[LABenterprises]

This is a thread for those who appreciate the creation, enjoyment, or inspiration of cars in KSP.

 

If you enjoy making cars feel free to share and post pictures of your creations here. You can also share your knowledge of creating cars and various methods you may use to help others improve. For those who are interested in getting started with making cars then why not begin now, this is a side of the game with plenty of room to grow.

I enjoy building in KSP, especially replicating some neat cars! Here is a few examples:

I don't really understand cars, I'm more of a sky boi myself but I got two things I can share.
First is the meme car, The Tofu Fighter, The overrated Toyota Corolla 
A Toyota AE86 Spinter Treuno



Second thing I got is my own car design named after thighsocks

Its started off based of a lambo but it quickly morphs into my own design into a jet powered vtol thing

I also enjoy making cars, however I really haven't understood how to make them look good. Only 2 of them have actually looked good.

My proudest creation is the Draconic Astra (and it's race variants) which in it's top tier trim uses fully electric motors (i use a mod) and can go near supersonic.

I'll upload some photos soon. But I wanted to know of any pointers or tips, even guidelines for making a good looking car

I struggle for the front end usually as I can never make it look good or well... car-like. They always look like discount boxes on oversized wheels or needles. Please help me get shapes down in KSP.

Thanks

Have you tried turning the friction control waaaaay down and going for a drive?

Make sure to have the front wheels have a little more than the rear

I know I am 3 years late but 2 things. 1st, If you didnt understand cars you wouldnt know what an eight six is. 2nd, Hachirokus are not overrated.

I mean, point one is disputable cause plenty of people have watched Initial D but not everyone is a car person. And besides point 2 is indisputable, they are amazing drift machines.

One of my muscle rovers: Interceptor.

Thats one is my favorite. I have also dodge challenger 1970. Ford Mustang Hoonigan. Pontiac 1965 (It exploded after and now only debries remains from it) but mostly my favorite is a Firebird trans am  aka RoadSlayer GT from Wreckfest. I also use metal sheets from making history dlc, because i need to fix dents and hinges. And Kerbals can work with it at construction EVA
