year 1955 + 306 hp + 1023 kilos
derp, that must be nice.
By the way, make sure that this GTO model has proper brakes - in it's era I bet only Mercedes 300SL Gullwing was only faster. However 244 km/h car needs massive brakes to stop.
Photos plz

FRX sounds promising. Especially with 1700hp...

Since I am re-designing the company it is currently not on Automation Hub or in this thread, but this are the stats of my little 5L pride

[Falco]

I'd love to have some feedback on this one!

Hello everyone,

After being away for a while, I thought I'd upload something new. This car was made before I took a break.
The car uses my to date favourite engine I designed the FRX
Let me introduce you to the:

The Falco Peregrine - Prototype I

The result of Falco needing a car to house the 1701hp strong FRX engine.
This car was specially developed by Falco, but is still in a concept fase. According to the CEO of Falco the Peregrine Prototype I has room much room for improvements.
In his opinion the suspension is not right yet, nor have they found a gearbox good enough for the FRX. The car is also too heavy according to the CEO.

The Falco Peregrine - Prototype I is a 2 door coupé style motor vehicle with a mid mounted engine powering all four wheels.
The 8 cylinder, double overhead camshaft twin-turbocharged engine has 5 valves per cylinder and a capacity of 5.1 litres. In this application it provides power and torque figures of 1701 hp at 8400 rpm and 1562 Nm at 7000 rpm respectively.
Power is transferred to the wheels via a 7 speed double clutch sequential gearbox.
It weighs a claimed 1318.6 kg at the kerb.
Top quoted speed is 386.1 km/h..
