'What if?'- GTGR Car Design competition

What if a rulebook doesn't exist?...




Description
What if there is no rulebook, what if there are no limits except what is physically possible? What if money doesn't play a role and everything is open for the minds of the engineer.



Rules
- Every car must have four wheels.
- Every car must have a name.
- Every car must be posted in this thread (image + zip).
- Physics are not required (unless you want to release it all by yourself.
- Include a description (why have you chosen this design, what type of engine it should have, power, weight, etcetera).
- Everyone may post one car only.



Winning prizes
Two cars will win:

- The 'GT Award', awarded by myself, for my favorite design.
- The 'Best of Show award', awarded by a public poll.

The GT Award winner will be announced at a maximum of two days after entry has closed. After this announcement a poll will be made where everyone will be able to vote.
Both winning cars will appear in the first release of Gran Turismo GR.
By posting your car in this thread you grant permission for your car to be modified for Gran Turismo GR. Modifications will include physical values and colors.

Both winning players will receive a redeem code for unlocking a special vehicle in GTGR.



Entries
Entries must be posted here before 30 november, 23:59.59 CET.

To mods: I thought this, as a competition, would fit best here. If it doesn't, move it to the right section.

I've got two questions:
1. Can the cars be fictional or should they be real cars?
2. A general question how you handle this: Should head be visible at every car or only at the open cars? Or never?

I'd think a competition that says "No rules dood!" would imply fictional super-machines.

1: Fictional.
2: Open cars only.

Come up with whatever ultimate fantasy car you can think of, just keep to try it a bit real (eg no 5000bhp cars).

Also, a 5000 hp car would be undriveable in GR anyway :D

True, but you get the point.

I can try... I'm full of ideas, but the 1-car-per-person limitation doesn't allow me to do that sort of thing lol

EDIT: I found the best solution. Maybe someone will criticise me for being so extreme with the car choice, but I did it because I always wanted a thing like that. Also, I thought that GT lacks in open-wheel cars, so why not?

In fact, I'm building a Japanese-manga style F1 :rofl:

Specs:
Athmospheric (no superchargers etc.) V8, 4400cc, something like 1000BHP (the original were more than 4750, I reduced to have more real-feeling, even if 1000BHP are still a LOT :rofl: )
About 500-550 Kgs
Top speed: estimated around 400 KM/H (sthg like 250 MPH)
0-60 in less than 2 seconds.

Pics soon.

would two or three cars be better? Is fine to me.

What you wrote down is exactly what i was looking for :)

I'd too like 2 or 3 cars, so that you can make both real life cars and fictional cars if you want it.
And if you have more cars, you don't need to make them all on your own :rofl:

i was actually looking for fantasy designs only, real life versions will come later ;)

As you may notice this is not rally car :D
however, I have poor car making skills :( :doh:

Haqspeed Predator

Angry looking ultimate car with generic physics (as you said that they are not compulsory) and official livery of factory supported team Monkey Racing. Build to be best

:hattip:

EDIT: here comes some facts
Middle engine V12, 615 HP, max speed about 320km/h, weight 1001kg :scratch:

Would you mind giving the specifications

(reason I dont ask for physics is that they'll be changed to the GTGR physics, which I'm ofcourse not releasing to the public now :))

looks good!

yes, it's cool... I think that under that hood a V12 can fit... around 650CV and 340KM/h, 0-100Km/h in.. ehm, IDK, like a Murcielago or an Apollo...
weight, low... lower than a Lambo, IDK we can say 1200Kgs...

Well, are we allowed to make 1 vehicle only or can we make 2 or 3?
And what if I make some different coloured racing versions with better specs than the "street" car? Will it still count as one car?

2 or 3 are fine. It will still count as one car (as long as its a fantasy car)

Zaquetinho

Zaquetinho is a 4,4 metres long, rear-engined sports car prototype. A power of 1300hp allows it to reach a speed of around 440km/h. 'Shark fin' and flat, wide car body guarantee perfect aerodynamics and great stability. An unusual shape refers to body of ray. Made from ultra-light alloys has very low weight around 1100kg.

LMRacing RS510. RS for a super-sports model, 5 for 5 litre, 10 for V10 cylinder layout. Produces about 500 bhp at 8000 rpm from the naturally aspirated V10. It's quite a long car as it's descended from a sport prototype, but stretched - the SP500. Capable of at least 200 mph, this 1.2 tonne supercar is an absolute peach to drive anywhere. The huge front contains the engine, but it is well recessed behind the axle - so much so that in front of that, as in the small rear, is a large amount of storage space.

And I'd like to present my first entry:
ELITTE
Elitte was a 2011 Lotus Elise. But the engineers thought about making something new. So they made the engine hood longer and created a divided back window. Their inspiration was Corvette stingray, but now it looks like McLaren F1.
Elitte is produced with a 4-cylinder, 2L Turbo which produces 250 PS. It can reach a top speed of 248 kph and has a very little mass of 740 kg. Cause of that and the 235/30 R18 wheels it has a very good handling. The V6 is a bit heavier. It has a 3.2L Turbo with 350 PS. It'S mass is 780 kg, still very little, but it's not much faster than S4. Reaches a topspeed of 264 kph. It has an air intake at the roof which is very bad for drag coefficient.

Elitte is also raced in the GT3 Series. It is used by Castrol, Martini Racing, Red Bull and Falken Tyres. There it uses the V6 Turbo upgraded to 450 PS and the Elitte for racing isn'T as heavy - a little 660 kg. They took of the divison for race to give the drivers better ability to look around ;) Thanks to its 235/30 R18 in the front and the 265/25 R19 in the back it's one of the best cars on all curvy tracks. But it doesn't like the straights. it accelerates fast but you can't go faster than 270 kph!

Enough from talking about Elitte. Here'S the file. But I didn't work on physics ;)

EDIT: I forgot a pic. It will come ASAP.
EDIT2: Added a picture and tags. Normally the picture would be animated gif but I dont have the software now :(
Greets, XYY

I think that name Elitte may be really confusing, because real Lotus has just designed a new Elite (and it's not the same as Elise)...

Just to clarify: we can have more than one car entry and we can change it too?

Both yes. I don't mind an extra entry or two, just don't hand in 15 different cars :P
