Made a car, now looking for feedback...

Hi all,
after quite a lot of time tinkering with Automation, I've been working lately on a car since the latest Steam EA.
So here goes :
The Scorpion Azura Concept.
This is Scorpion's latest concept car, might be a real model on next year.
It's a kind of sporty premium compact sedan.

Be careful about the tire size : they're supposed to be 215 each. It tends to go back to 205 on the rear. Might be a bug.

Otherwise, feel free to comment and discuss my choices. It's the point of this topic ! ;)

Very neat, I do like the front end. Could be better if you didn't have the cat whiskers :P.

Also, if you could post the stats and the rear end, it would be nice. Instead of having the file to be downloaded.

The whiskers had to be there in order to have the chrome accents.
I'll mod the Community Pack (which might be needed, I forgot to tell !) to add fixture variants when I'll have more time.

Anyway, thank you very much ! I hope it's modern enough for 2015, I have a knack for classical designs :)

EDIT : By the way, did I miss any detail ? I've got all the additional lights I could think of, and to date there's no way to add wipers or one-side fuel doors.

Re: Made a car, now looking for feedback...

I played around with the engine some, and I noticed the redline is set too low. I raised it and the engine power peak shifted all the way up to 8200 RPM. You'd have to switch to lightweight forged pistons and drop the stoke to keep it reliable, but the performance would certainly improve. Going up a click on exhaust diameter and advancing the ignition timing until the verge of detonation would also squeeze out a bit more power.

The front of it really reminds me of a Chevy Volt, don't know why. I really like the overall design!
