Re: TheTom's car designs

8.0, but NA because it would be almost impossible (and ridiculously expensive) to adjust all the other stuff like suspension, brakes, tires, gearbox, transmission and so on to acutually handle the power well if i fitted a gigantic turbocharged V8 in it. And honestly, who would look at an 8.0 V8 that revs to 8500 RPM and makes around 1100hp and then say "hmm, i could do with a bit more..."?

Re: TheTom's car designs

Something new here, my first upperclass saloon (BMW 7-series, Mercedes S-class or even Bentley Continental as competitors)

Hope you enjoy, this will have 6.0 - 7.0 V8s which will be tuned down to produce a lot of torque but not much high-end power, and all that while being silent and comfortable

Re: TheTom's car designs

Sorry Rob, i like to design my cars myself...

I've just had an idea. Some of you might know that Top Gear took a Bentley on a rallye, so i went on and modded my upperclass saloon in a way that you can now also take it on a rallye :D

Re: TheTom's car designs

Here's a super coupe of mine. I decided to do a new one because everyone said that the first one (the yellow coupe i posted earlier in this thread) would look like an Evo / Impreza STI. And since i don't want to accidentally create cars that already exist, i decided i needed a new super coupe and here it is:

Image

Image

Image



You can have many different engines for that, starting from a 2.0 I6 NA to a 5.5L V8 TT. The reason i don't fit bigger engines in it is because i want to keep it light

Re: TheTom's car designs

Now since i only have one hatch in this thread and that was not really a great piece of design, i went on to create a new hot hatch:

Image

Image

Image



This will be a really small, superlight car with aroung 850kg and for that reason i'm gonna fit it with small turbocharged engines, a 1.0 I4T, a 1.2 I4T, a 1.4 I4T, a 1.6 I4T, a 1.8 I4T or a 2.0 I6T. These will provide nice power output while being quite reliable, cheap to run and very economical. But for mad people like Juno, i decided that the top-version of this will share a 3.0 I6T with the orange coupe, and that produces 450hp and 535Nm. :)

This is the old design.

Re: TheTom's car designs

Update: the last two cars (the orange coupe and the red hot hatch) will be the main cars i'll produce, i've even bothered giving them names. The coupe is called the Eagle, and i call the hatch Mantis. The biggest engine in the Eagle, as i mentioned, will be a 5.5 TT V8 and it's gonna produce 750hp, 1000+Nm, has an MTBF of over 65000km and runs on 95 octane fuel. Here's the engine file, i hope you enjoy :)

New cars coming soon!
Cheers,
TheTom

Re: TheTom's car designs

Brace yourselves, the Royal has arrived:

This will be an upperclass saloon for those who are getting tired of A8s, 7-series and S-classes. Engine-wise there will be a 6.0, a 6.5 and a 7.0 V8, all tuned to be torquey at low revs, all of them have 85000+ km MTBF, 100+ Nm/litre and under 300 g/kWh (i've already built them, they really make these outstanding numbers).

Edit: The new design for this car can be found on page 5.

Re: TheTom's car designs

let's move on with another sports coupe, a car that's only supposed to be good for fun, nothing more. I call it the Buzzard.

Image

Image

Image


This will be powered by a 3.5L I6T which revs to 7500RPM, makes 546hp and 606Nm. It also makes 383.6g/kWh and has an MTBF of over 66000km.

Re: TheTom's car designs

Update: i changed the Mantis a little bit. Replaced the headlights, increased the size of the upper grill a bit and made minor changes to the back end.

Image

Image

Image



this will be a competitor for the Alpha Romeo Mito. I don't count the VW Polo to its competitors cause it may be of similar size but not really comparable the a Mito or a Mantis in terms of design and emotion.

Re: TheTom's car designs

Yet another new sporty car, and i think this will be the new design for the Eagle. The old one looks nice but this is much better.
The coupe will look like this:

and the saloon will look like this:

Image

Let me know if you prefer this or the old Eagle design

Re: TheTom's car designs

I decided that the most powerful version of the Eagle would need its own name and its own modded design, so i called it Eagle HP (HP = high performance)

Image

Image

Image



i fiddled with the engine, too. It's still a 5.5L Twin-turbo V8, but now it makes 900hp. Here's the engine file:

Edit: i changed the look of the back end.
