I recently took it upon myself to try to make a general purpose test track for vehicles!
Ever since, I have been making a bunch of fun and silly vehicles.
One idea that caught my eye however, was to try and make a powerwheels-esque car. It surprisingly did fairly well on the track!
But now I want more! >:D
I decided to put both a turbocharger and a supercharger on it, creating a twincharger!
I didn't stop there though! I greatly increased the RPM limit and added a button to disconnect the differential from the wheels, as well as making the wheels a lot larger.
Now I think this really does look like a powerwheels car!
Controls:
A - Reverse
S - Brake
D - Gas
W - Toggle Offroad Suspension
C - Disconnect Differential
1-6 - Select Gear (this car has a 6 speed manual transmission)
All of these controls should work on iPad!
I had a lot of fun making this scene, and even though it's not much, I still really hope you enjoy it.
Word of warning though! This car is quite top heavy and is prone to wheelies and flipping. I haven't actually tested it on this track as of writing this, so no guarantees as to how far it can go...
EDIT: I've tested it on the track and it can get to the second-to-last ramp at the end (the steepest ramp right before the finish line) before losing grip and rolling off.
For what it's worth, this did better on the track in my testing than a lot of my other cars, and the only car I've made that I've managed to get past that second-to-last ramp was the Porcelain Dragster -- and that was because of the flushing acting as a rocket boost!
Some general specs:
Maximum Boost: 4.5 bar (quite unrealistic -- but this whole thing is unrealistic!
)
Engine: Twincharged Spring Inline 3 (scripted 2 stroke)
Transmission: 6-speed manual, can be converted to automatic or continuous by selecting the entire car, entering the script menu, and changing _mode to 1 for automatic or 0 for continuous
Redline: 9000 RPM
Top Speed: 180 MPH / 289 KMH
Drivetrain: AWD, differential can be disconnected from the wheels to rev the engine and transmission before delivering the power all at once to the wheels!
Footprint: ~2 x 1.375 meters

Any item in my scenes can be used with credit.
DISCLAIMER: I know next to nothing about forced induction (superchargers in particular) so...
This may or may not be similar to how an actual turbo/supercharger works. The way I've implemented it does include turbo lag -- but beyond that I have no idea what I did.
EDIT: Moved center of mass towards the bottom, it should handle steep slopes and aggressive throttle better now!
