Confession of an Automationeer, Part 115: A Birthday Gift

Confession of an Automationeer, Part 115: A Birthday Gift

In the previous post, I introduced you to the website that spawned the CEL Challenge, where you are required to build a car in Automation based on a randomly generated set of requirements, including a specific class, era and location. With this in mind, I clicked on the Spin All button, and ended up with a 1990s British sports car. As promised, the resulting build will be the subject of this post, so here it is: the 1995 Wolfram Warhawk GTS. I am presenting this in celebration of my 30th birthday - I originally made this for the 2022 Automation Virtual Car Meet which I also mentioned earlier in this series, but the time has come for it to get its own post.

Above from top: This is the Wolfram Warhawk GTS - a British sports car of the 1990s, which I had built as part of my own personal CEL Challenge.

The Warhawk is powered by an all-aluminum, 5.0-liter, naturally aspirated, 32-valve, dual-overhead-cam 90-degree cross-plane V8 delivering 400 horsepower and 350 foot-pounds of torque to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox and a mechanical limited-slip differential.

Above from top: The interior of the Warhawk. The gaps in the windows are due to my decision to use the same glass material for all the trim slots (except for the underbody) as the windows themselves, giving a very airy feel.

Here is an overview of the trim setup of the Warhawk:

This concludes our showcase of a CEL Challenge build. And, as I have stated before, it's my 30th birthday, so don't forget to send me your best wishes!
