Supercharged 200BX Type-LS | BeamNG POV Drive #1 | Logitech G27 w/Shifter
1(Backstory from what I've created)
In Q2 of 1992, Ibishu thought of an idea to add a supercharger to the 200bx for the 1993 model year to attract more customers. It was only available for Type-LS models and was optional. You can get it with either a 5 speed standard transmission or a *New* at the time 6 speed automatic and as you can guess, many people chose the 5 speed standard over the 6 speed auto. The supercharged variant released in Q1 of 1993 and had nearly 50,000 units sold. It wasn't even a year since the supercharged variant came out that Ibishu started getting reports where many customer's cars were overheating due to the lack of better cooling. Many of them were recalled and had better systems put into place to prevent overheating. The early 1993 model that I'm driving here didn't go in for the recall and was running a bit hot during the spirited driving session. Over the next 2 decades, many supercharged models dwindled due to being forgotten, wrecked, or sold for scrap once worn out. This 6 speed automatic supercharged variant was one of the few rare ones to survive. Maybe some day, a 5 speed standard variant would be driven.....
