^ I agree, pointless to ask real cars but Le Mans prototype is most obvious type of car that is missing. Dear Eric, take the shapes of Mercedes-Sauber C9, modernize it little bit taking cues from this and tell Scawen to make it have goddamn big V12 (not diesel), because LFS needs bigger engines.
Slightly off-topic: How fast would that be? A LMP1 coupe with about 650 - 750 bhp/1000 Nm V12@ 925 kg? Would it have a good chance of beating FO8 around most tracks?
1000 Nm? Diesels make that kind numbers. That's quite unrealistic for petrol. V12 in the DBR9 (GT1 car) 650 Nm, and the same engine is installed in the new coupe Lola.
This year LMP1 is 900 kg.
I'd say good chances, regarding that in real life Peugeot 908 can lap pretty fast compared to GP2 car, only 1-2 secs behind. And GP2 is 580 hp vs. 460 hp in FO8, don't know about downforce/weight diffence...
Silverstone
F1 pole (2007) - 1.19.997
GP2 (2006) - 1.29
Peugeot 908 (2007) - 1.31.692
Monza
F1 pole (2007) 1.21.997
GP2 (2006) - 1.33.739
Peugeot 908 (2007) - 1.34.503
ps. Oh, and that car in the fourtitude.com page has nothing to do with real life, that is just fantasy design, altough wouldn't mind seeing that (unlikely with current regs)
The car would sound pretty weird, since the revs stay the same regardless of speed. Williams (I think) tested a CVT car in the 90s and got an extra couple of seconds per lap from it, but FIA banned it before they could actually enter it in a race.
More cars? We already have:
N/A FWD
N/A RWD
Turbo FWD
Turbo RWD
Turbo 4WD
N/A rear engined RWD
And of course RaceAbout
If you want "more bodykits and spoilers", we have:
Turbo RWD with "more bodykits and spoilers"
Turbo AWD with "more bodykits and spoilers"
N/A rear engined RWD with "more bodykits and spoilers"
...BTW, why haven't I seen anyone drifting with RaceAbout..? Or LX-cars. Too tough for drifters? Or does those lack Bling-Bling?
