible
Engine: 8.3 V10 (2003-2006), 8.4 V10 (2007-2010)
Power Output: 500 BHP (2003-2006), 600 BHP (2008-2010)
Torque: 535 FT-LBS (2003-2006), 560 FT-LBS (2008-2010)
Weight: 1530KG (2003-2006), 1570KG (2007-2010 SRT), 1545KG (ACR)
Transmission: 6 Speed Manual
Drivetrain: Front Engine Rear Wheel Drive
Additional Information: The Dodge Viper went under a major redesign in 2002, courtesy of Chryslers StreetRacingTechnology (SRT) group. The GTS & RT/10 trim models were replaced with the SRT-10 and was restyled with sharp, angular bodywork. The engine in the new viper was an 8.3 V10 producing 500HP. The chassis was also improved, becoming more rigid and weighing 35KG less than the GTS. An even stronger chassis was planned, but abandoned due to cost and the Viper originally only being a convertible.

A coupe version was unveiled in 2005 (as a 2006 model) and shared most of the body panels of the convertible, but the rear was from the Competition Coupe. The coupe looks more like the original GTS, featuring the roof and taillights and also being available in Blue with white stripes, like the old GTS. The coupe was slightly heavier than the convertible but the engine was also more powerful (producing 510HP).

In 2008, the 8.4 V10 was introduced to the Viper and, thanks to some help from McLaren, produced an unbelievable 100HP more tha the 8.3 V10, with 600HP in SRT-10 trim. The changes to the 2008 model were distinct enough from the first SRT-10 that Chrysler called this model the MKIV. The ACR model was also unveiled in 2008, featuring a huge front splitter and GT wing with the 8.4 V10 being tuned to produce 640HP.

In 2009 Dodge announced they would be ending production of the Viper in 2010, but Dodge then announced several special editions based on the ACR, including the 1:33 edition that set an unofficial lap record at Laguna Seca.

The ACR & ACR-X Viper has lapped the Nurburgring Nordschliefe in 7:12 and 7:03, respectively, beating cars that cost 10X as much.

2000-2006, Nissan Sentra (B15) SE-R Spec V

Body Style: 4-door sedan
Engine: 2.5 L QR25DE I4
Power Output: 175hp
Torque: 180 lb-ft
Weight: 1230kg
Transmission: 6 speed manual
Drivetrain: Front engine, front wheel drive
Additional Information:​

The Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V was the sport compact version of the Nissan Sentra. Its engine was the 2.5-liter QR25DE unit originally created for the Nissan Altima. The engine produced 175 hp (130 kW) at 6000 rpm and 180 lb·ft (244 N·m) of torque at 4000 rpm. It came standard with a six-speed RS6F51H manual transmission and a helical Torsen limited slip differential.

The car's handling was aided with the factory-tuning of the car's suspension and the addition of low-profile 17-inch wheels. A front strut tower brace, extra-firm springs, revised shock damping, firmer front polyurethane bushings, dual-tip muffler, plus front and rear stabilizer bars were also standard. Standard brakes were vented discs for the front brakes and solid discs at the rear, or optional Brembo brakes for the 2004 to 2006 year models. A four-wheel anti-lock braking system was also optional on non-Brembo models, which was packaged with front-seat side-impact air bags.

This model also came with a standard race-inspired sporty interior, such as Nissan Skyline inspired seats and a thick leather-wrapped steering wheel. Other optional features at the time included a Rockford Fosgate 300-watt nine-speaker audio system (with an 8-inch (200 mm) subwoofer in the trunk), six-disc autochanger, and a power sunroof. Other equipment include sportier-looking headlights with black surrounding the silver reflectors, standard fog-lights, lower-body sill extensions and a rear spoiler.

Initially, for 2002 and 2003, the SE-R Spec V (along with the SE-R) was given an aggressive front fascia (styled after the Skyline GT-R) with side still extensions and rear trunk-mounted spoiler. Originally, speculation arose surrounding the Spec V designation being a play on the GT-R V-Spec Skyline name. This speculation has been proven to be true with the introduction of the R35 GT-R Spec V in North America. The Spec V designation is due to the fact that for some unknown legal reason Nissan cannot use the V-Spec title in the US market.

(Fun Fact: It's the car I recently purchased, my first car. I'm not even going to be mad if it ends up as "uncool" or "super uncool". I bought it with my own money that I worked hard for and that's all that matters to me personally.)

As much as I want to nominate the Fiat Multipla, people might think that such nomination would just be an attempt to try to send another car to hell.

I'm not really going to nominate the Multipla next.

1964-1965 Zeta Sports by Lightburn

Body Style: You would think it's a two door, but you'd be wrong. The doors were deleted to ensure strength.
Engine: IZF Sachs F.M.R. 500 498cc two cylinder, two-stroke engine
Power Output: 21hp.
Torque: Torque numbers were not given.
Weight: 400 of the kilograms
Transmission: 4 speed manual and reverse sequential gearbox in unit with the engine.
Drivetrain: The engine is also in the rear powering those tiny little rear wheels.
Additional Information: ​

Zeta is a marque of automobile which was produced in Australia from 1963 to 1965 by South Australian manufacturing company Lightburn and Co. An established manufacturer of cement mixers and washing machines, Lightburn and Co. built the cars in its factory in the Adelaide suburb of Camden Park. The first Zeta model was introduced in 1963 at a price of £595. Production ceased in 1965 with the last vehicles sold in 1966 and total sales of fewer than 400 vehicles. The two-seater Zeta Sports was introduced in 1964. Body styling was based on the Henry Meadows Sprint version of the Frisky microcar, designed by Gordon Bedson and Keith Peckmore, although Lightburn attributed the design to Michelotti. The fibreglass bodied car weighed 400 kilograms (882 lb) and ran on 10 inch wheels with all-round drum brakes. Like the Goggomobil Dart it lacked doors and bumper bars. 48 examples were produced, with only 6 remaining today.

2016 Ford Falcon XR6 Sprint (FG X)

Body Style: 4-door Sedan
Engine: Barra 325 4.0L turbocharged straight-six
Power Output: 436hp (496hp on overboost)
Torque: 424lb-ft (478lb-ft on overboost)
Weight: 1818kg
Transmission: 6-speed ZF automatic
Drivetrain: Front-engine, Rear-wheel-drive
Additional Information: With production of the Ford Falcon ending in 2016, Ford Australia sought to bring out "one last hurrah" for its XR6 and XR8 sports models, culminating in the revival of the Sprint badge last officially seen on the Tickford-tuned ED XR8 in the 90s.

While the XR6 Sprint is badged as a regular Ford Falcon, the car combines all of the best bits from Prodrive's former tuning arm Ford Performance Vehicles with some extra breathing to eke out more power from the FPV F6's turbocharged straight-six. Both Sprints feature the same chassis and suspension, borrowed from the handling pack R-Spec FPVs but stiffened and tuned to suit the new Pirelli P-Zero tyres.

Can we all take a moment to sit and admire the beautiful performance coming from this car? 500 horses, rear wheel drive and all for under $60k AUD? Yes please! And it's the last of the Falcons, the last of one of Australia's most iconic cars, and just look at it! It's a look that grows on you, and to me now it's such a beautiful car inside and out. Whilst I do prefer the look of the FG, the FGX is still a gorgeous car. Sub Zero for me.

2002-2005 Porsche (996) 911 GT2

Body Style: 2 door coupe
Engine: 3,600cc water-cooled twin-turbocharged H6
Power Output: 476 hp
Torque: 470 lb-ft
Weight: 1,430 kg
Transmission: 6-speed manual
Drivetrain: Rear engine, Rear wheel drive.
Additional Information:
The Porsche 911 GT2 tops out at 315 kilometers per hour, according to Porsche-196 mph, and more to the point, a shade faster than the 911 Turbo, which is all through at 192 mph. But there's a distinction that's obviously academic. The real difference between the two Porsche missiles lies in the sensations the GT2 generates en route to these celestial velocities, and in its behavior on demanding mountain roads. With more power spooling out of its twin-turbo 3.6-liter flat-six, and less weight-about 220 pounds-to propel, the GT2 is quicker than its more civilized cousin. According to the factory estimates, it should do 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.1 seconds, 0 to 100 mph (160 km/h) in 8.5, and 0 to 124 mph (200 km/h) in 12.9. (Source: Caranddriver)

Never act like your nomination is a joke, or people will vote against your desired result. That's the reason the Ford Focus FR200 nominated by Harsk made it so low when it really wasn't that bad, because he took his nomination seriously

[Wiegert]

From the responses I received in the results thread, I've taken the decision to block all non-production car nominations from this point. Even if they're based on an existing drivetrain. No more concepts, please.

Is it because specs can be hard to find?

In part. But as with race cars, there are people either unwilling to vote on concepts that can never be available to the public or not yet available, or go down the SUBCC route since coolness can't be determined alongside production vehicles that are more than just fantasy given form as an exercise in design or technology.

It's also true that my job will be all the more easy without having to do background checks on each concept to find conclusive evidence of driveability or specification. I've had to reject more than one 100% rendered vaporware nomination since last September even when the rules in the OP were clear as day.
