When I first downloaded this car, I saw the exhausts and said, "Surely, this is a joke. That's so silly, why would the mod authors do that to this car?"

And then I looked it up, and the dang thing literally came like that.

Absolutely amazing. Model is also very well-done, and handles great. As in, accurately; it can and will get out of hand fast if you're not careful! It's more like driving an armored vehicle than a race car.

Only small nitpick is that the custom sound is a bit "meh," and overly loud; it tends to drown out every other car nearby. That's fairly minor, though.

What an exotic car. Feels good at driving but racing it is another story. You want to attack but you can't and still you try to push and ut's always on the limit. And that bewitching sound keeps you focused on..fun and joy. A really special and enjoyable experience. Quality is excellent. Thanks for this sharing of your love and passion for cars and motorsport.

While the car choice is interesting and overall mesh is not bad (As it is from an external source I heard), there is some improvement to be done to the materials and config. I suggest taking a look at what KS and good modders do in terms of conventions.

Sound wise, it is somewhat lacking, but I will not take it negatively into account in my review, because I understand the complications of producing a sound. It's good there was an attempt at a custom sound and it works.

The reason for the Poor review is the complete lack of understanding of even basic physical concepts.

As it is as of version 1.01 the car is not mechanically realistic in the slightest, made incorrectly suspension and tire wise and generally is unlikely to work as it should. A common theme in this group's mods. I would advise the authors to read something like basic mechanics textbooks and educate themselves at least on the basics of suspension geometry even via online videos and texts, and to ask questions. I can refute any of my points if need be.

New cars are great, but the oldies are the best. This one is just pure fun....take it around the Nordschleife if you dare.

Well, I don't understand. This is a fatty, lazy, clumsy and (a bit) ugly old lady... good lord, I love it! This thing is unreasonably funny (and challenging), how is that possible?!
Fantastic sound, even the little "details". Bravi!

There is something wrong with audio, it sounds way too loud and the sound is dimmed/muffled in really strange way. Also car behaves unnaturally when rear tires lose grip. I think that suspension geometry might be wrong as car is unconsistent with its behaviour. But I'm giving 4 stars anyways. I love Tatra 603, especially ones with 3 headlights and unusual touring cars is what I race most in games. In other words, great mod, download it, have fun, but take in consideration that it still needs some work.

we are working on physics update, it will be released probably next week. And the issues with sound were described in "discussion", check it out, maybe it will help you.

I can't give this any less than five stars, but I must say that I enjoyed v1.0 more than v1.1. Is it only me or does the updated version feel a lot more civilized? Before the update, you really got the feeling that this is a car that is trying to murder you, and that's pretty much in lines with my expectations for the Tatra.

pretty nice looking and the sound is nice. However driving the car is not pleasant and extremely frustrating at times. The vehicle behavior doesn't make any sense. At first I thought, maybe I'll get used to it, but no. It just feels wrong. I am not offended by this, it's just very disappointing. I hope that you will consider working with Arch/Kyuubee, because I know that with some reasonably realistic data, this could be an awesome mod.

as I mentioned previously, physics will get update soon and yes, we are working with Arch/Kyuubee now on it so I hope in the end everybody will be happy.

This car sounds fantastic, it's beautiful to behold, there's just something about it that is right. It's no modern race car, but it's not pretending to be. It drives really well. Thank you Trained Monkey Modding!
