OK, let's undig this one, because I've got a new design for ya.
The Cossack brand is mostly known for boring, extremely cheapboxes with no power at all (alternatively, sporty ubercheap chav-mobiles with enough power not to embarass you in front of your friends). They've started using Transverse FWD in late 60s already, because "it's so cheap". But, the Cossack company is full of contrasts. When they want to go badass, they do. They take those boring FWD platforms and transform them into hottest boxes humanity has ever seen, while still being cheap, all under the brand of Cossack Tuning Experts, CTE in short. One of the earliest examples of a CTE is 1981 Cossack 2200 CTE (will probably be CTE 2200 in actual game, as I'll make CTE a separate brand). Based on their main line of boring ecoboxes, it's the hottest hot hatch of the 80's. It features a 2.2 Twin Turbo V8 (I6 could not fit in) squished into the transverse engine bay, generating 220 hp, powering front wheels, which is pure awesomeness, or madness, depending on how you call it. Interior has almost only the basic necessities (we at Cossack say it's to save weight (and money), even though its engine is fully cast iron), but truth to be told, normal Cossacks have almost only the basic necessities as well. The 0-100 acceleration is 7 seconds (game gives 6 seconds, but it assumes modern tires and drivetrain), very good for its time, even if you don't take it being FWD into account (the first real world FWD car to break 7 seconds barrier is the Corrado, introduced seven years later).
Also, top speed given by game is 225 km/h, but it'll be less considering more lossy drivetrain. Still should break the 200 km/h barrier. Due to that, I can't give an accurate 0-200 time, even though game gives 24.90 s.
