READ THE OP! GTP Cool Wall Nomination Thread [Always accepting more cars!]

[Jet Badger]

For the torque range, go with 88-204 lb-ft. 738 lb-ft is roughly equal to 1000 Nm.

He doesn't believe in using lb-ft. Not that it isn't simple enough to convert it myself when polling day comes around.

Additional info: I'm only suggesting pre facelift version because it deserves SU!!!

In case you didn't read the , the additional info section is for the posting of facts about the vehicle nominated, not for the nominator to tell others how to vote...

Not a big deal, but expect to be disappointed if you try to list your additional info as such.

 

[Wiegert]

Anybody including similarly irrelevant "additional info" needn't bother as I'll flat-out omit it from any polls. As was the case with Neddo's recent Hellcat nomination.

Spoiler: Additional Info

Additional Info: The final hot Falcon to be developed by Prodrive-owned Ford Performance Vehicles (FPV) before the company's closure in late 2014, the GT F is hotly debated by Australian enthusiasts from both Ford and Holden camps, and also created controversy surrounding its power figures.

Badged "351[kW]" as a homage to the classic Falcons that made names for themselves in Australian Touring Cars and on the famous Mount Panorama circuit, FPV admitted to GT Falcons equipped with the Coyote-based "Miami" supercharged V8 as "having more potential than the number suggests." An overboost feature brings its already-impressive power figure up to a potential 404kW (542hp), providing that conditions aren't too harsh. When dyno'd for motoring.com.au in July of 2014, the GT F was actually producing more power to the wheels than its arguable main rival, the Holden Special Vehicles GTS (advertised at 430kW).

In other areas, the GT F also scored the suspension, tyre and brake upgrades from the limited-edition GT R-Spec to handle the extra power along with a unique stripe livery while still containing the now-traditional FPV "raccoon eyes" on the front fascia, and a whole host of GT F logos emblazoned over the body and interior just in case you didn't know this was the Final Falcon GT.

It's pretty obvious where this is headed, but honestly; cars don't get much more concept than this.

1970 Ferrari 512S Modulo

Body Style: 1-door concept car
Engine: 5.0 L V12
Power Output: 550 hp
Torque: Unknown
Weight: 900 kg
Transmission: 5-speed manual
Drivetrain: Rear Mid-Engine, rear-wheel-drive
Additional Information: Made by Pininfarina, this was based on one of the 25 512 S racers Ferrari built for homologation purposes. Over this racing chassis Pininfarina very tightly draped a squarish and ultra-low body. All wheels were partly covered, which made it impossible to turn the front wheels. One of the most striking features is the canopy style roof that slides forward to allow access to the cabin. The 550 bhp V12 engine could be admired through 24 big holes in the engine cover. Pininfarina received universal acclaim and multiple awards for the striking concept that still dazzles the crowds 35 years after its launch. Pininfarina retained the car and has showcased it on numerous events allowing many generations to appreciate the exceptional design.

Spoiler: Additional Information

The TVR Tuscan Speed Six is in essence a convertible in which two people and their luggage could go on holiday for a month with creature comforts like air conditioning and power steering but without the car weighing much more than 1000kg. It has TVR's own straight six engine and has a novel roof design whereby, despite looking like a fixed head coupe, it is able to stow its roof and rear window in the boot, while still leaving room for luggage. No computers have been used in the styling of the car and TVR's team of stylists, led by Damien McTaggert but with the close involvement of Chairman Peter Wheeler, took two years sculpting the shape of this future classic.

There are a number of advantages in designing a car in the manner that TVR does. Sculpting and developing the shape solely by hand is an inordinately time-consuming business. Just as one only truly appreciates the lines of a car when one washes it, so it is TVR's belief that one can only really get to grips with the design of a car over a long period of time. Furthermore, it is impossible to control a surface as subtly on a computer screen as when sculpting the car by hand. It is with this in mind that one should view the new Tuscan. When a vehicle is mass-produced the tooling takes longer to develop than the styling but that is categorically not the case here. The whole philosophy at TVR is that the shape of the car comes first so the constraints of conventional industry thinking have not been an issue.

While it might be possible to say that the exterior design of the car is relatively extravagant in concept, TVR has taken a minimalist approach to the interior. The very highest quality components have been used and once again, function has determined form. The curved aluminium top to the dash, for example, actually acts as one of the transverse strengthening beams for the car. The pedal box, again hand made from extremely high quality components, is left on show as it would be a shame to hide craftsmanship like it and it also serves to make individual fittings for customers that much easier.

The styling of the car has been very much influenced by the fact that it has a straight six mounted between the front wheels and it is this engine which is the heart of the car. Straight sixes have somewhat gone out of fashion because they cannot be mounted transversely, be it in the front, middle or back of the car. However, TVR's adherence to the true course of sportscar manufacture, i.e. mounting the engines in the front to drive the rear wheels, makes it possible to use this most classic of sportscar engines. However, while one eye has been on the past in terms of the tradition of the layout, the other has been resolutely forward as the engine is very much up to date. Gruelling tests over the last three and a half years have shown its performance and reliability in Tuscan prototypes as well as the Cerbera Speed Six. Furthermore, in its doubled up, twelve cylinder form, the engine has seen competition in the mighty Speed Twelve.

One of the inherent characteristics of a straight six is that it can be perfectly balanced. The all aluminium engine breaks away from the TVR mould in that it has a number of new features. It is the first of TVR's own engines to feature a four valves per cylinder head which gives higher volumetric efficiency at high rpm which helps to give it its sporty nature. Furthermore it has finger followers which allow higher valve accelerations which improve the engine's torque. It also has chain driven twin overhead camshafts for a quiet reliable drive. However, it also features a grade of high quality components and a level of high technology design on a parallel with its eight and twelve cylinder sisters.

[Neddo]

Hello @Wiegert
Is it possible to suggest this

Independently or as part of general R34 suggestion? Here's some info why it's not usual tuner

Nismo then purchased 20 used R34 GT-R V·spec, each with less than 18,000 miles (29,000 km) on the clock, they were then completely stripped and were resprayed to a "Z-tune Silver," a special color exclusively for the Z-tune.[27] For each of the 20 production models, the 2.8 L engine was revised to allow it to reach 8000 rpm. The turbochargers were supplied by IHI in Japan. The engine is advertised as making as much as 370 kW (500 hp) (for warranty reasons). This second revision of the Z-tune engine is called the 'Z2'. The bodywork is designed with the same functional components used inNismo's GT500 racing cars, such as engine bay vents on the hood and fenders, as well as wider fenders for wider wheels. The Z-tune is also improved with an aggressive suspension setup from Sachs, and a specially designed Brembohand brake system.

The entire car is essentially handmade, with the car being completely stripped and re-built from the chassis up. Engineers reinforced and stiffened the chassis seam welding in key areas such as the door seams and door frames and added carbon fiber to the strut towers and transmission tunnel and the engine bay, completely redesigning the suspension, drivetrain, engine, gearbox and other components so as to work at maximum efficiency and reliability as is expected of a road-going vehicle. Although Nismo planned on building 20 cars, they ceased production on only 19 (including 2 prototypes).[28] The Z-tune is often regarded as the most expensive (prices for some have been known to exceedUS$290,000) street legal GT-R ever built.

 

[Roger the Horse]

@Neddo, the N1 R34 was already polled in 2010. Surprisingly it seems other R34s haven't been polled since. A poll for other R34 models could possibly include the Z-tune, but I am unsure whether or not the Z-tune would be eligible for polling on the grounds of it being by most standards a tuner car, albeit one created by a division of Nissan itself. It's a borderline case, and personally I'd allow it, but ultimately it's up to @Wiegert.

 

[Wiegert]

While the OP states that tuner specials count as modified vehicles (which are prohibited), that hasn't stopped the N1 and the odd Shelby from gracing the wall over the years. And while I can't say exactly how long that rule has been enforced up until now, personally I would only allow models that are modified by official performance divisions of major manufacturers. Otherwise I probably would have rejected the recently nominated FPV which is currently sitting in the queue.

As for the Z-tune, it would be eligible as a standalone nomination. Although I would still suggest adding it to a nomination that includes the remaining R34 models (with the exception of the N1) to simplify matters. I doubt that voting patterns would differ much between a comprehensive R34 poll and lone Z-Tune equivalent anyway. But who knows.
