The FSO Challenge
FSO, Skoda, Yugo and Lada all peddled their 1960's Fiat-based wares across the EEC throughout the 80's with varying degrees of success. Their big marketing point was their price, being much cheaper than similar-sized offerings from Ford or GM. The Lada Niva also had a reputation as a competent and robust off-roader.
So this is a challenge with a difference, rather than submit your entry to a host, just design your vehicle and post its photo and stats here for all to see and, hopefully, try to improve on. Here is my attempt at recreating one of the breed.
This is a benchmark, I don't think the bar is set too high [17.1 sec to 60MPH!]. The most important thing is low cost followed by utility & practicality. Sportiness is not required. Saloon, estate or offroad bodies only. Basically you need to make the cheapest car possible.
