Technically not wrong, the DeLorean and the A310 got the same V6 PRV engine block (but the A310 was much lighter and got a way better gearbox). The A310 pack GT (the white one seen on a photo), was an actual rear-mounted engine (center of mass of the block behind the rear axle, RWD), a nightmare to drive under heavy rain, but otherwise the handling was correct on a dry road.
I honestly love the look of it, and it doesn't sound half bad either. Make it RWD, get rid of the 1st gen Viper wheels and sort the horrible suspension, and I'd buy it.

I can give some of the tips on building a proper soviet car. Chassis and other mechanical stuff: 1. Simple technologies in everything, so you can reassemble the car in literal field. 2. Engine tuned to run on worst fuel possible. If it's the people's car, it's powered by MIGHTY "ONE POINT SOMETHING INLINE FOUR" If it's luxury/KGB car - it can be literally anything below, like, 6 liter V8. 3. Capable of going offroad, but not a real offroader, RWD, manual 3-5. 4. You can rise up a quality a little, soviets knew how to slap cars together. Body and fixtures. 1. Four door sedan, most of the cars had that type in Soviet Union. 2. Any body from 50s to 80s. Interior: pre-70s - everything is made of metal. Past 70s - black or beige plastic. 3. - How much chrome trim do we want? - Yes. Naming. The brand name: Pick first letter (or first 3 letters) from random ex-soviet city name and add "AZ". (AZ stands for "automobile zavod", or "automobile factory". Actually, you can add "AF" instead) Model name: 3 or 4 random numbers. May add some random russian noun. For example: UAZ 469, KamAZ 5320, RAF 2203 Latvia. hope this will be useful.
Here’s a tip: In a FWD vehicle, if you start to spin, floor the throttle when you countersteer, the torque steer will end up counteracting the spin. It’s the complete opposite from RWD, but it works. In FWD touring cars, it’s a genuine technique to counteract a spin.
You'll probably find this funny Grog. Back in the 80s my dad worked in the workshop at the local Renault dealer. Saw his fair share of weirdness, his favourite was the Renault 4's gear linkage that starts at the front of the engine, goes straight up, goes directly across the top of the engine and protrudes from the middle of the dashboard. They, apparently, were one of the first to get hold of a Renault Alpine/GTA in the UK. Obviously the mechanics were all very excited to have a go of this thing, but first, they put it on the dyno. Didn't strap the thing down correctly and it broke free and fired straight through the back wall of the workshop.
The Helicron is probably the one that takes the cake. Front mounted propeller. It has no gas pedal, no transmission. Instead it just has a lever to control throttle. It has rear wheel steering.
French guy here and I gotta say... this is actually so accurate for a 1975-1980 French sports car 😂 This car is as if an Alpine was designed by Citroën and everything that made the Alpine great was ruined by Citroën's "avant-garde" design choices : weird-looking as hell, even more weirdly-made mechanically-speaking, can drive on three-wheels for some reasons, no kind of drivability or sportiness whatsoever... I also get some Matra Murena in it in the sense that it looks fast and sounds great but is dreadfully slow with like 110 HP maximum. Anyway, it is definitely more accurate than you think 😭😂 (btw, horse power in French is "chevaux moteurs" = horse engines... yeah don't ask)
@@RedCobraQC "Chevaux-vapeurs" also exists indeed but I've heard more often "chevaux-moteurs" personally. It might be a regional thing. But "horse steams" is also weird anyway 😂
Be British-Leyland, but make good cars and use things that represent their car designs as much as possible. Now, BLM did have some nice looking cars. Remember, they owned Triumph which made some pretty cars, they owned Jaguar, and they had the Rover SD1, and the original Mini's which were successful rally cars. But, I would like to see something like the Austin Princess turned into a hot-hatch.
Being honest, France did have some cool cars during the 80's and 90's. Years ago my grandpa had a 2-door Renault 11. It had a simple yet beautiful design :)
Misato Katsuragi is perhaps one of the most based characters in anime history for driving a beautiful car like the A310. I imagine that her A310 was upgraded by Nerv of course, or at least she upgraded it a lot with her paycheck, what with it being a vehicle they had to get working again after Second Impact and all, and since its got a sequential shifter it can't be electric despite all the batteries in the back seat. Now, Misato in Rebuild is a bit less based for driving instead a Mazda Cosmo Sport 110, but just driving a Cosmo still makes her incredibly based. Edit: Not only that, but the Rebuild animators are ultra based for getting every tiny detail of the Cosmo correct, all the way down to the four flat bolts in the shifter boot ring.
My favorite thing about Renault is when they decided to sell the 5 here in the states, instead of calling it the 5 they called it the Renault Le Car. I’m glad I’m not joking.
11:30 i think the engine braking makes the front wheels slower than the back and because all the weight is in the back its like 'Oh C'est trés mal!!' and does a 360. Now I think about it Peugeot 360 would be a fitting name.
That's an accurate portrail of french automotive engineering, Le Car had horrible suspension. French cars here where I live are known for needing a new suspension with every couple of oil changes
Make the beigemobil next, everything is beige, wheels beige, doors beige and make the engine so small and inefficient and boring it may as well be beige. Basically just make it as boring and beige as possible.
Make the turbo THE car in Automation. (just a giant single turbo on wheels, a hidden engine with no sounds, a lawn chair on top, a steering wheel and pedals, 1,000,000 psi, loudest noises from the turbo you can possibly make and godmode wheels so they don't fly off and become a bayblade and so much horsepower that the hidden v16 is on the verge of dying.)
This is very fun to watch as a French you should do a citroen like car "sm" or "ds" that can be fun cuz the technology of these car are scaring elon's rocket
Automation idea: Please make one of those VERY low pickups that are very loud and make LOTS of black smoke 🙏🏼 (btw I made the car with that body yesterday) 🥖FRENCH ACCENT IS BEAUTIFUL🥖
As a fellow Brit, I'd like to point out a thought. This a French car. Try racing it in reverse. Or maybe put a pink car infront of it and get itnto waggle it's pop up headlights.
"That's why the french don't make sports cars." What do you mean? There's the 9x8... Oh wait, that was weird too with the lack of rear wing that DIDN'T WORK AT ALL.
What we've learned: When developing a French car, have every design choice make you ask "why in the world would i even do this" and then follow it up with "it's genius"
11:08 the gen alpha level brainrot of this car has now reached the lap counter as it displayed 9 minutes 60 seconds briefly before it went, "oh yeah, I forgot, that's not how timey-secondy things work!"
I wonder how accurately you can make an Australian car. Pro tip, if you're making it in the 50s or 60s, it needs to be a good 5 or so years behind the American styling trend...oh, and it MUST be RWD and able to drive on dirt
1970s-2000s French « sports » car : inline 4 diesel, 115 hp. But it has a huge 2 LITRES 16 valves badge. Front-wheel drive of course because we only know this. Starting mid-80s it is also very proud of its direct injection.
It's a Corvette c4, a 300zx, and at the same time a french DeLorean.
What a beautiful car
It’s basically an alpine A310 😂
Technically not wrong, the DeLorean and the A310 got the same V6 PRV engine block (but the A310 was much lighter and got a way better gearbox).
The A310 pack GT (the white one seen on a photo), was an actual rear-mounted engine (center of mass of the block behind the rear axle, RWD), a nightmare to drive under heavy rain, but otherwise the handling was correct on a dry road.

4. You can rise up a quality a little, soviets knew how to slap cars together.
Body and fixtures.
1. Four door sedan, most of the cars had that type in Soviet Union.
2. Any body from 50s to 80s.
Interior: pre-70s - everything is made of metal. Past 70s - black or beige plastic.
3. - How much chrome trim do we want?
- Yes.
Naming.
The brand name: Pick first letter (or first 3 letters) from random ex-soviet city name and add "AZ". (AZ stands for "automobile zavod", or "automobile factory". Actually, you can add "AF" instead)
Model name: 3 or 4 random numbers. May add some random russian noun.

"The car terminally oversteers, I highly doubt that"

I'm willing to bet, that this is NOT the weirdest French car ever made.

It has no gas pedal, no transmission. Instead it just has a lever to control throttle.
