About/Lore: Hirochi wants a car that can compete well against the Civetta Scintilla, so there is the Sunstorm (naming got some mild inspiration from the Sunburst, mild inspiration from my very old Automation mod too with the same namesake particularly the V10). It is essentially a SBR4 that has its chassis heavily modified (and the rear interior removed) from a rear-engined car to a mid-engine car while retaining most of its suspension and anything outside the engine bay.
REQUIRED MODS (If you don't have them the mod will NOT work): KLJP, KLJP CORE MOD, Ibishu T-150X Wheel
As @Selmarya reported in the thread, DO NOT USE IT WITH @Theo Wilkinson 's Hirochi SBR4 Facelift, it WILL break the game.
DISCUSSION THREAD
Features:
- Customized engine body for midship layout (with correct engine JBeam), KLJP SBR4 body-based
- 5.2L V10 (based on the Audi R8's V10 engine)
- 6.2L OHV V8 (based on the GM's LT2 engine but with a different manifold design, reused assets from my Civetta Bolide LS7 mod)
- 4.0L DOHC V8 (Based on the Audi's 4.2 NA V8 and 4.0 TT V8, reused some assets from the 6.2, with ETK heads and Scintilla Pulleys)
- Reinforced Suspension coilovers
- 3 types of brakes with 4 different colors (Normal, Ceramic, Race with Red/Blue/Yellow/Gray color options)
- Widened wheels and tires to accommodate more power
- Adjusted Rollcage
- Enlarged Fuel Tank (Yes with model adjustments)
- Custom lettering by @Javascript_

Credits:
- BeamNG for the base assets for me to build new engine models
- @Kueso @LJ74 for giving me the permission to use the KLJP SBR4 body as a basis for me to modify it into a real supercar
- @Javascript_ for the Sunstorm Lettering, as well as the new standardized photoroom light previews for (most of) the configs (except the Hybrid V8 TT)
- @Nicelittle for the muffler fixes as well as the body-rear bumper texture fixes
- (3.0) @Bentonchiez for the engine sounds
- (3.0) @Derpitron and @PRC0 for the Alternate Coupe Body and its parts (as well as some screenshots)
Next plans:
- Add hybridized configs (and modelled batteries too?) Available in 2.0
- Twinchargers for both V8 and V10, Supercharger for V10 Available in 2.0
- Per @Derpitron 's request, I will develop a SBR4 Coupe-based body to convert into mid engine (will NOT overlap the existing Sunstorm chassis) Available in 3.0, potential revamp is in the future
- 6.0L Twin Turbo Diesel V12 (600 hp, 800 lb-ft), with a config.
Known issues:
- Muffler tips flapping around (Believe it or not it used to be MUCH worse) (FIXED IN 2.1)
- Skins do not work (KLJP SBR4 body also have the same problem)
- Sometimes you might not be able to see the textures, try spawn the Bolide first and it will solve itself (FIXED IN 2.0)
- Tailgate for the Alternate coupe body does not work, will be fixed in revamp for alternate coupe body
Note: "Subete" means "All" in Japanese for AWD in Sunstorm models, similar to how "Quattro" for 4-wheel drive for Audi R8 cars.
Dismiss Notice
In the upcoming days mod approvals could be slower than normal.

In terms of not explode, beware of the thingy called "maxTorqueRating", and keep in mind it is in Nm of torque (1000 Nm = 737.5 lb-ft)
Also I feel a 6.0L V12 having 1000 hp in NA form is possible (in real life) but you will need very high rpms like something north of 10K RPM.

Tbh I agree to a degree but do notice that the Audi R8 (2nd gen) does have a similar style of grille too.

Agreed. Tbh Scintilla is overrated like most modern Ferraris (except the Ferrari FF), someone's gotta do the job to make the supercar market more diverse in BeamNG.

Tbh. The Scintillas are so overhyped in the community (although I did make a couple engine swap mods to it) to the point that I had to make this mod to do something about it.

Ye that's something I would try to fix since the Bolide-based header system has no center nodes like the exh2, exh3 x-centered nodes to connect hence the potential wobbling.
