Welcome to SKY Industries If it's ugly, but it works, and it works well, it's probably one of ours. (Creator of the Titan Prerunner) I've been editing quite a lot of my vehicles with features you normally wouldn't find in an Automation car for quite a while now, and I figured I'd go ahead and make this post about them Here's the current bunch of edited vehicles which I have ready Note: Some of these vehicles I've just updated recently; if the car you get is missing features, just wait a bit for the update to become public Spoiler: SKY Ranger XT - The experimental guinea pig This thing is sorta my testing vehicle, for all sorts of insanity. At first, it had every single bit of technology that Automation had (VVL/VVT, turbocharging, electric LSD, etc). Then, I added a buttload of hydros to the suspensions, giving it 4-wheel steering, and active wheel camber; the further you turn the steering wheel, the more the wheels will camber In that direction, allowing improved grip and tire wear on turns, but the grip and straight-line performance of a non-cambered wheel. It's even got a CVT, because of course, it's got to have all the technology Link: https://www.beamng.com/resources/sky-ranger-xt-aaws.7676/ Spoiler: SKY Sprint - The unusual econobox The Sprint was my attempt at making a highly-efficient yet powerful hot hatch. It does this by use of a supercharged 1.2-liter boxer-4 engine hooked to a CVT in an RR configuration, rather than the more "normal" FF configuration. The supercharger actually de-clutches itself when under 4,000 RPM, and thus keeping the engine below this RPM will improve efficiency notably. However, past 4,000, the supercharger abruptly kicks in and pushes the vehicle on rapidly. It produces somewhere around 200 horsepower, yet maintains 40 MPG Link: https://www.beamng.com/resources/sky-sprint.7104/ Spoiler: SKY Flash - The nimble hot hatch (4-wheel steering disabled in this image) The Flash is a fast and agile lightweight FF hot hatch, which ingeniously combats FWD understeer by use of a 4-wheel steering system. The rear wheels rotate opposite the front, to a limited degree. This makes the car capable of rapid and effective higher-G turns when compared to the usual car. It's turbocharged 1.6-liter i4 mated to a 6-speed sequential transmission gives it 261 horsepower and 37 miles per gallon Link: https://www.beamng.com/resources/sky-flash-vtec-4ws.7848/ Spoiler: SKY Titan Prerunner - The ultimate baja truck The Titan Prerunner is a baja truck I made with intensive editing. The suspensions have been tuned over 30 times over the past month (with total time spent working on the truck likely exceeding 20 hours), and the most recent updates removing the truck bed and bumpers and placing a prominent rollcage in the rear. It simply glides over terrain and lands jumps with almost no significant impact jolt, bottom-out, or rebound whatsoever. I will confidently call this truck the best Automation offroader ever built. It also comes with a utility variant with a torquey twincharged 5.8-liter i4 mounted onto a semi-automatic transmission Link: https://www.beamng.com/resources/titan-prerunner.7261/ Spoiler: SKY Speedster 3000 GT - The sporty Japanese funmobile The Speedster was a car I designed exclusively to have the most fun handling. It's a quick and nimble Japanese-styled sports car which remains fairly stable in sustained drifts, however will quickly right itself should you ask it to. It uses a rear wheel drive setup that can send 5% of the engine torque to either front wheel in case it's necessary, and the rear drive wheels can steer about 3 degrees to either direction in order to combat oversteer and help "push" the car into and out of a turn Of course, the front styling is inspired by the Toyota FT-1 concept.

It is a late '90s American muscle car with a supercharged 4.8-liter crossplane V8 producing upward of 450 horsepower. It's huge, bulky, heavy, has an automatic transmission and wheelspins like a locomotive, with it's only redeeming quality being how well it does a 1.5-mile oval. Could it be any more American?
