Blue Marlin Motori Auto & Žnoprešk Avtomobil

[NormanVauxhall]

The Z cars are old... i should really delete them.

[Noporian]

What body is the Z-Taxi based on? I really wanna know.

[NormanVauxhall]

It was the old sedan body. Now the morph changed.

[Noporian]

Aww...

[NormanVauxhall]

After the huge success of the Z5055, the famous designer Amedeo Iurlaro left Znopresk to open a private bodywork company for luxury cars.
It had a good success on the short and medium run but the company had financial trouble in the late '60s.

The newly formed ZM Automobili took over the company and one of the first products of the new fusion was a car based on the 1974 Zest/Zenith (http://automationhub.net/company-catalo ... rmodel/374) that keeps the chassis, the FR layout and the MacPherson + Semi trailing arms suspension scheme in order to be built in the same factory in Triest.

IURLARO CRESEZIA 2.0i (MY 1976)
Due the higher tax for above 2 liters engine in Italy, the car was fitted with a "lazy" 2 liter 6 inline cylinder engine with mechanical injection smoother than silk.




Pure comfort on wheels for a reasonable price, it doesn't betray the Znopresk philosophy to give you the best. Always.

Here the final version of the logos of BMMA (the ex-BMMS, now MMM and BMMA) and Znopresk.

[SeriousSimon]

Those are fancy logos, I like them! (My personal taste enjoys the old Marlin logo more though )

Žnoprešk Zeus

Everybody deserve a supercar. Even Žnoprešk.


A great value for money supercar.

I have to say, this is one of the most rounded cars ever created - good stats at a low price! What are the rest of the stats like and what would you sell it for?

[NormanVauxhall]

Thanks, that was one of the objective in my point of view. I saw here around tons and tons of supercars with HUGE production costs and I thought "How hard can it be?" so I've started Automation and worked over the concept.

The styling is maybe too simple, but I'm happy with the performance achieved.

I can tell you that the car can complete a lap on the Airfiled track in less than 1:19.00.
I will release more stats tonight once I'm at home and I can take some screenshot

[NormanVauxhall]

This are the engine stats

This the general performace of the car on the road

So... this is the famous competitor that Strop was talking about here (viewtopic.php?f=35&t=4022&start=120#p68233)

ZNOPRESK ZEST 1.6 SALA

This is the comfy trim of the Znopresk Zest, featuring a robotized gearbox and a better entertainment system compared to the base 1.4 EL version.

It's 1975 and MMM is slowly moving to became BMMA into the ZM group.

The ZEUS, steam edition!





It lost some power, but it's cheaper and sportier and comfy too! \o/

You're very good at getting detail into your car designs, Norman. You have a knack for making “greebles” that actually work with the car and don't just look like they're tacked on as an afterthought. I personally use more simplicity in my car designs, but that's in part simply due to me still being new to Automation. I'm still learning how to use all the pieces in conjunction with one another to get a unique look. You definitely provide plenty of inspiration! Cheers
