I cant rly add to the list as one of my face cars (the mini) is in lfs even if it does have diff lights and is called a uf1. Plus even the racing version is in lfs too. How sweet is that?
Though actually a real mini in real life is a bit more fun but it's still quite entertaining to drive the mini race car in lfs.
Oh yes... so my suggestion. Bike Engined Mini, like a z-cars thing or something. More POWER and real wheel drive. SORTED!

That is not possible in lfs, according to popular theories here, such cars cannot corner as good as you see on the youtube movie, the real world must be wrong
Seriously, it would be nice to have such powerfull and well handling cars in lfs. The gtr's should be more closer to that...
something diesel...i say this because this will add a whole new meaning to the game, they make all of the power down low, but almost no power up high, so shifting right will make or brake you...if there is engine damage incorperated, there might be the possibility of 'runaway diesel'
diesels would be cool, but then you would need a toyota prius to compete in the same class, eco racing highest mpg wins.
we've got inline4s, inline6, flat4-6 and high revving V8s... how about 3cyliner competitor for uf1000? also inline 5 engine would be great too. it sounds amazing.
We need rumbling V8's.
Maybe some Xrg and Xfg, would be very nice... Maybe even the Xrt... :-)
What do you mean? These cars are already available in Demo/S1...
Magician with one trick. Looks identical to the Challenger in your avatar; both of which have all the aerodynamic capabilities of a brick.
There is no trick MAGGOT, because he is designer of both two ones.
See for the typical style: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1018950#post1018950 and http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1150997#post1150997BTW, the aerodynamic issue is more complex than the car shape. Look at this datasheet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A ... pical_values_and_examples
You can compare the tables and photo samples below the page. There are too much surprises therein.
I'm glad that S2 included many more cars and also that the VW Scirocco. The sim has a wide variety of cars. However I've been thinking about what style of car is missing from the sim.
We have several front wheel drive cars of different weights and power levels.
We have several rear wheel drive cars of different weights, engine locations, and power levels.
We have an all wheel drive car.
We have several different formula cars including a formula SAE car and F1 car and everything in between.
We have cars with many different suspension types.
We have cars with wings to provide down force or at least reduce lift and cars without wings at all.
However I noticed one style is missing. Its a style that has been in many forms of racing for a very long time. We don't have a solid axle front engined rear wheel drive car available in the sim. That style has been popular in various forms of racing Australia and North America for quite some time and also has seen some popularity in some European and worldwide series.
Anyone remember the old racing videos of the Mini Coopers and fiats racing against the 1960's Mustangs and Camaros? How about the Mustang winning the 1964 Tour de France international rally? The Australian Touring Car Championships in the 1970's had multiple wind by the Camaro. What about the Mustangs in the SCCA and Trans-Am series? What about the Mustangs in the IMSA GTO class and the SCCA Escort Endurance SSGT championship. The 24 hours of Daytona wins too! They also competed and won the Koni Challenge and Speed World Challenge GT Series. The Swedish Camaro Cup has been a popular series since the 1970's. The IMSA GT series is popular with the Camaro and Mustang. The Camaro was also the car used by the International Race of Champions for quite a few years. How about all those land speed records set by Camaros and Mustangs at the Bonneville Salt Flats over the years. They are also currently raced in the NASA American Iron series, which is quite popular. Also for you drift fans, the Mustang is a popular drift car. I haven't kept up with all of the Australian front engined, solid axle rear wheel drive cars over the years, but I remember some Ford and GM vehicles of that style being pretty popular in racing there in the past.
Also think of all the famous drivers that drove front engined rear wheel drive solid axle race cars. Parnelli Jones, Bob Johnson, Mark Donohue, Mickey Thompson, Roger Penske, Danny Ongais, Ray Brock, Bob Jane, George Follmer, Steve Saleen, and Lynn St. James just to name a few.
It would also add a new driving challenge because its a new style with different characteristics than the typical front engined rear wheel drive car with a 4 wheel independent suspension.
When I searched previous posts and about polls wanting a new type of car, I found that a V8 RWD sedan or coupe was pretty popular. Making it a solid axle V8 RWD car would make things new and interesting and also bring in a new style that has been popular in a wide variety of different forms of racing for many years.

uhm... win.
How about a Dax Rush v8? that way we can get a v8 powered car, and a better class of lx6 that can compete with the GTRs?
we dont need an LX8
well, i want an lx8, or an lx6R, to compete with the GTR cars, a TVR Sagaris type thing and a Noble. more GTR cars too ofc.
maybe carrera cup cars or lotus exige/elise race and road cars just for some fun
and some old v8 supercars
and some old v8 supercarsTrolley
(or Moskwich)

Someone could make a poll about it: totally different car, creating another class? Or a partially different car, to enrich the existing classes (TBO, GTR, LX...)?
IMO, new prototype class.
IMO, new prototype class.
How about Top Gear's Geoff? is pretty economical and good looking too
i see that u got a crash test pic
I was going to make a new thread but figured this would be better in here. I was thinking it would be great to have a car with Four Wheel Steering. I have a Ford Telstar (rebadged Mazda 626) with four wheel steer and it is quite different to drive, especially when you aren't used to it. That is an electric system though, and I was thinking more of the mechanical systems of the old Honda Preludes. Even having both would be good as they do differ slightly.
What class would the Scirocco go in? Perhaps a car to compete against that.
with 200bhp it will only compete with it self
Al real formula car or its shoud looks like a formula car like a formula renault 2.0
Cars we wanna see in S3
