I havent been around in the 60's but judging by James May's cars of the people program, it's a solid runner against the trabants and wartburgs. Probably not as good as a beetle, and definetly will find a good home somewhere in less developed countries where rugged reliability is key.

P.S: A restomodder would slap a turbo on that 6:1 CR with such ease and will blow the doors off any old school legend it's ridiculous.

Re: how about some "open Source" cars? (explanation in threa

the AlpenStrasse, one of many 3rd party modified trims of the communitasia, which was, well, known as a cheap but awful car, while the ability to run on goat urine whilst being cheap made it appealing to certain markets at the time, in most of the world though, it was unsellable, but then 3rd parties started to come along and offer up mods to make the car much less awful. one of the most well known mod trims was the AlpenStrasse done by, at the time, a small garage known as Kraft Haus Technik which is today an independent manufacturer of automobiles. and today we will be honoring their efforts in improving the communitasia's sale with their AlpenStrasse. since the car is now 20 years old, you can imagine quite a few developments in technology came along since then, with one of the most power increasing mods being the turbocharger. since the original engine was designed to run at super low octane, it was very simple to just use regular unleaded and get more than 10 octane added to the engine, which gave us plenty of wiggle room for the turbo. we did keep things very simple in the engine department by having the only thing custom manufactured was the turbo, everything else we left alone besides fuel and ignition timing, which for being such an old car, were easily adjustable with just a screwdriver. to handle the larger power output a slightly larger exhaust was installed, and to help meet regulations a three way cat has also been added on.
exterior wise the car was perfectly beautiful already, it was hard to decide what to do, we eventually decided on keeping the 1960's style with adding 1980's influence by removing all the circular lights and replacing them all with modern looking rectangular lights. other than that we haven't really changed all that much on the exterior, but it's almost enough to make it look like another car. so now i resent to you, the AlpenStrasse brought into the 80's:

Re: how about some "open Source" cars? (explanation in threa

Okay guys, pimp my ride. this is a early prototype of the banshee from 1995, it's rear engine rear wheel drive with a 553hp NA v8. Clears green hell in 7:57 and the airfield in 1:17 on sports tires while still getting 21mpg us, and it only costs $46500 at 50% profit so this is way cheaper then the Lamborghinis or Ferraris of the time. it uses this body https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... =564345896

Re: how about some "open Source" cars? (explanation in threa

to bring this thread back to life i'm open sourcing my entire hatchi lineup, they are far from the best vehicles i ever made (which are currently my G series trucks) and generally do look tacky, but it's a good early 80's commuter vehicle with many variants, so many i won't be showing photos, too lazy to take all of 'em

Re: how about some "open Source" cars? (explanation in threa

This thread is missing something...

It doesn't have enough... me.

As such, I present the 1989 Normandy Shadow. A rear wheel drive, two sport sports coupe. The essence of which would later become the the Echo. It's got pop-up headlights, an unnecessary and, lets face it, gaudy wing, and with the right tuning, can achieve a 0.0% wheel spin rating.

Re: how about some "open Source" cars? (explanation in threa

well, i decided to make a car for here anyways, it has the engineering of the G-series, but the design of a Chinese ManHell knockoff (an improvement, i guess). so anyways, the very first car i posted to the forums was a 1985 land Roamer, the days of that thing are now looooooong gone. so here, i now present the 2002 Galt Land Roamer. built fully from steel to ensure durability, with the 4.6L V6 getting the huge steel behemoth a respectable 20 MPG along with an ok top speed. i mean, this thing ain't breaking any records, personally one of the better vehicles i have made, but still feels... yeah...

Re: how about some "open Source" cars? (explanation in threa

I'd like to post more cars, but frankly I'm running out of ideas for cars which I can write a funny blurb about. As such, I'm willing to take general requests, if anyone is so inclined.
