What's your fantasy car?! - *insertusernamehere* - 06-25-2014
Stole this from Reddit. Thought it would be good here. You can see mine below.
Body: Designed by Pininfarina - something with a nice low roofline.
Type: 4 door hatchback (yes, a hatchback with a nice low roofline, i never said it was meant to be practical)
Engine: Turbo Diesel V8
Drivetrain: AWD
Transmission: ZF 6 Speed Manual
Suspension: Something made by the ///M division
Interior: Leather, glass, carbon fiber, bucket seats in color options of red, grey or black. No crazy tech options, just a radio + bluetooth and a small screen for weather + traffic updates. A/C Heat ofcourse.
Wheels: Something made by BBS. Not mesh though.
Extras? ABS, traction control...naaahhhhh
TECHNICALLY the post from reddit says "If you were starting a car company what would your first car be like?". You can let your imagination go wilder when it's a fantasy car :lol:

If I started a car company it would basically be TVR.
Insane inline six
Rear drive
Tries to kill you if you don't respect it
Gets bought by Russian mobsters as a money laundering front and goes out of business.
Re: What's your fantasy car?! - BLINGMW - 06-25-2014
Unpainted plastic / carbon fiber body
Seats 4-5
2-dr
Maybe not convertible, but some kind of open top that still allows for a track day. T-top or fabric top, with removable rear glass too? :dunno:
RWD
Electric with ~120mi range.
Tow hitch and small trailer with a diesel generator on it for long trips (and handy backup for the house when not being used).
Not cartoon size wheels, just some light 17"
~2500 lbs
AC (not climate control), stereo / bluetooth, ABS would be the only "features" otherwise:
manual seats, windows, steering, locks. No screens, just a few buttons and knobs. Cloth seats, no carpet
Think sports-Jeep-Wrangler-car, might end up looking like a Volkswagon Thing. :thumbup:

I like fantasy to be potentially realistic, otherwise my "car" is a light-speed time-traveling laser-cannon that also has a nice pool.

Out of all the ones, I agree with Rexie the most??? Weird
I also like the NA inline six or v8 , minimum 300rwhp
rear drive
Motorsports ABS
long-wheelbase (for a sports car)
2500-3000lbs
2 door 4 seats
Crap, basically describing a GT3....

The Mysterio™?

.RJ Wrote:The Mysterio™?This has a key difference from the Mysterio in that it would not intentionally kill the occupants. Whether or not the end result is the same however, is yet to be determined.
Re: What's your fantasy car?! - WRXtranceformed - 06-25-2014
This would make zero financial sense (if I was actually creating a car company to make a profit) but it would basically be an even lighter version of this with the Project 7 carbon fiber bits (minus the wing), the 567hp tune, Jag's AWD system and somehow engineer a trunk that could actually fit a set of golf clubs in it. And a power retracting hard top :lol:

Re: What's your fantasy car?! - G.Irish - 06-25-2014
There has to be some constraints. How much should the car cost? I mean if I could make any car I'd make a hypercar but in reality I may never be able to afford something like that.
Re: What's your fantasy car?! - Kaan - 06-25-2014
Body: low roof line, wide-ish bodied, non vert (but targa/t-tops are fine)... a little shorter than the E36 M3 (108 inches center of hub to center of hub) but with the wheels pushed a little more to the corners (mini like)... no LED headlights
Type: 2 doors, 2 seats, front engine... 2500-2800lbs with light weight options, 3200lbs in steel
Engine: V8 with iVtec (aka vtec/vanos combo) 400ish hp high reving
Drivetrain: RWD with LSD
Transmission: 6 Speed Manual
Suspension: Geometry by the ///M division, executed by someone that wont have mounting failures... brakes by brembo
Interior: Suede, carbon fiber, bucket seats in black/grey. Just a radio with bluetooth and two well placed speakers. A/C is an option, heat is "needed." One port for a phone charger
Wheels: Volks/Enkei light weight 17-18inch
Extras? wheel/tire/brake option, quick steering rack, traction control on/off switch, ABS on/off switch, factory roll bar/harness/seatbelt combo, removable data logging/stand alone tuning, CF and titanium body panel replacement parts, factory exhaust/intake upgrades (STI ish options), rear view mirror with radar detector
I think if you can get a base car around $40k... and start adding light weight options, "track" options, etc would be $$$$ options

Re: What's your fantasy car?! - CaptainHenreh - 06-25-2014

an AM/F type wouldnt be bad if they took out some of the frills, lowered the weight and cost.. and i think they are a little long too. have the motor rev a little higher (i'm waiting for Honda to build a damn V8 off their F1 tech)...
if TVR (brute-ish), AM (style), Honda (tech-ish), and Lotus (suspensions/execution) made an orgy child it might come out okay with me.

add wood panels on the side and make it a waggy and you got it!

Kaan Wrote:I'm not convinced that you need the boosted Jag 5.0 revving any higher. You're already going way too fast at the top of 2nd gear / bottom of 3rd for the street. You could drop the NA 5.0 into it and maybe wring it out a little higher....that would drop the weight of the supercharger / supporting components. Stock they are 385/380 so a modded version of that wouldn't be a bad call. What am I saying, why would you drop the supercharger? :lol:CaptainHenreh Wrote:So Kaan wants a...F Type?

You could also just retune the V6 S from 340/322 which is plenty of power for that chassis.
Re: What's your fantasy car?! - Kaan - 06-25-2014
all motor V8 in my power range is done without the SC... changing lobes and cam angle on the fly... 9k redline. i dont actually want the F type, i want better for less.
