This is the Feinch EP-650. If the name sounds similar to something, that’s because it was Fencter before Fencter became its own brand. It’s a 1970’s endurance racer featuring a 5 liter V12 making 600 HP on a race tune. It features a very experimental (for the time) continuously variable transmission (CVT) which results in smooth and constant acceleration. AG1=Lights, AG2=Fog lights , AG3=Clamshell, AG5+VTOL+Trim=Front Doors, AG8=Power On/Off

    Details: 8
    In general pretty good details, beautiful engine, a frame throughout the car, the very well done openable panel. Although the interior is a bit sparse. Watching the rear axel move around does feel like pretty good fun.

    Authenticity: 9
    Look absolutely out of the 80's (although a bit out of the time range written in the challenge post). And the color scheme is pretty cool, Although I bit wider than it should for a prototype at that time.
    Design: 10
    Maybe the front windshield could be flatter, but other than that, the styling is awesome

    Drive: 5
    A mixed feeling. The sprung feels correct, bouncy but controlled. But the tire grip just feels overly grippy and it's overly assisted.

    in total: 32 points

    a gorgeous model. I made it four-wheel drive, and it's just perfect

    so considering this uses a cvt in the 70s and that most cvts use a belt.
    what are the chances of the "gears" slipping
