One car type I miss is the mid-engined sportscar, similar to Porsche 914 or some of Giugiaro's most famous designs. I have years of experience of modelling cars in 3D Studio Max and could make some if I had a guide on how to export car templates.

Thank you!

I already have a more or less complete Lotus Esprit S1 model from a WIP project. Shouldn't be too hard to model a similar car for Automation.

It is between 3k and 9k, if I remember correctly, it is said on the tutorial though.
