Exploration vehicle challenge (RESULTS ARE IN!!)
While our first car, the Scatola (viewtopic.php?f=39&t=8864&start=20#p91754), received mixed feedback, it set a new trend for sporty yet economic crossovers. While the lead designers were working on refining the concept in order to make it successful on the market, the chairman was approached by an old study friend from Abu Dhabi: His wife was getting another kid and was complaining that the luxury sports coupe was getting too small for school runs. so the chairman requested that a bigger SUV had to be developed that was actually able to withstand the harsh environment in the desert. Based on the Scatola engine, the engineers developed the following car that would also perfectly match the requirements of this current tender for some Exploration vehicles. However, the chairman had a quick look at it and dismissed it: It doesn't look like a proper offroad, it doesn't sound like one, and by the time you need to get up freaking early to get your kids to school in time. Our company will not build this thing. Build me a car that produces at least 500 Nm tourque and scores 75 on offroad abilities! So off he went to build a real offroader...

I already submitted mine, otherwise I would be too. I doubt my insane off-road capability will save it.

Well, if the explorer scientists don't want to buy my off-road-buses, I can still sell them to the army :I

I'd like to point out that stensen's car is a death trap and will not make it for that reason alone!
Re: Exploration vehicle challenge (now open!)
as already said. the chairman denied producing this car. it only exists as a concept. in the end, getting the torque i intended didnt work out, but at least i can now proudly submit a real offroader

Re: Exploration vehicle challenge (now open!)
Still, for being one of your first cars, it is quite impressive! Other than safety, it rivals my car in almost all the specs.
(F.Y.I, probably not smart to reveal the stats of your car until the competition is closed, otherwise it makes it incredibly easy to commit corporate espionage and make a car based on your stats, but that can score better with the points system.)
LOL my thoughts exactly, I pretty much designed my car with Military use in mind. It shares a lot of the base components of the HMMVW.

thanks. but well, it is one of my first cars that i posted here
i don't take part here only to win. and while playing around for this challenge i quite quickly came to the conclusion that the scoring is a little unbalanced. even though the emissions/economics requirement is reasonable, the weight on these is too much. have a minimum requirement for offroad and/or torque, have a specific maximum emission level as a requirement or whatever. have the challenge to make an efficient offroader and not to make an efficient van somewhat offroad capable
edit: and here it is. sales price 19998. and not a death trap!
Re: Exploration vehicle challenge (now open!)
Question: There's a drop-down (that I presume will eventually be used for factory size) on the "Detail Stats" tab on the final trim page. This has a fairly dramatic effect on the price of the car on the Markets tab ($3000 between the highest and lowest settings). Any particular preference as to what this should be set on?
