In the upcoming weeks mod approvals could be slower than normal.
Thank you for your patience.

    Wow I havent uploaded a mod since January and nothing new at all for like a year.
    Damn.

    I did make about one car per month but everything is "finished", nothing is really "polished"....
    But before it will be even more outdated, i just upload it. Looking at Automation mods, its either really well made nowadays or its from a guy who knows nothing at all and makes the same shit as in 2016, So I guess i'm okay with a middle ground.

    Turion was a small engineering company that made really tech focused and sleek sporst cars in low numbers for not too long. The Turion Type 3 was made in 3 Versions from 2007 to 2012, but after the recession in 2008, sales just never really recovered and so the went out of business in 2013, after being unable to produce a car for a whole year.

    The three versions are:

    The S3, the base model of the series, features a twin turbo charged 3.3l V6, making 500ish horsepower and a relatively high amount of torque.
    Its a less emotional (cause sound and character) engine than a Ferrari V8 for example, but technically better (economy, torque curve, accelleration etc etc) engine.

    The T3 is the turbocharged Version of the S3, which makes absolutely no sense since tzhe S3 is a twinturbo too, but Turion anted to keep the modelname in line with the others and also the T3 is MORE Turbocharged. And also has a 3.9l V6...
    Bigger intake, bigger intercooler, bigger Variable Turbos with more boost and a bigger exhaust.
    The V6 pushes out 750hp and 1000NM of torque. It has bigger aero and the T3 is AWD.

    In 2010, because of the high cost of making a tiny amount of those V6 engines, Turion started to use an outside-sourced V8, rename the S3 as the V8, which was their only car at that time too, but change like half the parts of the V8 and give it a tuneup to make 520ish horsepower. That didn't really save too much cost since Turion deemed the quality bad and thus improved too many parts of the engine and had to manufacture those.
    They also hoped that the V8 sound would boost sales, especially in the US, arabian countries and Asia. But... didn't work quite out either.
