I Built a 3 Cylinder Sports Car that's Actually Good? | Automation / BeamNG 

Who wants a Nopal?

my opinion on this vehicle will scale directly on how many drug cartel heads buy them, and how terribly over-decorated they end up.

"What do you think of when you think of Mexico?" "El chavo del ocho and good food" "Sports cars" "are we talking about the same Mexico?"

14:16 “Hello? Nopal Customer Service? Yes I'd like to report my touchscreen not responding and glitching upon mild acceleration and other electrical problems with the infotainment system. Also my clutch has gotten loose and is unresponsive for some reason.”

8:02 that boost kick is a jumpsacare.

bro gives his car wheels the thickness of a straw in this vid and is surprised he has no grip, honestly, double the rear tires in width and give the fronts an upgrade in size too, can't grip what it can't touch.

Nah man you did that power curve dirty. It spools up so late you wouldn’t need a turbo at all at that point. Rather make a high rpm natural aspirated screaming engine with same power.

5000 mile service: full engine overhaul

the interior looks sick

The turbo takes 2 to 3 business days to spool up

engines like this are why superchargers need to be a thing

I’m crying about the missing cylinder.

It looks like a Jaguar F Type mixed with a MK5 Supra

@considerGaming I have a mod on the BeamNG repository called LMP C Evo

"Thissssssss is the Nopal X"

if this car existed would buy it no doubt

hey ive got a car ive made yesterday. its a cheap japanese sports car, it has the best handling ive seen so far tbh hahah its basically glued to the ground xd i can send you the pdf so you can test it hehe

Basically a mexican versions a of a miata

maybe you could make a rally3 or rally2 car?

my brAin keeps comparing it to a Porsche shape because of how small it is or how small Porsches seem.

what is the app name ?

I want it ngl

wow

I need some HELP with BeamNG: I built a car in Automation, click on "export", but it does not show up in Beam like it should according to the game devs own video My PC gets super hot even on lowest graphics settings (does not happen in any other game), is there anything I can do other than lowest graphis? Also regarding the game Automation I can't import car files from my old PC, the files people tell me to put them into are nowhere to be found. Also I can't find the files of the cars I already built on this new PC, where are they, where do car files of cars I build go? Of course I found the Steamlibrary Automation file, but I can't find aynthing car file related inside. Please somebody help!

Anytime i hear mexico i think of cartels 😂 so is nopal now a front for cartel money laundering Edit:Did consider just make Vtec turbo system?

guy who has no idea how a turbo, gears or any engine works try build a engine 8:53

With how light you made the car, I feel like there's a legitimate risk someone could steal it with a couple of friends by carrying it away.

As a Mexican, I can confirm that indeed our biggest exportation to the world are avocados and sports cars 🗣🇲🇽🌯

Bet the US import model gets a 3l V6 from general motors that produces 180bhp but has basically no power under 2000rpm despite being N/A And a random badge from GMs whiteboard of vehicle brands they don't use but old folks remember fondly

When I think of Mexico, I think of the fact they get the Toyota Hilux while us Americans get a truck bigger than an the old tundra as their "small pickup" thanks to the chicken tax... Oh and also sports cars.

bet this is the "jalapeno" version and there's a more civilized one

you can tell costs were cut by how empty the underside of it is. it flipped over and there was lots of empty space down there

Not gonna lie the design looks like something Lotus would make. Like this gives me major Lotus vibes with the design, especially the front.

As the Nopal X tumbled down the hill after hitting the ramp, I noticed that the back caved in, almost like the original Nopal. Then I imagined an ad campaign for a new Nopal (in-universe) that has a modernized version of the body style (maybe not exact body) and fixtures of the original Nopal but performance and production value closer to that of the Nopal X that features the Nopal X jumping off a ramp and tumbling down a hill as the body gets smashed against the ground, shaping it roughly into a wacky hatchback shape before it cuts to the bottom of the hill as the new Nopal (Nopal Classic is the name I imagine) lands on its wheels in a corny/majestic way. I just put way too much thought into this, and I kind of want to make it if I could.

3 tbings I wanna say really quick: First and foremoest. Been around since the OG Comminturismo and just finished re-bingeing the entirety of autopilitan, absolutely love the ads for the cars and the stunning editing quality! Always a genuine treat to see a new upload. Second, the Nopal looks fucking amazing! It's like a cross between a 90's eclipse and a 370z with maybe a hint of GT-R/Mustang? I'd buy like 3 of em, one to slap a rocket bunny kit on and drift to hell and back, one to daily, and another to hold onto cuz it looks too damn good. Lastly, it'd be cool to see a car company who's design premise is restomod from factory, like instead of having to find and buy a classic muscle, luxury, or sports car to repair and rebuild you could get the fun of iconic classic styling with the benefits and comfort of modern vehicles fresh from factory.

the man, the myth, the legend: "what do think of when you think of Mexico?" me: "don't be racist, just say drugs, don't be racist" (btw I'm argentinian, i can shit talk the mexicans all i want, but sadly the internet is a dictatorship where free speech is prohibited)

nopal after witnessing the Cominturismo 1000 and so on: nopal from 14.7 HP hatchbacks to 3 Cylinder sports cars, Cominturismo's crown has been taken in terms of the Best I3 cars in the series to my knowledge

People who make cars with less than 300hp always get surprised by how fun they are.

The silver lining to this is you're making more power than a superbike in a smaller package

3 cylinder gaming

i think making it heavier could actually make it handle better and not slide as much as there is more waight pressing down on the weels, just my humble opinion

The skinny jeans gonna make me act up 😏😏🙏🙏

I have some bad news for you, that $26.9k in the markets in 6:58 is not accurate to the total car production cost in any way, and the car itself could have been much more with it's actual cost, for that see the overall stats after suspension

If there is a future Autopolitian, a possible challenge would be giving all cars a trailer hitch and having them haul the tandem enclosed trailer, fully loaded, around a small track. And some possible ideas for future cars based off far too many hours in Automation: Rear engine wagon Modern electric hypercar Modern off road supercar TRX/Raptor R competitor Modern rear wheel drive V8 coupe 70's drag car Generic crossover (as a baseline for everthing to compare to) Diesel pickup Modern track toy 80's rear engine sports car Wrangler/FJ/Bronco competitor Modern rear wheel drive large sedan Modern full sized luxury suv 90's low quality car with a powerful engine Modern V8/V10 mid engine sports car/supercar Corolla/Civic competitor Modern luxury wagon Modern WRX competitor Modern police suv 80's police car 90's GT-R/Supra competitor Modern Supra competitor Pre bailout front wheel drive generic sedan Modern luxury compact Modern V10 powered mid engine van 50's large sedan Electric large sedan Shelby F-150 competitor Modern all wheel drive luxury coupe Modern bus Modern car built by a country that's never built one before.

OKAY? OKAY NGL I KINDA LOVE THIS ONE I'd get it in a heartbeat

It be cool to see a v6 designed like it was 2 of the i3s welded together

I feel like your hunt for high speed downforce is a core misunderstanding of what the car should do - you wouldn't see a Miata handle a turn at those speeds, but in slower speeds, it handles brilliantly.

I just ran across this video and your channel and I must say, you holding the ENTIRE MIC ARM at the beginning is fucking hilarious

I feel your tuning pain man. Took me like 2 years before I could confidently tune an engine to exactly how I like. ❤❤

Too much downforce, not enough mechanical grip and suspension work But the design is nice ! The side line with the windowline is gorgeous..

So you've basically made the Mexican version of a BRZ... kinda... unique in its own right but in essence you made a BRZ/GR86 in spirit.

ngl mexico prolly it's the most well-developed car market in latino countries even Brazil don't have national sports cars

if you want to align the seats and cam with the wheel then use the world space mover option thing and if you want a working steering wheel then do: ~prop:fixture number (ie 43),steering,0,1,0,0,0,0,min rotate (ie -900 must be below 0), max rotate (ie 900 must be above 0),0,1~

The estimated price of the car is displayed in the "Detail Stats" section near the end. Automation $$ are based on 2012 USD

Cute... My 3 Liter V6 Biturbo has got 750 bhp, can Go Over 400 and Just Drinks 10 Liters per 100 Kilometers 😂

What a curious way of pronouncing nopal it sounds so unforgivingly English

Nobody does a cast iron head and aluminum block, that's dumb. Also, that bore/stroke ratio is cursed. Never go less than 0.9x bore compared to stroke unless you're making a fake diesel or a tractor/Harley motor, and even then, past 0.8x bore/stroke is unrealistic. Conversely, more than 2.5x bore/stroke (oversquare) is also unrealistic.

I just finished tuning a 120 hp 203cc i4 engine, same vibes I used the 1995 egg car, pretty light, goes 200 kph+ with a CVT

Funnily, I decided to build a mid-engine 3 cylinder turbo charged sports car in Automation. Making it look similar to a super car from around the 2007 era. Oddly enough, with like 350 HP and with how cheap it was material wise, the Automation market thing gave it really high stats and it drove amazing since the body design was meant for something way larger and more powerful. If I remember right the engine was called the Pixie and the car was called the Imposter.

It's like a Supra, GTR, and Miata fan who was snorting lines of coke made a car.

Inferno looks like a Bugatti from Devil May Cry

Automation has come a looooooooong way since I played it in 2013 🤯

Video quality is top notch 9.5 Stars. Out of 5.

Hi! Usually when cars have lots of power it has some sort of all-wheel drive on demand. That helps starting the car from 0 kmh way way faster

WE'RE SO FUCKING BACK

This might be your finest work yet!

No but the front end looks like the Lotus Elise imo

Your not supposed to be full throttle all the time drifting if you are then your hearing is bad for drifting

This car definitely holds a fair chance against some of the cars on the block. Though I gurantee if this was a real car, a lot of people would ironically buy it. (P.s A car idea to work off inspiration wise, the Suzuki Jimny or one of their other models)

This guy made an f-type rear end “make it ugly as possible”

it sounded like a normal porsche tbh

For under 30K imagine how many people would finance this car and be an absolute terror on the streets. People fresh out of college doing 150 on the interstate lmao.

The first thought that came to mind when thinking of Mexico was the cartel.

Jesus that's an undersquare engine, probably moreso than most diesels

The Mastretta MXT really looks like a smart roadster from the front.

I have had an 2.1L i3 for quite a while with a few different configs but i am waiting for them to add superchargers so i can finish it.

i did this, and somehow i got 600 horse power.

nopal. it sounds like the name of man from indonesia

I would love to see you make an executive car! Something that the secret service would use.

Man i really want to see you build an interior, they end up so clean and interesting it makes mine look like crap

We need a Canadian made truck based on the explorer sport trac

Props to who ever thought of sports cars and not tacos

Hi, could you please do a luxury sports sedan with an extremely downsized engine like the new amg cars with a 2 liter 4 banger. I know it sounds boring but i'd love to see your take on a underpowered luxury german sedan. Love your new videos and glad your back!

4:10 What the back of the Hyundai Kona looks like

Just waiting for Superchargers fr fr.

Some guy made an I3 with 1600+ horsepower, ur I3 is very weak.

Billet aluminum engines are alot stronger than the light aluminum which would drastically increase reliability

The inferno looks like a warframe “fashion frame”

Ah yes, the Mexican Fettucine

19:48 still no ESC ;) ?

This should get a facelift 5-6 years later with a DCT, Launch Control and an engine with 800-1000 cc. Polish out some quirks and give it the 2010s Treatment!

Hypeee 🎉

boost threshold. all turbos have lag.

Absolutely amazing

I thought it was a C7 Corvette

35 mpg is crazy tho

HE RETURNS!!!!!

As a long time viewer, I feel compelled to tell you that out of all the new transmission options, you picked the only one that isn't used in production cars... twice. A rough guide: Sports cars and up dual clutch, wannabe sports cars and down advanced auto and continuous, full blown racecars sequential, anything pre 2000's automatic, all of the above manual. As with anything, there are a few outliers, but sequentials really aren't, as even the production cars that have/had them are/were racing focused. Caterham and Radical are the only ones that still use them. Auto manuals were only on a few cars and they never worked out as they had all the downsides of an auto (slower gear changes than a manual at the time) and all the downsides of a manual (computer controlled clutch that never engaged fast enough from a stop). If you were trying to park or start on a hill they were very, very bad.

it's the
