Allard J2X-C '92
The Allard J2X-C, or the Allard J2X as it is sometimes referred to, was a Group C sports racing car built by Allard in 1992 for use in international sports car racing events. It featured a 3.5-litre Cosworth DFR V8 engine, capable of producing around 580 hp. The J2X-C had bodywork that is more reminiscent of modern Le Mans Prototypes than a conventional Group C car, but the engine proved too weak for the level of downforce, and this, coupled with the fact that Allard Holdings were liquidated during the car's development, severely restricted the J2X and prevented it ever reaching its potential. One car was built.
In the 1980s, Chris Humberstone, whom had a history of designing cars for various Formula One teams, licensed the rights to the Allard name from Alan Allard, the son of the company's founder, Sidney. After a few years of wrangling, the company hired Hayden Burvill from Brun Technics to begin developing the J2X-C. He was joined in 1991 by John Iley, who was hired as the aerodynamicist, and the car was designed to have as little frontal area as possible, giving it a unique look. Although it was originally planned to use a Chevrolet small block-derived V8 engine,[3] the car was instead fitted with a 3.5-litre Cosworth DFR V8 engine, derived from a Formula One engine, which produced around about 580 hp and 400 lb·ft of torque. The gearbox was also from an F1 car; a Leyton House-March Engineering 6-speed sequential manual transmission modified for endurance racing.
The J2X-C used double wishbone suspension, with push-rod actuated coil springs over dampers at both ends of the car; the front suspension was mounted on the carbon-fibre monocoque, whilst the rear suspension was mounted to a carbon-fibre sub-structure that had been designed to allow quick transmission replacement. The car's radical bodywork generated a high amount of downforce; it was calculated to give approximately 5,500 lb (2,495 kg) of downforce at 241 km/h, and 9,778 lb (4,435 kg) at 322 km/h. However, some of the more conventional cars were able to match this level of downforce; the works Toyota TS-010s had a claimed maximum downforce of over 9,500 lb (4,309 kg), for example. It was, however, higher than the works Nissan R91CP, which had a claimed maximum of 6,438 lb (2,920 kg) at 322 km/h, whilst the 1993 Joest-Porsche 962C had a claimed maximum of 5,584 lb (2,533 kg) at 322 km/h.

That explains a lot of things, including its poor performance numbers, that car has a lot of potential wasted.Tsukishima wrote:It just is...Warachia wrote:I'm sorry but how is this mid engined?Tsukishima wrote:

Alfa Romeo 4C '13
The Alfa Romeo 4C is a small, lightweight, rear wheel drive sports car, similar in size to the Alfa Romeo MiTo. It uses a carbon fiber tub, front and rear crash box, and hybrid rear frame mainly out of aluminum to keep its weight at 895 kilograms.
The production car was unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, followed by 2013 Essen 'Techno Classica', Goodwood Festival of Speed 2013, Moscow Raceway, 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. Production of 4C began May 2013 at Maserati's plant in Modena, with an expected production of up to 2500 units per year.
The car was designed by Centro Stile Alfa Romeo (Style Centre) and developed by Alfa Romeo. The chassis is composed by a centra carbon fiber tub, with aluminium subframes front and rear. The carbon fiber tub is produced by TTA (Tecno Tessile Adler) in Airola, as a joint venture between Adler Plastic and Lavorazione Materiali Compositi. The carbon fiber components that make up the chassis are cut using CNC technology.
The chassis of the car weighs 65 kilograms (143 lb) and is a single carbon fiber body, similar to the body of many supercars. The outer body is made of a composite material which is 20% lighter than steel. The stability is comparable to steel and better than aluminium.
The 4C employs double wishbone suspensions at the front and MacPherson struts at the rear. The resultant weight distribution is 38% on the front and 62% on the rear axle. Wheels and tyres have different diameters and widths front and rear: 205/45 R17 front and 235/40 R18 back as standard, with optional 205/40 R18 and 235/35 R19. Both wheel options come equipped with Pirelli P Zero tires. The 4C uses vented disc brakes on all wheels; Brembo 305 millimetres (12.0 in) on the front and 292 millimetres (11.5 in) on the rear. The car can stop from 100 km/h in 36 meters. To save weight and increase steering feel, the 4C has no power steering.
The 4C uses a new all-aluminium 1.75 L (1,742 cc) 240 horsepower (180 kW) at 6000 rpm inline 4 cylinder turbocharged engine. The engine has been designed for minimum weight. Acceleration is achieved in 4.5 seconds and the top speed is 258 km/h.

Peugeot Oxia '88
The Oxia is a concept car designed by the French manufacturer Peugeot and unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in 1988. It was a fully functioning prototype with spectacular performance. Designed by Gerard Welter, the Oxia was instantly recognisable as a Peugeot with its slit-like headlights and slatted grille with the Lion emblem mounted in the center.
The lightweight carbon fiber body of the Peugeot Oxia came complete with an enormous adjustable rear spoiler helping to keep the car glued to the road. Under the Oxia's skin was a 2.85 litre, 680 horsepower turbocharged V6 engine, six-speed gearbox, permanent four wheel drive system, electronically controlled axle differentials and automatic tire pressure monitors.

Yea, but Peugeot and Citroën just aren't known for their supercars (with the later not havin' a single one), however, there are some obscure French atomobili manufacturers out there, Mega, Venturi, and Vintech are good examples of what the French can do.Viktor Karpenko wrote:The French are a bunch of idiots for not etering the world of supercars
