    Hey, im making a lore friendly Lexus IS200/300 a.k.a. Toyota Altezza. It is pessima based, but not because of any deal between Hirochi but because it is nice base to start on, and its quite good for me since i cant model from scratch. The idea is to make it look as much as Altezza as possible while keeping it lore friendly, this car will be Standalone of course. I dont have blueprints for it so all you gotta do with are your imaginations.

    UPDATE:
    After Finn Wilkinson (author of Procyon Centauri) himself commented and gave feedback, the name Procyon FP200 and FP300 are being put on hold, car is now named only Hirochi Tezza, so the plan for LHD is down for now is altezza was RHD JDM only, and i want Tezza to be like this too. Once the naming scheme is settled, the Procyon will come back.

    cuz Procyon? :D yeah, i get it, but like, since i am crazy for the Altezza/IS then i thought, WHY NOT, betetr than those russian meshlaps, and it was Toyota and Lexus, supra is a Hirochi so Toyota is technically Hirochi, Procyon is luxury Hirochi so Lexus is Procyon :D

    Pretty much all crazy Japanese stuff can be a Hirochi,so a Procyon-branded Altezza would make sense at all.Looking forward to your creation bro

    Wouldn't it be more suitable to be named Ibishu?

    No because Ibishu have a saloon the same size as this in the same period (I think) and Ibishu is a generic Japanese brand while Hirochi aims to be Toyota.

    In my opinion simply saying one brand aims to be another doesn't seem to get the whole thing fully covered,as only 2 Japanese brand(3 if you count Procyon)exists in beamng lore and they don't really reflect one single manufacturer in real life. I think the ordinary products that follow the market trends should be classified(or branded I should say)as Ibishu and those off-the-wall works like sport saloons,GTs,roadsters or rear-engined shooting brakes,mostly wouldn't make great marks in the market,could be Hirochis.

    NO, it is a Toyota Altezza inspired car, and i follow lore, Supra was named Hirochi, Hirochi is now toyota for me, and Hirochi has Procyon, Toyota has Lexus, so it just makes sense

    Here you go, front end designed to match the Sunburst design slightly, with the rear featuring a trunk-running rear taillight in addition to the two on the sides. As well as a little mimic of the rear hunch the sunburst has. It isn't entirely reminiscent of the Sunburst, since there would still be another 5 years before it would be released, but it does feature many aspects the Sunburst also uses. If you want anything tweaked/changed/etc just let me know

    You should probably add the trunk taillights, just for more similarities to the real one.
