What technology would be on offer? I'd be willing to give access to 5-10 of our dealerships depending on the usefulness of the technology to BMC.

Lone Star Motor Company Press Release
While sales are being made, it has become apparent that more dealers are needed to deal with the small surplus on the factory end. Following up on reports that LSM vehicles have been spotted in neighboring states, I have decided that we will indulge our neighbors and open dealerships beyond the Texas border. These locations will be in Carlsbad, NM; Oklahoma City, OK; Little Rock, AR; Shreveport, LA; and New Orleans, LA. We are also investing funds into supercharger and diesel technology, as well as further our understanding of many of our components.

That said, the release of our next car may be delayed until 2016 or later. Testing is not going as swimmingly as was hoped, and as the R&D may indicate, some of the components simply are not cutting it. Soon though. Soon.

3720 - Balance
1250 - 5 new dealerships
300 - supercharger
100 - diesel
250 - V8 improvement
100 - Coupe improvement
150 - FR Layout improvement
-----------------------------
1570- Remaining Balance

What technology would be on offer? I'd be willing to give access to 5-10 of our dealerships depending on the usefulness of the technology to BMC.

We have both a Turbocharged and a Supercharged V8, as well as a V12 that has 2 Superchargers and 2 Turbochargers and is rated at around 1100 HP, we also have an AWD platform that can handle a 400 HP 4 Door Sedan

The engines don't really interest me, as we already have a Turbo V8 and NA V12, but the AWD four door saloon platform sounds tempting. Perhaps if I give you access to 7 of our dealerships in return for the use of that platform to develop a new Aquila and BMC's use of 5 dealerships?

Sure, where would the dealerships that I'd be allowed to use be located?

 

[ProjectWHaT]

whoa whoa whoa
If we already paid for an engine or turbo or etc. we don't have to pay for it again?

 

[Beeblebrox237]

Sure, where would the dealerships that I'd be allowed to use be located?

Wherever you want, I haven't gone over locations for all 31 so you can pretty much choose any major city in the world and assume that there's a BMC dealer there.

whoa whoa whoa
If we already paid for an engine or turbo or etc. we don't have to pay for it again?

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.

 

[Jahgee]

whoa whoa whoa

If we do, then I've been doing this game wrong the whole time

I may need to do a hard reset of my company if that's the case

OK, I'll put my cars in the following locations

Well, looks like I've wasted a couple grand :c

I may need to do some recalculating

With JMoney's approval you could probably get that money back.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Now that I think about it, I think I only developed the turbo twice... So that's only 250 credits. Whew.

Oh...I'll be changing my engines then

Nevermind, none of my engines are identical.

I think you have to spend turbo development costs each time you design a new turbocharged engine, but I'm not intimately familiar with your company's financial history so I don't know if you can get the money back or not.

Model Name: Xenocide
Body Style: Coupe
Engines: 7.0 litre V12, turbocharged and electric engine
Drivetrain: RR
Transmission: 6-speed manual
Location of Factory: Chesterfield
Cost of Development: 1700 cr
Brief model description:
The Red Pill Xenocide is a brilliant hybrid supercar, packed with a 910-hp 7.0 litre V12 turbo engine and a 200-hp electric engine. The design was built and tested for the best aerodynamics within 10 months. The Xenocide has the best acceleration out there, with a 0-60 in 2.4 seconds, and as a magnificent top speed of 262 mph. The Xenocide is a great car to show off to other people who are into sportscars, as well as sexy women. Also, the car costs a mere $600,000, but we are only making 17 a year.

Model Name: Vatic
Body Style: Sedan
Engine: 5.5 litre V12, supercharged
Drivetrain: FR
Transmission: 6-speed manual
Location of Factory: Chesterfield, Tokyo
Cost of Development: 1100 cr
Brief model description:
The Red Pill Vatic is so called because it's the performance sedan of the future. Our state of the art Vatic sedan holds an impressive 810-hp 6.0 litre supercharged V12. It also has a 2.9 0-60 time, and is lightweight for it's class too (1350 kg). The design is not as brilliant as our flagship Xenocide, but it also attracts women like a magnet. We won't be outmatched by the likes of AMG and BMW M in at least a decade, but it comes with a price of $350,000. Unlike our flagship, though, we are making 40 a year.

Model Name: Faze
Body Style: Super GT GT500
Engine: 4.5 litre V6, naturally aspirated
Drivetrain: MR
Transmission: 6-speed manual
Location of Factory: Tokyo
Cost of Development: 4800 cr
Brief model description:
Red Pill Racing's Faze Super GT GT500 was made to take a slice of the Super GT cake. The design process was similar to that of the Xenocide, we spent about a year designing it to take down Honda, Nissan and Lexus. The Faze GT500 is equipped with a 491-hp naturally aspirated V6, with a 6-speed manual transmission. Our Faze will make it's debut in the 2016 season, with Lucas Ordonez behind the wheel.

You may have overestimated how much money you get at first

 

[ProjectWHaT]

@All Your Base you only get 10,000 cr as stated in OP

 

[ildd]

You may have overestimated how much money you get at first

And underestimated how much a car should sell for. A 5.5L supercharged V12 sedan, with only 40 made a year solely by human hands, does not cost anywhere near 180k. And neither are practical, either. A 7 and 8 speed manual? lol.

 

[DRIFT3R_X7]

@All Your Base Wow, you have a worse understanding of cars & car values than my Mother

 

[All Your Base]

You may have overestimated how much money you get at first

My bad. I changed the LMP to a Super GT500 and I have 200 cr remaining.

[PsychoMuppet]

2015 is already a very exciting year for ABR, having already opened our Stuttgart factory and released the Widow Maker we are now proud to announce our first "volume" supercar to be produced at a new factory in Detroit.

Model #4 Specifications
Model Name: Brute
Trim Levels: GT, GTS, GT-R
Body Style(s): Coupe
Engine(s): Supercharged 655ci Hemi V8
Drivetrain(s): FR
Transmission(s): 7-speed DCT
6-speed Manual
Location of Factories: Detroit, USA

Description: Finally it comes time to release ABR's first volume supercar (and the first with a back seat). The Brute is a car to compete with other popular cars (Viper, Corvette, Gallardo, 458, etc). It has a massive, Supercharged, V8 engine up front and puts the power down to the back wheels through either a 6-speed Manual or 7-speed DCT (borrowed from ABR's Banshee). This car is the foe of councils around the world as the brutally powerful engine will rip the road (and the tyres) to shreds. The Brute's "Burnout Mode" is very popular with Pirelli, the only company to make tyres large enough.

"The Brute is not just a car, it's a fire-breathing, chest-beating, hairy-backed, ball-tearing, terrifying, carbon fibre cage of testosterone!" - Jeremy Clarkson

Accolades & Achievements Nordschleife -
Development Cost Cost
V8 engine 300cr (extra spent)
Supercharger: 300cr
Semi-Auto Transmission: Same as Banshee
FR Drivetrain: 250cr (extra spent)
Coupe Body Style: 150cr (extra spent)
Total Cost of Development: 1,000cr

Small Factory - Detroit, USA - 1,000cr
Total Invested - 2,000cr

Cash in bank = 1,300cr
