Charma Automobiles

[supraman]

Hey Guys This is My personal car brand That I would Like to document. Until new bodies and better morphs become available to me plus I am pretty new to the car creator part of the game some of my earlier work may not be as up to date as some of the cars I have been looking at but hey its all for fun right? Just so you guys and gals have an idea of where I get a lot of my inspiration I am a heavy Import fan and really have a strong liking for the rally scene.

So without further ado,

I present to you the first car I have built, the 1940 Charma Hydra!

The 1940 Charma Hydra was originally put into production When Charma seen the potential Market for a fun sporty 4 door that wasn't going to break the bank. Charmas first task was making a a stylish body that would not only catch your eye, but make you never take your eyes off of it. Next was the task of Build a fun reliable drivetrain, Charma did this by attaching their VD1500. This would be the engine that revolutionized the company in years to come. The final hurdle Charma had to face was a interior that would make you never want to leave.

STATS:

Engine:

1.5L OHC carburated Inline Six
Single Clutch Four Speed manual gearbox
101 HP @ 5800 RPM
94.3 TQ @ 5400 RPM
0-62 in 13.8

Hope you enjoy tell me what you think, and I will soon release the 1950 Charma Hydra MK2!

I think the taillights are to modern tho.

[supraman]

I agree fully I just cant get the tailights I had wanted to use to morph quite right so the first two generations shared these sadly. I hope the guys will soon release some more headlights and tail lights to play with. I am working on trying to fix the tailights on the MK1 and 2 still but just not finding anything I like and these just flow with the body lines. but I totally agree way to modern for a 1940s car.

EDIT:

and I just realized when I took the Screen Shots i managed to use the Platform version not the Model version so my tires look so small

[supraman]

Back with Another great car to share! Some of you will soon find out I really have a thing for hatch backs and wagons. Blame my 2002 WRX Wagon

Anyway onto the car, the Charma Sigma!

Fast forwarding to the current year Charma Automobiles has really taken shape as their own company setting them selves apart from the competition. One of the ways they achieved this was by sticking with one engine lay out for over 40 years! Sadly this also had a downside as the consumers began to grow tiresome of the patented and refined Inline six monsters Charma is well known for today. Seeing this issue Chief Designer and CEO Jordan Layne ( me ) set out to create a new Luxury car that could hold its own against even some of the higher end Mercedes-Benz. To power this new Luxury car or more appropriately wagon, Jordan began building a 5.7L V8 that would soon take the competition by storm! The car would come stock with a Sports compound rubber, with 235s on the front and a massive 305 on the rear. The breaks were no slouch either because when you weigh this much braking becomes an issue. Standard size breaks for the Charma sigma were quite impressive to say the least with 325mm rotors and 2 piston callipers up front and 300mm rotors and 1 piston callipers in the rear.The car was also made fully claude and had room for a total of 5 passengers to enjoy the luxurious interior and Premium JL Audio sound system. Along with all these nice things came The Charma Sigma's Standard equipment like power steering, anti-lock breaks, traction control, and electronic stability control. The car was then fitted with a complete front and rear set of Recaro Racing Seats. All in all this was a car that Charma knew they could put their complete trust in knowing it was a very strong competitor for its market, And with a starting price of $53,000 it was also one of the more affordable options.

STATS:

Engine 5.7L DOHC Direct Injection Tremor V8
500hp @ 5800 RPM
469Ft/LBS @ 4600 RPM
Dual Clutch Six Speed Manual Gearbox
0-62 in 4.5
1/4 Mile in 12.6 @ 188KM/H
Top Speed of 364.4KM/H
17.4MPG
Weighs in at 4312.7LBS








Hope you guys and gals enjoy

hey guys, back with an update on the Charma Hydra!

The year is now 1950 and Charma has just celebrated its first 10 years in the business,while they continue to grow strong as a company so does their beloved Hydra. In the past 10 years the car did see small changes as do all cars but this time around the car would become a totally new machine. After the competition realized Charma was not to be taken lightly they began making more competitive 4 doors, while this did not bug Charma it did mean it was time for them to also follow the path and step up their game as well. In 1950 Charma finally decided it was time to take their tired body style and give it a totally fresh redesign. This of course would also mean a completely new engine, putting the VD1500 on the back burner making plenty of room to let the new VD1900 power it to victory! While there was nothing really wrong with the VD1500 it was beginning to get out dated as technology began to vastly improve, and Charma would not be taken off guard. The VD1900 had many improvements, its bore size increased from 73.3 - 80.7 mm and its stroke also increased from 60.8 - 61.7 mm. Its bottom end wasn't the only thing to see improvements so did its head, going from a Direct Acting OHC to a OHC and in the process gaining another valve from 2-3. The compression also seen a raise from 9.5:1 to 10.3:1. More goodies in the head included a larger cam profile from 78-80 degrees. Minor changes to the fuelling system were changed as well such as going from a single to 2 barrel carb, a little bit leaner fuel mixture from 13.5:1 to 13.3:1 and a lower rev limiter from 5800 to 5300 RPM. With all these changes Charma wanted the car to sound as good as it preformed so they upped the exhaust size from 1.5 to 2 inches to give it a deeper sound. All of these changes made for an impressive 23 HP gain and 29 FT-LBS TRQ, taking it from 101-124 HP and 94 - 123 FT-LBS TRQ. These results were also very noticeable on the track shaving .4 of a second off its previous 0-62 from 13.8 to 13.4. It also beat out its previous quarter mile time of 19.7 to 18.9 saving it almost a full second! Its top speed also seen a small increase from 173-178 KM/H but this all came at a cost of losing its MPG setting it down to 16.4 form 17.6, but with all the gains the car had seen Charma did not have any worries over losing a bit of economy.

Now onto the pics!

I love the taillights on the Sigma!

[supraman]

Thanks jhd1124 !

it took a lot of fiddling to get right and im not used to making custom lights by meshing two sets together so it took a while for me to get that right. Your cars have a lot of inspiration for me and I really like your styling as well. Hope you stick around and watch the Hydra transform cause it will soon look totally different. I also have two more cars I would like to upload hopefully tomorrow excluding another form of the Hydra, so a total of 3.

Thanks for the feed back I am always open to suggestion and love the public's criticism so don't be shy to share an opinion, who knows may make it to the next car

Hello everybody,

I have returned with my first actual Muscle Car! Now this is a big thing for me because I actually have very little knowledge when it comes to a V8 or what looks good for a muscle car, so please be gentle but I do want to hear what you guys think of it so here it is!


While in 1970 the Charma Automobiles name was quickly growing some people looked towards the more brute force of a real muscle car, this wasnt to say that the Charma Hydra wasnt competitive but more a different market. When Charma noticed the drop in sales and competitors sales increasing they didn't waste any time and began developing a new monster. The task was simple make the sleek body and cram the biggest fuel thirsty V8 they could fit into it right? Wrong! while charma did infact fit the largest V8 they could into the car it was anything but thirsty. this 411 HP machine could still pull off a very impressive 19.9 MPG, and lets not forget the 13.8 1/4 mile time!


STATS:

Engine:

10.9L Flat Plane 32 valve Dual Over Head Cam
Single Clutch Four Speed Manual Gearbox
411 HP @ 5800 RPM
600 Ft-LBS TRQ @ 2000 RPM
0-62 in 13.8
MPG 19.9













hope you enjoy it!

[jhd1124]

The front looks very intimidating! I like everything about the car except for the back. I feel like it's lacking a bit of the same personality of the front.

[supraman]

Whoops, ya caught me!

Jhd1124 that would be because... ( looks both ways and whispers , " that's because this is a base model )

[supraman]

Well while you all have been stuffing your faces with with turkey, ham, mashed potatoes and your Grandma's stuffing, Charma has been very hard at work behind the old dusty drawing board to bring you all something fresh. There are still two models left to create but be ready for a great update soon and you can be sure it will have a few new motors, looks, and curves to keep you guys happy! Now go grab one of those cookies before your wife catches you

wishing everybody season greetings ( I know im a bit late on that but I just got back myself and havent had a computer for looong time )

well here is our first teaser,

Meet the Charma Arrow! the official stats are being withheld until its operating 100% but what we can tell you is this beast has over 500hp, is not turboed, and isnt a v8. It was designed to keep up with modern supercars and even in a base model status can hang with the best of them. Ladies and Gentlemen, the Charma Arrow!







enjoy,

Jordan.

[SuperSportNick]

Wow, I am blown away by the Arrow. I cannot wait for the stats. Interesting choices here too, like the flip up headlights and that sunroof really pops. This car could not look any more aggressive and refined. Very impressive. Good job.

I also like how you maintain the exhausts right underneath the tail lights, very consistent styling throughout all of your cars.

[supraman]

haha thanks so much man means a lot, its been quite some time since I have played the game due to no computer so I had a ton of ideas I wanted to try out and with all the new mods it made the game so much more enjoyable

the official stats will be released in a few days when I am on days off, along with a few more models I have been working on and one I have been designing and refining over the past few months. I wanted this one to be a flagship car but the arrow may have stole that thunder

thanks again for the kind words

Jordan.
