@Zapper, I completely agree!  I simply thought I'd point it out because you specifically mentioned the name, and since the car is so well-known as the 288 GTO, I got the impression that you may have thought DSI had gotten it wrong.  Calling it the "Ferrari 288 GTO" is perfectly fine.  In fact, I use the same name when referring to that car. :)

Zapper

We are in tune ;)
Although thinking of which, maybe DSI forgot something while naming "Porsche Carrera 4" strangely omitting 3 digit part  ::)

Presenting the Lancia Delta HF Integrale 16V, including now the same missing headlights in game model "CAR1" like hapened with DSI's LM-002.
The dashboard is completely new and corresponds to the 1989 "16V" model, it was made from scratch using real pictures and same angle and distance as the original DSI's version (and mistakenly from the Lancia Thema 8.32).

NOTE: (*) - The orange customized color needle appears only with Stunts 1.1 Mod 1.0

Looks great!  I had a little confusion at the beginning because, as the dashboard image sits directly aligned under the showroom image, the dashboard corresponding to each car appears swapped, but then I understood it's two separate images.

Amazing work, as always!

Thank you @Cas for pointing the swapped comparison images of Delta's dashboard. It's now in order ;)

Now that all the road cars are almost ready, there are some aspects of braking and grip values that may need some tweaking before releasing the pack, but until then the race cars still need to be done. :)

- Porsche/March Indy 90P:

Presenting the Porsche/March Indy 90P, named as such with "/" as DSI's uses in it's "shortname" (visible in highscore table) and completing with the specific racing model from the 1990 CART season. This was the final year of the March-Porsche indycars since 1987 that also matches the performance specifications of DSI's original car.

The 3D shape this time wasn't modeled from blueprints, instead only car photos were used as reference.
It includes two "Quaker State" livery paint schemes in which one of them reveals a "speedway" version of 3d model with specific aerodynamic package (smaller front wing and lower rear wing seen on last above image).

The dashboard was replicated using DSI's approach since it contains small parts of the real cockpit. The digital speedometer is now enabled on the "Bosch MSP DIS08" multi information LCD display, although I have no sure if that would be one of its possible readings.

- Jaguar XJR-9 IMSA:

Presenting the Jaguar XJR-9 IMSA from 1988 season. This one was one of the DSI's original car with the least correspondence against the real model, starting with its specifications that were replicated from the Porsche 962 3.5L flat-6 turbo, passing to its the 3D shape also very similar to 962 but with irregular/asymmetric gaps and ending with the dashboard that was somewhat themed by the colors of the "Silk Cut Jaguar" team's livery from Le Man's endurance WSPC cars (not IMSA's "Castrol Jaguar" team livery).

The car specification is now based on the Jaguar V12 in 6.0L iteration for IMSA 1988 cars and not the later 7L + engines revisions ('88 WSPC and IMSA following years) in order to stay under 700HP and maintain their top speed below 245MPH in game.

The 3D shape contains, like the previously posted Porsche March Indy, a normal and a speedway aerodynamic package being the later with lower rear wing. Using this aspect there is respectively a paint job for the Castrol Jaguar IMSA team and paint job for the livery of the "Silk Cut Jaguar" WSPC team.

The carbon fibre dashboard has now an offset steering wheel, visible front wings, a 5 speed "dog leg" gear pattern and a digital speedometer present in one of the lcd displays although on the real car it could not be dedicated for that.

Great to see! And indeed, a lot of liberties were taken with the original design of the Jaguar.

HerrNove

Looks great! Among all the details I particularly liked the front lights made with the semitransparent material.

alanrotoi

Beatiful enhancement. You know I'm a fan of your work.

Cas

Really, extremely good looking!  Very neat, professional work!

Yes, it is me. No, I'm not back at racing (for now...)
