Camoria Mark-J

Image


Design:

Front Fascia:
The front of the car features an array of classic Camoria design. For example, the Signature Grille does make an appearance to support the headlamps. The AM Grille also makes an appearance at the bottom.
Image

Side Detailing:
Both of the square wheel flares feature a jagged vent design. How 80s!
Image

Rear Fascia:
The rear of the car continues with styling very popular of the 1980s. The taillights have little vents in-between them to add extra detailing.
Image



Engine:
The AM-88, provided by Smolensk

Any particular reason the engine has a lower power output and MTBF in your game? Mine shows 233hp and 49.6 MTBF.

Re: Camoria Automotive: The Best Isn't Good Enough

Oh right, the compliments ;) .

I find it amazing how you can carry over a number of design elements throughout decades, and incorporate them into time-appropriate designs.

Re: Camoria Automotive: The Best Isn't Good Enough

Haha, thank you! Of course, they do not always have to be compliments. I genuinely do not know why the engine changed values like that. I thought originally it was because the body was an '84 whereas the engine was an '88, but after bringing the car up to '88, the engine did not change. I'm not very concerned, as the engine works well besides this glitch. We hope anyone else viewing this will see the obvious glitch and look past that. We really appreciate the Smolensk team contributing to our company.

Re: Camoria Automotive: The Best Isn't Good Enough

I too appreciate the common design elements. Also you have a developed back story which is pretty cool.

As for the engine, could it be because there is insufficient cooling?

Re: Camoria Automotive: The Best Isn't Good Enough

We're not talking about the engine in the car. The engine itself is glitched.

The Best Isn't Good Enough

Just what does our slogan mean?

We feel there has been some disagreement on this forum about what we mean when we say "The Best Isn't Good Enough." It may seem satisfactory to draw the line between slogan and company, suggesting that our cars will always be the ones that will stand above the rest always. That comparison is all too simple, and our founder, Babs Camoria saw far beyond that.


You make Camoria better than the best


Camoria cars are specifically designed to be the most malleable cars possible. We set the bar for you to exceed. Camoria is all about the buyer. We may produce a few wild cars, but our main intention is to create a feeling of personality in our cars. When was the last time a car company made a car you could really role up your sleeves and work on? All of these on-board computers and electrical engineering may work for the functionality, but where's the personality? Our Camorian Crusaders are the ones who make our motto what it is. So, when you want to write about how our engines are not optimal, think about what that means to the buyer. We made them a car that works perfectly for their needs, but they have the opportunity, nay the privilege, to make their cars their own.

Your kind words and sincerity are truly unmet by only a select few. Normally, one must go to an alleyway to find people of your virtue.

To be useful, you could have blended it better. It looks like it was just CopyPasted in. OMG wait, but was that intentional?

Camoria Mark-I

Image

Design:

Front Fascia:
Incorporating both the Horus Headlamps and the AM-Grille, the front of this proves that practicality can be exciting. The wide grille resembles that of an upmarket sports car. Seldom can one find an exciting cheap car. Camoria Automotive is time and time again bold enough to take that step.
Image

Wheel Arch Flares:
Expanding on our exciting but practical design, we flared the wheel arches our a sizable amount. This gives the car a very sporty stance. This also leaves room for much wider tires, which add a great deal to the breaking power and grip of the car.
Image

Rear Fascia:
Inspired by the upmarket Spirit of Philadelphia, the Mark-I features the Impact Taillight design. The brim of the vent takes from the flares of the wheel arches, and adds a tangibility to the headlamps that have been lost on recent cars. The brand feels that the taillight is arguably the most significant part of the design process. During the 40s, 50s, and even the early 60s, taillights were separate entities from the car. They popped out of them in the famous fin designs that rocked the 1950s. As cars became sleeker in design, the taillights began to mesh with the bodywork. This satisfies some for a design, but it removes all personality. A car is all about the senses; what you see; what you hear; what you feel. Camoria wants to recreate the tangibility of old taillights by adding that thick brim around the taillights.

Re: Camoria Automotive: The Best Isn't Good Enough

I don't think that engine screenshot is right. It's from older build and HP doesn't match up with what's in car.

I'm curious why you went with RWD instead of FWD or AWD?

Re: Camoria Automotive: The Best Isn't Good Enough

FWD sucks and AWD is currently kinda bugged, that means we can't put an engine into some bodyshells when using AWD, such as this one.

Re: Camoria Automotive: The Best Isn't Good Enough

Also, a people carrier with rwd is quirky, counterintuitive, and therefore more exciting :P
