The American Car (also known as Speed car or Desert car) is the car for the Desert environment. It closely resembles a Ford Escort Mk.1. When taking turns, it tends to tilt onto two tires towards the outside of the turn. (probably making it posible for the car flip over onto its side)
History[]
The American Car, like the Rally Car, has had its model slightly altered at some point. The original model had two headlights, more closely resembling its basis, and was slightly smaller. There was also a point when the headlights were round, also more closely resembling its basis. For Trackmania United the headlights became more square-shaped with a second set added. It was also given a different hood scoop and slightly enlarged.
Trivia[]
- This may be the First ever created car in Trackmania history (although it may be snow)
- The base of the car corresponds to a Ford Escort MK1.
- The Ford Escort MK1 was built in the United Kingdom, and sold exclusively in European markets, which makes its basis for the American Car awkward and ironic.
- In Trackmania (2003), the wheels were completely different.
- The skin "LagoonRacer" was different in Trackmania (2003)
- In Trackmania (2003) it was white and turquoise; in Trackmania United, navy blue.
- But player still can see original "LagoonRacer" skin on Desert loading screen in Trackmania United Forever.
- The engine type is a V8.
- In the real life model it had an inline 4 cylinder.
