As long as it's identical, I don't think so, since it's development costs. So you could have one engine and use it in all your cars but you'd only develop it once. For example, Aston Martin has used basically the same chassis for all their cars since the first Vanquish.

Err, I HOPE that , for example, I4 researched = any I4 made. If not, then I need to take stock. badly.

Red Pill Motors is proud to announce the Red Pill Targa. It will be based off our Super GT GT500 Faze, and will begin production in Q1 2016. The Targa will be, like our Faze, a 491-hp naturally aspirated V6, and it will cost $120,000. Red Pill is also looking into the possibility of a LMP1 racer that will race in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. We would also like to announce that both the Tokyo and Chesterfield plants will expand into small factories by the end of Q4 2015.

I'm gonna have to void your 460hp I4 Turbo. 260hp sounds better to me, 280 if you put extra funding into it.

@ProjectWHaT, @Beeblebrox237
If you are using the exact same turbo or supercharger on two different engines, it doesn't cost anything to develop, but that usually isn't the case. There's no one-time payment for every component... unless you have a really boring company, like Aston (in my opinion), that makes nearly identical cars.

BBL, my wildcats are playing

 

[BKGlover]

There's no one-time payment for every component... unless you have a really boring company

Post-breakdown edit: Semi-happily, however, I AM using the same engines. I do need to take out more for the DeLeon FF chassis.

 

[ildd]

@JMoney689 but I made it in Automation
I'll just leave that engine off then, giving Harrbol an additional 300cr.

Harrbol Automobiles has released an official render for what could be the facelifted Babam, which has been produced for 4 years now. They were quoted saying that "The front bumper and dual exhaust is only available on the Babam S, which will come with the same V8 engine as before." The performance specs are from the same 2.6L I6 as before, but the engine was revised for fuel economy. The standard engine as before achieved roughly 27.3 MPG.

*sigh* I think I need to get all my stuff organized. I won't do it here, but I will make some adjustments.

@GTvsForza My apologies if this is outdated; I meant to mention this last night; your starting form had a lack of factories and dealerships.

Would anyone be interested in switching the time system to 1 day = half a quarter? It's taking me about an hour to write these reports every night, and it's very tiring. The game will go slower, but much smoother, as I'll be able to pay attention to other things besides finances. If we do switch, I'll make it so that changes to companies and company creations happen with a half-quarter delay, meaning if you post within 24 hours of a profit report, the change will occur on the next report, two days later.

I'll only change it if there is a strong majority of approval, however.

 

[ildd]

I wouldn't mind slowing down a bit, I was wondering how long it took you to make the reports.

 

[BKGlover]

Works for me.

Also,@JMoney689 more business editing. The Tribute-B has a FR like the Austin & Co., but the intent was a different chassis from the rest. I need to know if the layouts are also set by each design or bought works for all in this case.

EDIT: Nevermind. I will assume yes and dock myself for it.

[PsychoMuppet]

I don't have an issue with the proposed change.

After a fabulous quarter, ABR has decided to branch out into a slightly more mainstream area, the new model the "Beast" will fit into the Muscle/Super Saloon category and will be built in a second, small factory in Detroit. To cope with the additional production capacity, ABR is opening 5 new dealerships.

Moscow, Russia
Tokyo, Japan
Madrid, Spain
Rome, Italy
Seoul, South Korea

This brings our Production capacity to 10,080cars/qtr and Sales capacity to 4500-13,500cars/qtr.

All five models (Banshee, Wraith, Widow Maker, Brute and Beast) will appear at Pebble Beach Concours D'elegance.

Harrbol Automobiles would like to upgrade their factory in Detroit from small to medium, for a cost of 5000 cr. This upgraded factory will house future production models, which are expected to be shown at the next NAIAS.
Total production is now 80,000 cars a quarter, and with 16 dealerships, Harrbol is able to sell up to 14,400 cars per quarter.

Additionally, Harrbol is opening a dealership in Phoenix, Albuquerque, Minneapolis, Tallahassee, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Sacramento, Quebec, Toronto, and Edmonton for a total cost of 2500 cr, and brings total sells at most 23,400 units.

Lastly, Harrbol will create a museum in Houston, Tx, for 500 cr.
This large growth puts Harrbol Automobiles at 1750 cr remaining.

How about 1 day = 1 month? Then there would be a Q report every 3rd day and it'll be easier for us to say that "in April we did this and that and in May we invested in something else" etc... Not that it's important, but if you want to spread the Q reports out a bit it would help, and in my mind it makes more sense to have 1 month/day instead of 1.5 months/day.

Edit: And it would take 50% more time before we reach so far into the future that cars are flying

After a somewhat disappointing first quarter, Bavarian Motors are pleased to see a resurgence in profits through the second quarter. To better satisfy North American tastes, a mid-sized crossover utility vehicle based on a slightly shortened version of platform that underpins the company's sedan, now known as the E-Series.

All engines and transmissions offered in the X-Series are carried over from the E and T-Series. It is expected to hit the market within a year. The E-Series, T-Series and upcoming X-Series will all receive a newly developed all-wheel drive system to satisfy northern customers.

Dealership Locations:

Houston TX, USA.

Car Models

Model Name: Igneus Landslide
Trim Levels: Commercial, 4X4 "Kangchenjunga", Military.
Body Style: SUV, SUT (4X4)
Engine: V8 (Commercial), Turbocharged V12
Drivetrain: Front Engined 4WD
Transmission: 6 Speed Manual
Location of Factory: Dubai, UAE.

Changes and announcements.

- President Hamza has left for a business trip to the UK, putting all major decision making to a halt. Rumors speculate his visit to the Staffordshire factory for personal testing, and further decision making of the super light car's reveal for the next quarter.

- Also, he will be driving the Landslide 4X4 to the top of the hill in the Goodwood Hill Climb. Aiming for a sub 1 minute time, the company wishes him the best of luck.

- A handbuilt factory is found just outside of Frankfurt, Germany. (- 100 cr)

- To back up the finding of said factory, an announcement was made just a day after. Further developments gave the Igneus Landslide 4x4 a special, separate model: the Igneus Avalanche: a supreme variant that aims to be competitive to sports cars (slightly smaller than an X6) and (somehow reach) a sub 7:15 time around the Nurburgring. Testing and development provides it with these specifications.

Model Name: Igneus Avalanche.
Trim: Signature Edition.
Body Style: Crossover (size wise, -450 cr)
Engine: Dual Turbocharged V12 (-200 cr for adding another turbo)
Drivetrain: Mid Engined 4WD (-750 cr)
Transmission: 7 Speed Semi Automatic (-300 cr)
Location of Factory: Frankfurt, Germany.
0-60: 3.9 seconds.
Top speed: 199 mph.
Bonus expenditure: 500 cr.

Description: Did the 4X4 make you think: yawn? Well, no fret. Getting rid of the off road and on to the tarmac, the Landslide Avalanche is the ultimate street rod! Powering the V12 with another turbo gains it an output of 820 hp! With carbon fibre paneling and removal of all obstructing speed (still has leather and air conditioning), it's lighter than the 4X4 by 250 kg, the Avalanche is engineered, monitored and tested by racers worldwide to give it the touches that makes it better than you think! With a price of 325,000 US Dollars, this order only sporty SUV hybrid will make sure your friends and family will somehow never disagree with you ever!

Comes in custom livery editor, or pure Carbon Fibre (what this thing's mostly made of)

The vehicle will be shown as a last second addition to Pebble Beach (-50 cr)

3 more dealerships to be founded: (-750 cr)

Mumbai, India.
Adelaide, Australia.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.


Total money left: 6380 - 3100 = 3280 cr.

Jesus H. Christ, I've really been effing this up. Sedan Body:1170-200=970 left.

@JMoney689

• Are Turbos and Superchargers treated as add ons, or do they need to be bought and paired to a new engine?
• Will diesel variants of gas engines need to be new purchases?
• Is after-the-fact component investing really gonna be worth a damn?
• Again, does buying a layout once apply to all, or is it to each shared base?
• Will I be punished if I missed stuff from last fiscal year?

2015 Q2 Report

Changes in bold​

Aquila Motors

Headquarters: London
Factory: Birmingham (medium)
Dealerships: 20 (5 new)

Existing models:

Model Name: Ace
Trim Levels: Ace, Ace Sport, Ace Racing (new trim level)
Body Style(s): Coupe, convertible
Engine(s): 4.0 litre V12, naturally aspirated
Drivetrain(s): FR
Transmission(s): 6 speed manual, 7 speed DCT
Location of Factory: Birmingham
Cost of Changes: 0
Brief model description:
The Aquila Ace is a dynamic, exciting supercar. It is available as a two seat coupe or convertible, with a balanced RWD chassis. It can be had with a slick 6 speed manual or a racy 7 speed dual clutch gearbox. It's designed for the gentleman enthusiast, who might use his Ace to commute to work on a nice day, dissect a mountain road on a summer evening, or take it to the limit on the racetrack on Sunday. Comfortable enough for everyday use but equipped with a high revving 550 bhp V12 and lightweight construction and materials, the Ace has breathtaking performance.

The Ace Racing features more power and weight saving technology to make it one of the best track cars on the planet. It offers an excellent drive on the track and yet is still enjoyable on the road.

Model Name: Interceptor
Trim Levels: Interceptor, Interceptor GT
Body Style(s): Coupe, convertible
Engine(s): 4.0 litre V12 naturally aspirated, 4.5 litre V8 twin turbo
Drivetrain(s): FR
Transmission(s): 6 speed manual, 7 speed DCT, 6 speed automatic (new option)
Location of Factory: Birmingham
Cost of Changes: 0
Brief model description:
The Aquila Interceptor is the ultimate GT car. It's equally at home crossing continents, carving canyon roads, or simply driving around town. Like the Ace, the Interceptor uses our modular RWD chassis architecture. It uses the same engine, tuned to make 500 bhp but with more torque and a more relaxed nature. The spacious 4 seat coupe or convertible body and commodious boot make for easy long distance travel. The car is dynamic and poised on the road, but supple and relaxing to drive when cruising.

The Interceptor GT features Aquila Motors' twin turbo V8 for more power and torque than the V12, as well as better fuel efficiency. The suspension tuning is nearly identical, therefore the Interceptor is the purists choice, while the Interceptor S is faster and more relaxed to drive.

Model Name: Emperor
Trim Levels: Luxury, Sport, Ultimate
Body Style(s): SUV
Engine(s): 4.5 litre V8, twin turbo
Drivetrain(s): F4
Transmission: 7 speed DCT, 6 speed automatic (new option)
Location of Factory: Birmingham

From now on all quarterly reports from BMC will be in this format, so that I can keep track of everything and it's easy for everyone to see what I've got. I know it's long but there's a lot here.

@JMoney689 I like the idea of slowing the game down a bit, it would be nice for most of us now that were settled in, and it certainly would be easier for you.

Trim Levels : Dapper.
Body Style : SUV
Engine : 1.0L I4 Diesel "J01"
Drivetrain : Front Engine 4 Wheel Drive "JF4X4"

"The James Corden will be unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in Q2 2015, which will involve a mobile demonstration along the course across the weekend.

James are delighted to announce that we have made it through a quarter! Development, production and sales for the James Corden have all been ambitious, and not rubbish so far. Our CEO James May had this to say:

We haven't sold any cars in Quarter 1? Oh cock...

Mr May was later sat down in a corner somewhere and explained that we only opened in Q1 and shouldn't be too hasty expecting profits to roll in. In the same way our customers shouldn't expect the wheels to keep a-rollin'.

To keep customers informed of our current focus, James employees have this week been to the Nordschleife, though we cannot at this time give too many details away.

It was a lovely holiday.

No it wasn't.

James are eagerly anticipating the Goodwood Festival of Speed later in the quarter, where we hope to announce more long term plans as well as the rolling demonstration of the James Corden. And it better go well, we are driving down all the way from Glasgow for it.

Previous Budget
6200cr
Q2 Budget

The Volpe HQ hired a new economy assistant today, Inga from Sweden. On her first day in office she made an economy file in Excel to help the company keep track of the financial situation (as well as the current game date). Due to the assistant being from Sweden, there are some Swenglish terms here and there...

 

[Pezzarinho17]

Not 1 quarter in and James nearly had it's own expenses debacle! I omitted my dealership expansion from my Q2 report which has been bodged nicely by James, my saucy secretary.
