New version of Automation, new version of the only real-life car I ever made in it. My oldtimer. The stats are the same as the 1.0 version, the engine is pretty much the same, except with a more lazy cam profile, resulting in a more torque-y power curve, giving it a little extra ooomph at low RPM, helping with acceleration, shaves about 2 seconds off the 1 - 100kph time, compared to the 1.0 version. You will still hit a wall at around 142-145kph, but 72 horsepower only goes so far, even in a sub-1 tonne car. The car is a nice driving car, performance is comparable to one of the '60s American I6 engined cars, like the basic Bluebuck (but without constant overheating uphill), a little bit oversteer-y (as it should be, real life Taunus is quite oversteer-y when pushed too far in curves) and pulls very well even uphill, up to around 100kph. Then you'll start feeling the lack of power, when you upshift past 3rd gear.
Bodywork is more close-to-reality, in my opinion, since I had a chance to play around with some new body molds in the new version of Automation. Wheels fit the chassis better, the hubcaps are closer to correct shape, the front grille is more closely based on the real thing, etc.
