Most Unreliable Cars and Most Reliable Cars

How short or long of a lifespan for a car can you make using configurations and only vanilla content? Measure the lifespan in distance when driving the car at constant full throttle on the infinite grid map. For the more reliable cars, launch by holding down the throttle then switching to another car momentarily, then switching back to the vehicle you are testing without pressing anything except the reset button on the trip odometer.

I'll start.

Here I've created an unreliable truck that can do a several second burnout WHILE pulling a few tons heavy trailer. I blew a head gasket at 170 mph though. And at 4.2 miles it was confirmed dead, I melted the cylinder walls, damaged the piston rings, and the oil was a few thousand degrees hot.


Configuration attached, unzip it to your vehicles folder in Documents/BeamNG.drive

Also if you remove the radiator from the drag Barstow it will quickly overheat.

 

I don't have any actual configs but I made a drag pickup that would eat the driveshafts unless you launched in 2nd while half throttling. Otherwise, the wheels would jerk and then the driveshafts would snap.

 

Stock Moonhawk. ( works with Burnside and Bastow. ) Get a Stock Moonhawk. Swap the I6 For a V8 ( with stage 3 supercharger ) with a drag gearbox. Stock Radiator. ( Or none )

And then If you don't crash it on stocks Rims. It will over heat.


Or a 4cyl with a huge turbo. No cooling.

This is a pretty cool thread to be honest. Youre Configuration is preety cool. I made one almost the same. But single cab. Offroad bumpers. And rust. OH And a camper shell.

 

From what I've seen you can create pretty quick-to-break-down cars by using all high performance parts but no radiator + maybe a gearbox designed for a lower trim.

 

what about this? an attempt at a stereotype american car. it has a stock radiator, 3 speed auto gearbox, open diff and stage 4 supercharger. the suspension is from the base model, and has the swaybars, shocks, and front brakes removed. not only does it overheat, but you also need to start braking about a kilometre before a corner if you're going at 60 km/h. it literally has ABS without having ABS. also, the suspension never stops bouncing... I could actually make it do a wheelie just from accelerating and braking on stock tires.

 

I got a Grand Marshall with the 5.5L and stage 3 supercharger up to 323kph and it did 7.7km before blowing up

 

Stock 2400 I-Series. Around 200 miles before running out of fuel. Quite sure it could have gone further if i didnt step on the accelerator and leave it like that all day long until i got back from work.

 

LEFT a pessima going for 250 miles and fuel was gone

 

Running out of fuel does not count. Just because you run out of gas in a car in real life does that mean it's unreliable? No, it means that you forgot to fill up the gas tank.

I could make a thread for biggest gas guzzlers, although the Barstow Drag would probably take the prize for that.

 

The top speed configuration of this overheats in about a second if launched in 3rd gear with no radiator or oil cooler, and completely dies after a minute. However with a radiator and oil cooler it will run for hours without issues, though that's because I made the radiator a bit overpowered
