Re: The Grand Tourer: 1971 Accepting Entries to the 21st

Emissions inf. is because you're using leaded petrol, which means you can't use a catalytic converter either. The emissions from leaded petrol is well, different, and I suppose in simple terms, "stupid high".

Certainly I was inspired by the likes of the Lambo Miura for this challenge, and, like Zab's Hypercar challenge, I'll be making something that goes stupid fast but also pretty much maxes out the competitiveness score. It might even look pretty good this time around too, lol.

p.s. submitted! Quite pleased with this one. Engine size limitations did kind of reduce my power quite a bit, so it's not as fast (top speed) as a Miura, but it'll certain go around the track with speed and style. And it has a fairly ridiculous market score, too.

Entry submitted. An American(ized) GT? Hogwash! Americans can't compete with the Euro GTs!! (they're probably right, at least concerning mine)

I present you, the Ponni P570 GT. My goal's to compete in the cheapest section of the Premium GT market. It's by no means a super luxurious car, but I'm sure it can keep up with the other, more expensive vehicles.

Re: The Grand Tourer: 1971 Accepting Entries to the 21st

I'm interested to see how my car will do. I went big ol' American land barge and dropped an absolutely immense V12 in there, tuned it as lean as possible to hit the MPG requirement, and then just added gobs of luxury and quality sliders and such until my GT-P score was as green as freshly watered grass on a bright spring day.

Re: The Grand Tourer: 1971 Accepting Entries to the 21st

I am entering!
The Rado L-50 was b orn out of the company executive John Jake (now 50 years old) realizing the Rado L is out of taste for modern luxury buyers, at least ones wanting a coupe.
The L-50 was not meant to completely replace the 40s sedan, but to contemplate it (many in the company wanted the former)

They designed a coupe within 2 weeks, and begun building the first prototype.
The engine was essentially a variant of the one found in the Rado L, and the chassis too, but the suspension and the interior were from the ground up.
Quick, Quick, Quick! went the employees, as the project was finished in mere months. The result: A Ladder body slushbox 8-track inline-6 2-door luxury coupe.


Need I say more?
