Time to finally post a few of my cars that I have built in the recent AutomationHub streams! It's a long, picture heavy post, so brace yourselves!
First off, we have the Cottam Hornet, a competitor to the Aston Martin Vanquish. The stats are somewhat similar, but the Hornet will leave a much smaller hole in your wallet.
The design is classy, with a hint of aggression coming from the large grilles. The headlights were made by using a few of the rimless circle lights, and I think it works very well. The aggressive styling is continued through to the back of the car, with the signature quad-exit exhaust system used on many Cottam performance vehicles.
The engine is a smooth 7.5L V8 powerhouse producing 552hp. The engine is a nice quiet creation at cruising speeds, but when you put the foot down, it erupts into a grumbling song of beauty!
Here's the car's stats:
Thanks to how cheap this car is to produce, the Cottam Hornet will only set you back £65,000 and compared to the Vanquish, that's an absolute bargain!
And now for the Cottam Fino, a luxurious sedan that is too slow to compete with the Jaguar XF, yet too luxurious and pleasant to compete with anything cheaper. So it's in it's own league!
The design is the first Cottam design to feature a vent designed by myself, and again the design utilizes the rimless headlights to create a custom shape.
The back is simple. yet elegant, with an array of grilles and a nice strip of chrome separating the exhaust system with the upper portion of the rear end.
The engine is a very smooth, very quiet 2.0L turbocharged I6 engine that produces a less-than-modest 294hp.
And here are the stats!
The Cottam Fino is very reasonably priced at £42,000 and for that you get all the gadgets you could ever need, lovely leather trim, sat-nav, and electric everything!
Just don't buy this car if you're a stickler for fuel economy though. This car is built for extreme comfort and luxury on long cruises after a nice round of golf. Or at least, that's the stereotype.
