Is that $40000 dollar value the price of the car before or after you adjust for inflation?
$13000 in the 50s is a hell of a lot of money today, and I can't even begin to imagine what $40000 would be.

automation has no inflation calcs yet if i remember correctly from the dev update they said it in, so it's all modern, so that 40K is 40K in today's money regardless what year it is in game

That's exactly it, everything is calculated to today. A luxury AM radio from the 50s would be very cheap to produce compared to a luxury infotainment system from the present, so things like that are the only reason old cars end up cheaper. Without the price adjustments with inflation, there's no way to compare to real cars or with in-game cars of later decades.

The 1958 Diamond Opal Gold (on page 2) is the car I'm referring to, and here are its market stats:

I was aiming for the luxury premium market, but the engine is a bit overpowered, though smaller than a lot of V8s of the time, so it's quite the hypercar as well...

1983 Solo Jetstream PM

Much like the original 1953 model, this one is also ahead of its time, with a streamlined design closer to concept cars of the time. The massive doors slide for easy access in tight parking spaces, and add to the futuristic design.

1967 Diamond Topaz Gold

The finest luxury convertible cruiser the world has ever seen! The specs and market values speak for themselves...

The 2008 Diamond Pallasite Gold brings ultra-luxury to the crossover market! Seats 6 in the finest of hand-made interiors and has enough chrome detailing to blind the drivers of lesser cars.

I like your cars, and I appreciate the effort you're putting in. I think you should try to make a V12 sports car, because I'm curious as to how you would style it.

I don't have much inspiration in the McLaren body beyond what I've already done, but I would definitely do something special with the Lamborghini body I'm making right now.

Want power? Want speed? Want extreme looks? Then look no further than the 2016 Solo Typhoon! With simple and aggressive styling, nobody will mistake this for grandma's station wagon.

Get yours today for only $519,400!

Monster. You have built a monster. I want to own one.

Love the body, got a question though:
What is it meant to do? For example, is it meant to go around tracks quickly, down drag strips etc.

Also, could you post some track times?

It's mostly for acceleration and top speed, isn't as great around the corners. If I remember correctly, it got 1:09 around the airfield track, and I haven't tested it on anything else.

Presenting the 1988 Solo Practic Concept! The future of the European MPV is here! Seating 5 and with a rear mounted 3.5L V6, this concept is not quite as practical as a production model would be, but it showcases budget comfort and sportiness for the MPV market with a sleek aerodynamic design of the future!

2016 Solo Stealth 8400: an uncomprimising track experience. Made entirely of carbon fibre and powered by an 8.4L V12 producing 1204 hp and 826 ft-lb paired to a 7-speed sequential transmission and AWD system. Comfort and safety went out the window in the name of sportiness, and the Green Hell track time is all that needs to be said. Only one car is produced every day in a small factory and retails for $1.2 million (with a 50%+ profit margin of course), so exclusivity is assured.

Front reminded me of the Shighera concept car from the late 90's.
