Confessions of an Automationeer, Part 160: If In Doubt, Flat Out

Confessions of an Automationeer, Part 160: If In Doubt, Flat Out

Here's another Automation build I made recently, again not part of a competition, but with a fully detailed interior:

The car shown in these pictures is the 1987 LVC LF2 - a small, light, and affordable sports coupe powered by a 2.0-liter 150bhp all-alloy flat-four driving the rear wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox and limited-slip differential.

To keep costs down, it has a standard interior and sound system, with anti-lock brakes and power steering omitted; however, it still seats four, and has fully independent suspension (struts up front and semi-trailing arms at the rear) tuned for sporty yet stable handling.

All told, this trim level costs just $12,500 AMU (as shown on the detailed stats section of the in-game overview tab) - a bargain for the era. In short, this would have been one of the best value-for-money affordable sports cars of its time, if not all time.
