1996 WABHUBAC [FINI]
Because of this we have decided to run a Competition in order to find a contractor that can take care of the design and production process. We will send every applicant one of the pre-production Ramjets in our warehouses, because a) we can finally get rid of them and b) so the applicants can take them apart, study its design, capture the essence of it and build a prototype of their design on the rolling chassis.
What we are looking for:
We'd like to keep a family resemblance between the cars, your prototype must be instantly recognizeable as a member of the Ramjet family (aka inspired by Aviation), but also embrace the fact that it was the result of a cooperation between your company and our company.
If you want to shorten the chassis for the design, we have no problem with that. But please don't modify the engine and gearbox, yes? Our current reliability record is very good and we want to keep it that way. The End Product should also be affordable to make.
A good name is key to the wallet of the buyer.
Limitations:
-Tech year 1996
-2 door bodies only, no convertibles
-Must use corrosion resistant Steel Ladder Chassis, Panel material is open
-Double Wishbone suspension at the front, Semi trailing arm at the rear
-FR Drivetrain, 4-speed automatic transmission
-Must use a variant of this engine:
-The pre-production car you can use for studying our design language:
Send your prototypes to me via PM.
Naming scheme:
LaVache-[your company] (Model)
[whatever name you come up with] Prototype (Trim)
What we'll be judging:
Design, obviously, Our favourite design is going to be produced. But we'll also present all entries at an autoshow and do a voting on the crowd favourite.
We're american, handling is of secondary concern, comfort and straight line speed matter.
I probably didn't phrase that very well, but you can use any body you want as long as you can make it comply with the rules.
Deadline: Sunday, March 13
