Notes:
From the outside the only thing to tell you this car is special is the lowered body on the large gold BBS wheels, the slightly more distinct splitter, and the Spec B badges. But if appearances fool you the price tag wont. At 85,250 Cr. It is priced to compete with a BMW M3 and it has the performance to match it, mind you that 85,250 Cr. makes this one of the cheapest cars AWDA has built. Despite its family saloon car appearance and affordability (compared to the other cars we’ve made), a lot of consideration went into this vehicle. The plan was to have 400hp, but 350hp was much more practical from this 2L turbo engine. Then there’s the gearbox. The HKS gearbox runs 5,600 Cr. and limits the cars top speed down 30kph from the stock one. Acceleration is improved but as you can see for yourself from the graphs below the car is only 0.2 seconds faster from a standing start over one km. One thing that numbers never can tell us is the way a car feels, and AWDA is big on feel. Hence the HKS gearbox was selected for the fact that it gives the car the feel of extra grunt when running out of corners. To compare this vehicle to others in its class of sporty four-seater saloon cars, B-spec was sent out to record times of cars with similar design, those results are posted below (cars prices listed with the cost of oil change, sports soft tires, and new wheels added).

P.S.
Need a little more top speed? Use the stock gearbox, but do give the HKS gearbox a try.
