Behold! The monster! While visiting the in-laws I had time to rework My GTP VGT submission, creating the
Vision
Gran
Turismo
Planet
Turbo
Twin, or VGTP-TT for short. Lower weight, further streamlined, further differentiated from the Statos, and an innovative 2-engine design.
Designed to answer a few questions, like how do we create a turbo two-stroke within the size constraints. As every turbo 2-stroke I've seen so far is actually bigger/heavier than their 4 stroke counterparts, I struggled with the question of how we get the 3 almost contradictory systems (hybrid, turbo and 2 stroke) into a car the size of a miata? The answer? Mounting a V4 Naturally Aspirated engine directly behind the driver and behind that instead of a turbo in the traditional sense, a Turboshaft (based on the Rolls-Royce RR500TS) engine is connected through a CVT to the main driveshaft
.
Technically a hybrid, technically a turbo, technically a 2 stroke v4.
The car is generally powered solely by the AAEN Racing based V4 whilst moving through turns to keep engine response nimble. The car also employs the Rolls-Royce turboshaft to deliver an extra 500 HP activated through either the NOS button, or automatically engaging in gears 6 though 8, making the combined output a whopping 800shp. The normal weight of the combined engines would weigh only 300 pounds, but by utilizing the latest in material technology weight can be reduced further to a scant 200-250 pounds (~100kg). The main driveshaft is then mated to an 8 speed sequential manual based on designs from the ZF 8HP90.
Still implementing Active Suspension and advanced ground effects (the narrower power/drivetrain allows for even more exaggerated venturis on either side) and underbody intake, and a larger more active wing, this car should handle well for even the most skittish driver. New features also include active canards placed before the front wheels which transition into the fenders and further streamlined rear wheels.
Other returning features are the ever popular pop-up headlights and rear louvers, and the doors have been changed from gull-wing to suicide doors and a sliding canopy (the entire cockpit canopy slides forward as the doors open for easy access for even the tallest drivers). The driver's seat is placed in the center of the vehicle along the transmission/powertrain line for better weight distribution.
Also the car has a voice. When the door is open the car will tell you in a women's voice "Car door is ajar". When it's running low on fuel it will say "Fuel level is low". It does this because it can. The exhaust is straight pipe tuned for a guttural exhaust note. Imagine Darth Vader making car noises. This will be better than that. Heat generated from braking will be recovered, and sent to the cup holder, turning it into a hotplate. Your coffee will always be warm. Unless it's an iced coffee. If you have a cold drink, the car will know. The heat will go somewhere else. Maybe Canada. It's cold here.
Net Weight (wet) ~ 800kg
Net Power (combined) ~ 800hp
Net Awesome ~ 1.5 trm (totally radical man)
