WASP Scorpion MK II

The WASP Scorpion MK II is a modern muscle car styled like the original muscle cars of the 60s and 70s. It's a blast to drive and has many features originally not possible, thanks to Funky Trees! Here's a list of the features:

(Almost) Fully functioning 5-speed w/clutch pedal!


When driving, you will notice that the driver switches gears as you speed up. Thanks again to Funky Trees, there is also a working clutch pedal at the bottom! There are also green lights on the instrument cluster to remind you of which gear you're in.
(5-speed manual developed by DPain, but the clutch is original)

Fully developed modern interior with a dome light and doors!


The dome light is wired to the driver-side door to illuminate the interior when entering or leaving.

You may have also noticed that the interior is plentiful with features! There is a stereo system at the top, a large Tesla-style screen in the middle for both advanced navigation and extra settings, and the climate controls are at the bottom. There are two vents for the driver and passenger, and the middle console has the 5-speed manual, storage compartment, and most importantly: cupholders! There are also armrests of the doors as well as sporty bucket seats for relaxing easier in the vehicle.
Lastly, there are working pedals, a working handbrake, a working steering wheel, and a working instrument cluster that lights up with the headlights to help you see better!

Indicators, headlights, and mirrors galore!


The side mirrors are built for extra visibility than normal mirrors! You may notice that they're not flat mirrors, This is to increase the resolution of the reflection made. You can compare this reflection to the stereo's reflection.

The indicator lights are on the steering wheel to let you know when they are active. All indicator lights will light up fully as hazards, and as halos when normal indicators are on. Therefore, you can have hazards and blinkers on for other drivers!

There are extra lights inside the vehicle to make the headlights look like they have actually beams of light! This was to get around the fact that beacon lights aren't meant to be headlights. The cluster also lights up enough to partially illuminate the path ahead of you!

What Do You Mean Mark II?

The original had multiple design flaws and wasn't very detailed. The tires were far too big, there was no passenger detail except for a seat, and there wasn't an interior really at all. The "interior" was just an instrument cluster, a few seats, mirrors, a stick-shift and doors. That's it.
The MK II is a COMPLETE redesign of the interior, down to the cupholder. The tires and suspension are redesigned to fit much better with the vehicle. There are smoother, more streamlined fenders for the wheel housing to add on to the improvement. Going back to the interior, there is now a camera for a passenger, upgraded seats to look more realistic and sporty, and the middle of the inside has a console, cupholders, 5-speed with handbrake, climate control, navigation, and a stereo. Only the 5-speed was there before. There are also armrests and interior handles on the doors, which wasn't on the original car.
to show this is the Mark II, the WASP logo has II inside it on the steering wheel. There is also a "MK II" title on the back. Lastly, the normal WASP logo is on the dashboard next to the vent in front of the passenger.

This is technically my newest car, but also technically my first car since that is what it's based off. I've taken pride in what I've done, and I hope you have a genuinely fun experience with the Scorpion!
