Smolensk Tuning

Well, in my opinion, the word supercar is used waaaay too much. Audi R8 V10- Not a supercar. Ferrari 458- Not a supercar, Mercedes SLS- Not a supercar. To meet my criteria of being a supercar, it must go 0-60 in below 3.2 seconds, and reach at least 200mph. We are living in a world where the 75k C6 Z06 is faster than the 250k 458.

sounds more like "hyper car" then "super car"

[Jakgoe]

I know, but the conditions that a supercar fulfills to be a supercar must constantly evolve. Supercars are the fastest road legal cars in the world. "Hypercar" is just a term for the next generation of supercars. We cannot keep making up new terms for the highest-performance automobiles. If we keep doing this, the 2034 McLaren Z1 will be a mega-ultra-super-giga-car.

alright but by your definition, not even the McLaren F1 or the Ferrari Enzo would be supercars. Tell that to any motoring enthusiast and they'll ask you if you're mad.

[Jakgoe]

Yes, they are supercars, but not modern supercars. The Ferrari 288 GTO is a supercar, but not a modern one. In my opinion, there are some exceptions to to 200mph/3.2sec rule.

Here is Smolensk's version of the DQE Puma, the Puma Smolensk. It is powered by a 445hp turbocharged I6, the first I6 built exclusively by Smolensk. Positioned in the model lineup between the I6 Puma and the Puma HP, the DQE Puma Smolensk is sure to be a hit.

so the only RWD supercars i can think of are the McLaren MP4-12 as well as the McLaren P1, the Ferrari F12 and upcoming LaFerrari. Oh, and the Pagani Huayra. The Noble M600 wouldn't be a supercar in your definition because it does 0-60 in 3.4 secs. I honestly can't imagine a world in which a Ferrari 458 isn't a supercar. Or a Pagani Zonda. Or a Lamborghini Gallardo.

Noble M600- 0-60 in 3.2 sec and 225mph top speed=Supercar

Ferrari 458 is a sports car. It is a fast sports car, but not all sports cars are created equal. A MX-5 is a sports car as well. It was beaten around the 'Ring by the Z06.

Pagani Zonda- The original Zonda had 390hp, and got to 60 as fast as a Mustang GT. The Zonda S was a supercar by 2002 standards. From then on, I would consider all editions of the Zonda supercars, making then an exception to the 200mph/3.2 sec rule.

Gallado- Has crazy Lamborghini styling, but looks do not make a car a supercar (DeLorean DMC-12). It is slower than the Mustang GT500. And the Corvette Z06. And the base Nissan GT-R.

The new Smolensk 6 engine has been released and is ready to be put into tuned cars.

The new Type EM is the smallest and least powerful of our muscle car offerings. Powered by a 450hp 4.4L V8, the Smolensk Type EM is the best mid-range muscle car on the market. It also gets 18mpg, much to the surprise of its owners.

Does anyone have ideas for Smolensk's next car? Also, do any of my models need an update?

[TheTom]

maybe a van? Something with enormous tyres, RWD and a big-ass V8? That would make a ridiculous but fun car with "practicality" (enough space for your children and luggage).

and i think thy Type R (and the type R line in general) coul use a facelift. And of course i can help you with the design if you want to

[Jakgoe]

Ok, I will start on a van.

[Jakgoe]

On a whim, Smolensk has made a van according the specifications set down by TheTom:

We call this the Smolensk Van:

[TheTom]

[USDMFTW]
