Cars The Need For Speed

[Mirta27]

I'm certain multiple US 993 owners removed the basked handle despite knowing that they could get ticketed by the police for it. The US Countach is rather notorious for these owner-installed EU-spec modifications at least.

Maybe that's how the police chases start in TNFS, they see you driving without a basket handle and you don't want to pay the ticket

No wonder if they made you drive around like this:

This was supposedly done, and I quote from the website where I found this picture:
"in service of minimum front bumper height requirements."......

i like how their idea of increasing safety is to completely block the headlights

Looks like a blade for slicing pedestrians.

The 993 looks great btw. Does anybody know, if wing animations are supported in vanilla AC or only with Shaders Patch?

There were Wings Animations in Vanilla AC (Audi R8, Porsche(s), LaFerrari, McLaren P1...)

Funny you say "regular" and those are the 4S and the S versions

Good point What I meant was regular = euro. As far as I understand the handle was only standard in US on Targas and Convertibles but optional on all models. I have not seen it on any (Carrera, S, 4S) Euro 993 Coupes.

Road & Track 993 Review (includes a ZR1, NSX comparison)

p.s

Beautiful work on the rear wing A3DR.

new cars will never be like this ever again

Little bit of simple texturing before doing the inside of each lens

Would this make it euro spec?

I realise it was probably a joke I didn’t get but the differences on the exterior seem very minor. US spec has additional black plastic bumperettes on front and rear. Also, as someone stated before, american cars were required to have 3rd brake light which was addressed by adding bucket handle or roof spoiler with integrated braking light. Every US car had to have at least one of the two.
EU spec had typical fender mounted side blinkers just behind the front wheel arch. Blinkers on the rear light bar had orange lenses.

These are some photos of the US spec roof spoilers:

We've been talking about this on previous posts, and to avoid any more confusion, I'm not going to add anything else to it for now (and yes it was a joke )

Quick texturing on the rear lights. Gonna have to do some weird magic here to get a good effect on these kind of taillights, with AC's not having any refractions.

Great job! Wow! I live about 1km from a used Porsche dealer/repair shop and the owner has a 993 almost the exact same color that sits outside the shop every now and then. Can't wait to get this thing out on the LAC.

It loves the canyons...

Love how well the taillight strip has come out

I can already see the epic stance this will have once it properly sits on the wheels with the susp.data - you captured the essence of this car.

Even if they look good, don't get carried away, there's still lots of work to be done to give them a proper "depth" effect. Key is to have good textures to start with.
Here are a couple more shots with a bit of texture tweaking, wasn't so happy about the alignment betwen the side and center strip

Nice. Tail lights were pretty complicated back in the day. Now, the're mostly just some leds...

 

[aphidgod]

Alright, I'm back from vacation and ready to get this thing wrapped up. Managed to tidy up all the files last night, there's still maybe some damper work to do (always damper work to do) and I need to implement the retractable spoiler, but otherwise... ready when you are, @A3DR .

Gotcha. We'll see how it goes in the next couple of weeks, might have some extra time to deal with this one.

 

[A3DR]

Bit of details to the front lights, textures might need some tweaking when inside AC, will do the same process for the rear later on.
