Kard Motor Works - The Legacy of Performance

It does allow a transverse AWD setup. It just does not allow AWD with torsion beam suspension.

Woops, lol. Oh well, at least the longitudinal engine still worked out better.

This car is all about sporty efficiency. It's not the most powerful, fastest, or best handling car we have ever made, but it is the most efficient, sporting 35 MPG from a naturally aspirated 3.0L inline-6. This is actually the first vehicle I've been able to meet all my design goals in, even if only just.

For the engine, I wanted an inline 6 that has an efficiency of at least 30%, low emissions and more HP than the 2.8L I4 used in the 328sx and 828x. It also had to rev over 6000 RPM.

For the car I wanted cornering of at least 0.90g, economy of 35 MPG and a top speed over 150 MPH. Of course it goes without saying it had to be RWD as well.

In a quest to release the ultimate sleeper car, the research and development team has created the most powerful production car ever released by KMW, the 358! The body and chassis of this car is almost identical to the 325s.The suspension has been upgraded, and it has different tires, but other than that the only way to tell the difference between this and a normal 325s is the unique lava colored paint.

The heart of this beast is a lightweight naturally aspirated 5.8L flatplane V8 producing 642HP at 6400 RPM!! The engine is similar to the one found in the 758i, but it uses much lighter weight materials, and produces a bit more horsepower.

All this adds up to produce a car with a 0-62 acceleration time of 4.5 seconds, a quarter mile time of 11.8 seconds and a top speed over 200 MPH, from a car shaped like a brick!

KMW saw a need for a sporty family hatchback in the market, and decided to fill that need! The Kard 230 is an evolution of the 1-series for the young family on the go. This car is powered by the same 3.0L inline-6 found in the 530s efficiency coupe, so not only is it quick, but great on fuel mileage as well! This car is designed to dart from 0-62 in only 5.7 seconds, with a top speed of 161 miles an hour, and get a fuel efficiency rating of up to nearly 32 MPG! Now you can have your cake, and eat it took.

This is the new evolution of the KMW 6-series! This sedan is powered by a 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 producing 369HP! This pushes the nearly 3600ib car from 0-62 in a matter of only 6.6 seconds, and onwards to a top speed of 177! The luxury options of this car keep it from being one of the fastest cars in the KMW stable, but it will still get you where you're going faster than the majority of other vehicles on the road.

How on earth did you get/make a wagon?

Buy the game, then you get a wagon.

Quoted for truth.

Along with a ton of other great options you get with the regular updates that come with buying the game.

Either your computer or your internet is very slow, or maybe you have a virus. Really, there could be countless reasons for what you're experiencing. This isn't the best place to troubleshoot it though, I'd ask over at http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/.

This car was designed to compete in the Roadster/Coupe competition here. In the process I decided to design the E-31 platform for the new 3-Series car. The engine is a 3.6L Inline-4 that will likely never enter production for consumer cars, but produces 362HP at 6900 RPM with a redline of 7000. Apparently this build of the game has a bug that allows for unrealistic grip due to insane roll on the chassis, something I didn't previously notice, so I will be re-doing another car for production, and possibly as an entry in the competition.

The time has come... the time to redesign the 8-series! The original 8-series was a bit homely, but got the job done. In this version, the goal was to update the styling to be much sportier, like the rest of the KMW family of automobiles, and it was a success!

In addition to creating a sportier body style, a new 5.0L flatplane V8 was designed to power this flagship with 469 HP, producing a 0-62 time of 4.2 seconds, and a top speed of 172.6 MPH! This is achieved through an advanced AWD system to amplify performance and safety in inclement situations. This car is for the man who demands no compromise in either the performance of his vehicle, or the safety of those inside it.

This is the production model of the new KMW 3-series!

This is the first production model of the new Kard 3-Series! The KMW 320t is the most powerful prodution 4 cylinder ever made, and the first production turbo engine. This 2.0L I4 produces 314 HP, and a fuel mileage rating of 34.6 MPG!!!

So not only is this car fast, but it's also incredibly economical! With a top speed of almost 166 MPH, and a 0-62 time of 5.1 seconds, your friends won't believe their eyes.

Today marks another new start for KMW! With the release of beta build 1353, all previous models and chassis are officially incompatible with the game, and all models from here on out, though they may bare some semblance to previous models in some cases, will be built from scratch.

My new release resolution is to use appropriate tech years when developing my cars. No more modern day engine technology in a 30 year old body design.

Let the new era reign!

Since this car is supposed to be built in 1949, that's where the tech level was set. Don't think that just because it's an old car it can't be a performer though. The 3.0L flatplane V8 powering it produces 250 HP, and propels the car from 0-62 in a matter of 6.45 seconds, with a top speed of nearly 140 MPH! In addition to blistering performance, this car gets an astonishing 18.5 MPG... not bad for a 65 year old car!

For testing of this car I used both stock tracks. The time for the Automation Test Track was 2:39.96. Fro here on out, I will be using the Airfield Track as my standard benchmark for all my cars due to its much shorter runtime and famous background. My Airfield track time was 1:34.25.

[EDIT] I initially mis-named this car, it should be a 4-series.
