Minivan Homologation Special Challenge (Cancelled)

[Awildgermanappears]

can both versions use Hydropneumatic suspension?

I have a 400 hp 1450 Kg monster capable of 295 km/h (used the big mpv body)

No.
On that note, I might need to develop a BoP system for that body.

then how it's supposed to be?

because I use Hydro all all my luxury builds

Easy.
Build something that complies with the regulations.

wait.... im having difficulty differentiating wagons vs minivans.....

and minivans vs full sized vans....

To my knowledge there is only one true minivan body in the game (the one that becomes available in 1995), and that one has a fairly significant advantage over most of the other van-like bodies since it is a hell of a lot smaller and more aerodynamic.

if i shaped a wagon like a minivan, does it count as one?

[Awildgermanappears]

I have not thought of that possibility, but how does one shape a wagon like a minivan?

[koolkei]

simply stretch out the back. shape it more 'boxy'-like.

[AirJordan]

But the point of a minivan is higher centre of gravity...

[koolkei]

why? what do you mean by minivan=higher CoG?

isn't like all cars aim to lower their CoG as much as possible to reduce the possibility of rolling?

[AirJordan]

Yes yes but minivan is supposed to have higher seating (van like) and that's raising CoG. It's not like they are aming for higher CoG it just the way they are.
Simplified wagon is a sedan with an extra hatch while minivan is a hatchback with raised roof and seating. If you tell me where are you from I can give you an example from your market

There are several minivan bodies in this thread, the not Pontiac trans sport the not ford flex and the not scion xb are they allowed?http://www.automationgame.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=8552&hilit=Scion

[Awildgermanappears]

They are, although I still fear the Odyssey-esque Vanilla body is still OP in comparison.

The standard minivan's drag coefficient is something like 0.185, while the vehicles I made (especially the Flex and xB, but xB is much too small to be a minivan) have something more realistic. I believe I made the Trans Sport 0.2, as any body drag has to be lower than the real vehicle due to not having grills or anything to reduce drag. As far as what constitutes a minivan, maybe only bodies that have options for 7 or 8 passengers that aren't SUVs? Any minivan on the market only has those seating options, as those that only seat 6 might just be a "mini minivan" and anything above 8 is a full-sized van.

[Awildgermanappears]

I'd say anything with 6-8 seats qualifies as a minivan from a modern perspective, given that front bench seats are largely extinct outside of vans and trucks.
