Confessions of an Automationeer, Part 247: The Ultimate Summer Toy?
For my last post before my spring vacation in Japan (again - I haven't been there at any time of the year other than summer or fall, so my spring visit will be my first), I'll show you a variant of the 1992 Parana P600 that I somehow haven't yet made - until now. The P600 Spyder (an open-topped roadster variant with a detachable soft top) takes the basic recipe and lops the roof off, with minimal loss of performance, precision, or aesthetics. If anything, it's even more extrovert than the original car, and puts its occupants on display for all the world to see and hear.
Above, from top: Removing the roof from the Parana P600 to create the Spyder variant hasn't diluted its style or performance one bit - on the contrary, it has enhanced it even more.
As I am writing this, the astronomical start of spring is just over a week away; however, it feels like it's summer outside, and in such hot, dry conditions, a car like the P600 Spyder would be the best way to have fun in the sun on four wheels (budget permitting - it still costs $100k AMU in-game, which would've translated to at least $500k in real-life 1992 dollars), at any price point. It may have been reserved for the rich and fortunate few, but those who could've afforded it would not have been disappointed in the slightest.
