1996 Saloon Shootout - {RESULTS}

[koolkei]

well let's just see just how 'eco' is a V6 or a assumed 4.1l engine really is

[nialloftara]

Roughly comparable to real life midsized v6 equipped car of the era. This was a fun challenge and the voyager will definitely become a centauri staple in the future.

[Sebesseg]

Well this is a bit awkward, my own car has similar market scores and a 4.1L V6 as well. I was even going to use the same body, but decided it didn't fit with the design choices I'm trying to stick to in regards to my company. So at least that will be different haha. Hopefully will be able to show mine off within the next couple of days, I'm still not set on the styling.

[EnryGT5]

My car gets slightly lower scores, but i use a 2.0 liter inline 4, with VTEC, YO! And a smaller body.

[koolkei]

^well another awkward situation.

2.1l i4 with the smaller body. but.... 27% efficiency engine with only SOHC at year 1996

OP Updated with a new picture!

[Madrias]

I like it! That's such a cool way to show off the cars, Titleguy!

For the record, here is the Storm Captain, in GL trim.

I'll admit, it's probably not the most fuel efficient car here, and it's not the prettiest one in the lineup, but she'll still surprise you. I hope.

It started out a lot more wild than this version, though. I decided that the, well... I decided that it wasn't exactly in my best interests to put the 4.6 twin turbo in there. What it has is significantly less frightening.

And yes, I did go out of my way to use the popup-headlight vent to make fuel-filler doors on my car, and yes, it would have a filler nozzle and gas cap on both sides of the car. Best way to deal with the "I don't know which side of the car my gas door is on" problem.

[AirJordan]

So no cat and mufflers needed?

[titleguy1]

Technically, no. However, if you want a good score, you'll need it, as engine noise is a factor of your comfort and other things.

[nialloftara]

Madrias I love the back and side of that car, well done very sporty looking.

[Madrias]

Was trying to go for a mix of business and sporty at the same time. By the sound of that, I got it right.

Here is the Mutsuma - U03Z from my not quite done yet Japanese Corporation

I have to say that this was surprisingly fun competition and look forward to the results.

[titleguy1]

Your car is dangerously similar to the one I designed as a benchmark. By the way, don't base your cars off of mine! Just something I made.

[ArnRno]

I swear to God, I wasn't trying to make a fat 3-series.
Meilleur Bonne Chance - This is the Mk. II, then - before the facelift, it wasn't as BMW-y.

Might have priced this one out of competition, though.

Here are some more photos of the Mercusa Duchess 2.3 AX (the black car in the back of the main page shot, which I hope isn't symbolic of its capability).
