That thing would be a beast to drive in LFS.


The "cracks the 1000 bhp per tonne mark" got me thinking about sprint car specs:

WoO car specs
Engine: maximum of 410 cubic inches
Fuel system: fuel injection
Horsepower: 750-815
Compression ratio: 13-17:1
RPM: 8000-8200
Speed: up to 150 m.p.h.
Powertrain: in/out direct drive with quick-change rear end
Fuel: methanol
Wheelbase: 86-88 inches
Width: 77 inches
Weight: 1,150-1,250 pounds
Chassis: light chrome-moly frame
Suspension: mostly torsion bar, some coil-over
Right rear tire: 103-106 inches in circumference
Wheels: chrome
Steering system: power steering

1304 hp/ton, not bad at all.

Bloody Hell thats a Beautiful Beast!

C'mon Scavier.....there is obvious interest in a bigger and badder LX (race prepped please :P )

You evil thing, you riped up the old wounds lol
But yes, I do want that thing, and I want it now.

that lx12 is like........WOW

Very interesting. Just a few days ago I got a copy of Grand Prix Legends and have been wondering how something similar to the 1967 F1 car would feel in LFS, some thing RWD with huge power to weight ratio and no downforce(important). Apart from the front engine layout an LX8 would be pretty damn close.

this was useless guys go to

Car we want to see in S3......

wish i could drive the lx8 again......omg what?!?!?!?


oooo the pain

In What version LX8 Are? I want to taste it.

being as you're a demo user you can't?

In no official versions. I think it has been in a testpatch.

And indeed, not in demo versions anyway

it never was in a test patch,

some beta testers tested it. (you will find the story some where in this theard)

Sorry

Think of the LX8 is just an overpowered RAC (power wise)

don't forget the slicks, it was still nearly impossible to control the car with those bloody things on it.

Why don't you think of it as a overpowered LX6?

An LX can't be overpowered. Just under-controlled.

Don't forget that older versions of lfs had poor tyre physics. I just runned LFS patch K and oh god (all cars where understeery compared to patch Z).

shush you!

Imagine an RAC-GTR

It would be nice to upgrade the current LX series to reflect the current Seven replicas, like the Caterhams.

A real Caterham CSR uses a 4 cylinder 2.3 liter engine and comes in 200 hp and 260 hp version. An LX4 could be 140 hp, LX6 200 hp, and LX8 260 hp, even though all would be 4 cylinder engines. With 260 hp, top speed increases from 140 mph to 155 mph.

Bias ply racing slicks for the LX8 (or LX6) would be nice and duplicate the slicks used for many Caterham based racing events. I tested the patch Z LX6 and the LX's physics has improved greatly since the S1 days. It's no longer that difficult to drive.
