2016 Geneva International Auto Show

And here I am designing a Flug Stolz for 1978 with a mighty 80hp 2.7 12 valve...

I've thought about making an economy brand too though! But yeah, my point was just that you don't always get what you expect with such and such numbers written down.
Efficiency is a funny thing and it takes a lot of trial and error to find those 'sweet spots'. And that way it's the same for all cars, not only for psychotic hypercars

[Awildgermanappears]

Speaking of hypercar performance efficiency.

I can tell you that Patriot engineers were amazed at their recent Bonneville tests. Testing a one-off quad-cam 32V version of their Super Stomper 572 V8, they were able to clock 291 mph (468 kph).

But that was not the amazing thing. Amazing was that acceleration did not improve ONE BIT with 350 hp added over the "stock" engine. So to anyone thinking that pushrod engines are
dead and gone, Patriot sought improvements by means of multivalve technology - but found none . It seems that efficiency comes in many forms.

Isn't traction a great thing.

[TurboJ]

It's not just that - traction effects are expected ofc. But the thing is with even more power, the transmission gets heavier and so much more cooling is needed etc.
Bottom line: in my case the car got so much heavier and gained so much drag that it was actually SLOWER on quarter mile and 1 km acceleration tests even though 0-62 mph it was as quick.
So I'm talking more about efficiency than about traction.

[strop]

Yeah, I figured. The whole car seems to be based on "big numbers to wow the crowd", but in all honesty that makes it seriously overweight and frankly overkill. You can achieve better results if you scale the lunacy down

Sometimes I feel a bit mystified that I'm backing off from the whole original GG makes the most powerful fastest cars etc. etc.

Then I remember the fuel consumption of these kinds of engines is like 60L/100km, then I remember it gets really old pulling into the petrol station every hour

But seriously showing that it can be done, cool stuff. I'm just sad that the ultra power and performance is getting even further nerfed in the coming updates.

And who said quaint little saloons with economical engines are bad?

[andodide]

Sorry guys for the late reveal, but here it is...

It's my first time doing that sort of stuff but I've done my best.

[DeusExMackia]

Well the Vanish certainly has a great name!

[TurboJ]

TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT....



We finally present our main attraction, the 2016 J.S.C Portofino.








And here's our show car finished in "Bordeaux Reale"









On sale as of tonight. Form an orderly que please!

[Noporian]

^^^^^^

Holy hell.

[Vri404]

Stripy. An order was placed by some GAG members of staff...

Using GAG funds...

[TurboJ]

Glad you like it! Some things can only be done with stripes currently and it's hardly the perfect way, but I got the styling *approximately* where I wanted to.
More advanced morphing options would be welcome, but I'm still having a real blast with Automation!

[andodide]

Another reveal coming tonight... Plus the specs of the mighty Styrka Vanish

[andodide]

^^^^^^^
That up there is a line-ish car. But I quite like it.

The current head director of Redhawk Performance Group was seen checking out the cars all week at Geneva. His quiet presence was only known by his stylish red hair with black accents. He was last seen looking at the J.S.C Portofino. He appeared to be filling out an order form. If the head director of RPG goes so far as to order a car, you know it's something special.

Thanks for the attention and positive feedback! We hope the car fulfills your expectations. Expect delivery in early June. Your special colour choice had our designers shaking hands in agreement!
