Well played Butch! 
I should shut up now. 

@Pete: Yes... somehow that's right. I am a very nostalgic person when it's about a very nostalgic game. But since I don't like these modern day supercars very much anyway it's pretty easy to stick to the beautiful cars of the past.

I'm totally with you, but on the other hand, i'd also like to see some Mercedes 250 cla or BMW i8 (even if it's partly electric) or C(L)65 AMG or the new 2021 Countach!! Or a 2018 Toyota Supra? These cars might be too new to own one yourself due to the way they've been built, but they still have a fantastic design and somehow i like to see them in High Stakes, too

Modern cars nowadays are still pretty good. It just comes down to taste. I love pretty much any I see and they deserve some love, whether they're useless or not. Take for example....The Pontiac Aztek. Yes, I know, worst example. Many find it ugly, but I don't.

Fortunately it did not go into production... Peugeot design wasn't great in the early 2000's but this is the pinnacle of ugly... like a SLR ordered on "Wish"    ...Google the "blobfish" and you know why  !

I agreed with that until the day I saw it in real life and it struck me as a modern 275 GTB. But seriously, you are German, so I imagine that sensitivity when it comes to cars is something you are familiar with. I'm French with a distinctly Latin temperament and we are talking about a French car.

So "the pinnacle of ugly" ..... Do you want me to release it before the Bora ?

 

Hey, it's never about any nationality, only about personal preferences, experiences in life and taste. I think the 907 has an absolute fantastic design and it is like you say some modern age 275 GTB. The choice of Proxima and the 907.. I'd throw a coin

The Proxima for me!!! 
The 907 looks like the ugly cousin of the Mercedes SLR and since it was made in 2004 it is too modern for my NFS game and your portfolio.

Does that mean you only install cars made before 1999?

Hey now, don't be mean of the Peugeot 907. It was a unique and radical Peugeot, but unfortunately it didn't go into production. Shame, because it would have been amazing. And who says that's too modern for NFS?

Again, my vote goes for the Proxima. The 907 may come along with a certain Marcos perhaps like the GT or Mantis XP?

The Bora looks absolutely fantastic. I am very happy that you are building this car. We can't have enough 70's "supercars" and this one has never been made for a racing game. Although I have to admit that for me it looks a lot better without the late-model air-intake on the front hood. Maybe you should consider it an :OT-part again

You're right. Furthermore, this air intake is inconsistent with the indicator repeaters and consumes polygons unnecessarily.

Goodness me that was fast! Excellent work Butch! The Maserati Bora looks wonderful!

I know the next one is the Ghibli, but after that......I vote for the Peugeot Proxima.

I still have to create the dashboard of the Bora and the second part of the X-Files team's project which removes the top. 

As it's been a long time since the previous concept car, I was thinking of slipping a Peugeot in between the two Maseratis: the Proxima (in red) or the 907 (in black).
If anyone has an opinion or preference on this, now is the place to express it.
