It is time to present to you our first model, the Evgenis Nero. This is what we expect to be our best selling offering! The Nero rivals some of the best selling cars in the world such as the Ford Fiesta, and this is what we think should give it a run for its money. Although we won't be offering mega cheap version with a low powered engine and next to no equipment in order to get this car starting at a sub-£10k price tag unless there is input from customers wanting this, we will offer almost every single trim for every single engine available, so that way you can get the best engine without having to fork out a load for a top end trim full of what the customer believes would be unnecessary equipment.

So here it is, the Evgenis Nero!

ENGINES
The small car buyer buys a car like this for one of two reasons: either for lower running costs or for a small sporty runabout. Evgenis therefore has three economical engines available and one sporty one badged "S":

"P4C-1000I" - 1.0-litre 4-cylinder
    - Power: 71.4 bhp @ 6600 rpm (53.2 kW)
    - Torque: 68.6 lb-ft @ 3900 rpm (93 Nm)
    - Redline: 7000 rpm
"P4C-1200I" - 1.2-litre 4-cylinder
    - Power: 83.6 bhp @ 6600 rpm (62.3 kW)
    - Torque: 82.9 ft-lb @ 3900 rpm (112 Nm)
    - Redline: 7000 rpm
"P4C-1400I" - 1.4-litre 4-cylinder
    - Power: 99.4 bhp @ 6600 rpm (74.1 kW)
    - Torque: 95.8 ft-lb @ 3900 rpm (130 Nm)
    - Redline: 7000 rpm
"P4C-1600I(S)" - 1.6-litre 4-cylinder
    - Power: 125 bhp @ 7200 rpm (93 kW)
    - 113 ft-lb @ 4200 rpm (153 Nm)
    - Redline: 8000 rpm

As you can see, although the 1.0-litre, 1.2-litre and 1.4-litre are aimed more towards achieving good fuel economy figures they still manage to produce decent amounts of power and also a reasonbly large rev range. The 1.6-litre engine demonstrates its extra sportiness with a higher bhp-to-capacity figure and a wonderfully high redline of 8000 rpm.


TRIMS
The Evgenis Nero allows buyers to have either the basics or the latest in tech. The car has four trim levels:

Base - Available on all non-S engines
This simply covers the basics of what you expect in a small car from a slightly more upmarket brand. The interior materials are nothing special but pleasent to the eye and touch and the standard equipment has things such as air-conditioning, radio/CD player and other basic tech as well as multiple airbags and safety assists such as ABS, TCS and ESP

Modern - Available on all non-S engines
This adds some special touches to the base trim that make the car feel a touch more special and adds a rather decent load of equipment. A touch screen is added to control various things, as are Bluetooth, steering wheel functions. Other things such as cruise control are now part of standard equipment.

Executive - Available on 1.2-litre and 1.4-litre models
This adds some luxurious touches such as leather seats and nicer feeling yet lightweight materials to the cabin. The amount of things you find as standard equipment has been bumped to add more safety features including AEB and more airbags and more tech and other things in order to make your drive more pleasant such as climate control.

S - Available only on the 1.6-litre "S"
This trim is unique to the sporty 1.6 model and adds some sporty touches to the modern trim such as "S" badges and different colour materials.

    - 1.0 Base - £11,995 (€14,995)

Very nice design! It somewhat reminds me of a Tesla.

I like the front end, well done! But when i first saw the rear i thought it was from another car. It looks good but it doesn't have any of that sporty/aggressive presence of the front.

Simple but good taste. Very well done. I only dislike the chrome line at the back.

Thanks for the feedback, it is most appreciated! I have updated the photo of the rear end on the post. I wasn't that happy with it either and I have only made a few small changes, but hopefully now it matches the aggressive front end a bit better. (ignore badge difference, the front one is wrong)

Thanks! More on its way! :)

Those engines don't hold the most promising figures...

Given the fuel economy figures, I think they're ok, but we can't really be sure as no ingame details have been posted.

I can possibly see where you are coming from with this and it is all really market dependant. This car and most of the cars the company will make will be solely intended to be sold in the European market. In order to explain this take the example of the Ford Fiesta. The only difference between the Fiesta in Europe and the Fiesta in North America is that in North America you can get it as a sedan too whereas in Europe the sedan is not available. The Fiesta in North America is only available with a 1.6-litre engine producing either 120 bhp in the base/normal versions of the car and 197 bhp in the ST version. In Europe there is a wide range of engines from the low powered 1.25-litre 60 bhp engine all the way up to the 125 bhp 1.0-lite 3-cylinder ECOboost engine in normal version and then the same turbocharged engine from the NA version of the Fiesta ST for the European one but with a bit less power. In Europe the majority of Fiestas sold are either the 75 bhp diesel or the 82 bhp petrol, which would never sell in North America.

Hopefully this clarifies things for you :)

I was referring more to the fact that the max power RPM is much lower than the engine's redline on all your motors. Wouldn't you have a serious drop in power at max RPM?

Its only several hundred more. Besides, isn't the point of having a red line past peak power is so that the power produced on the way down is matched when you shift up, but this time on the rising part of the power curve?

If you have max rpm too low, there will be a drop in engine power when shifting, whereas if the shift point is moved into a higher rpm, power would be the same or only slightly lower. Higher RPM also means the engine can hold a lower gear for longer, helping acceleration.

You probably know more than me on this sort of stuff, so yeah, I was just curious. I play this game to learn new things :D

Nope. Between max power and the redline of the smaller engines there is about 400 rpm and there is a 2-3% drop. On the sport engine where max power is at 7200 rpm there is a minute, almost unnoticeable drop to 8000 rpm. The power curve is literally flat from 7200 to 7900 rpm.

Flat torque good, therefore flat power is bad. If you have flat power, acceleration is constant, whereas increasing power means increasing acceleration. Decreasing power means you will feel the seat pushing into you less and less as you accelerate.
