For contemporary vehicles, a real-world vehicle catalog can be used. The vehicles below are converted for use in WOIN for convenience. The conversion already includes quality adjustments where appropriate. When selecting a vehicle from this list, go immediately to Step 3 (tuning) in the vehicle design process.

Adjusted price. The adjusted price incorporates inflation. This is only used when price is used as a balancing factor (for example in duel-type skirmish scenarios where each party has a budget to spend). Use the actual price for purchase in an actual setting.

Converting Vehicles

To convert a real-world vehicle, use the following conversion method. To convert a vehicle, you will need its price, maximum speed, 0-60 acceleration, and weight.

A vehicle design sheet is available here.

Price. This is the price the vehicle costs in the real world. This may vary by time period, depending when your game is set. In general, use the price when the vehicle was new.

DEFENSE. The weight of a vehicle determines its DEFENSE attribute (use the table below). A vehicle also adds its current SPEED to its DEFENSE score. Note that the minimum DEFENSE is 10, as always, but lower numbers are provided as they can effectively mitigate high speeds. Use the figures shown, and if the final result is less than 10, increase it to 10.

Upgrades. The number of upgrade slots available is dependent on the vehicle's size. Higher quality vehicles gain bonus upgrade slots.

SPEED. SPEED is equal to the vehicle's maximum speed in miles per hour divided by 10. For example, a car with a max speed of 120mph has a SPEED of 12.  This is the vehicle's top speed, designed for a straight line; at high speeds, it can be very difficult to maneuver and turn.  Most drivers will typically operate at half this value in combat - combat is not (usually) a race.

ACCELERATION. This is equal to 20 divided by the vehicle's 0-60 time. It is the amount by which a vehicle may increase or decease its speed each round.

HANDLING. This needs to be estimated. Use the sample vehicles as a guideline.

HEALTH. A vehicle's HEALTH is equal to the square root of its weight in pounds.

SOAK. A vehicle's SOAK depends on the vehicle type.

Compact cars, sports cars, and smaller vehicles have SOAK 5.

Larger vehicles have SOAK 10.

Armored vehicles have SOAK 15 (light armored) or 20 (heavy armored).

Quality. Quality is mainly used to determine the number of available upgrade slots. It also provides an equipment bonus to drivers.

Quality can be gauged by simply looking up the adjusted cost of the vehicle (after inflation is applied). Adjusted cost is a flat +10% per year (e.g. a 20 year old vehicle has an adjusted cost of +200%). This does not affect the actual cost of the vehicle – it is simply used to compare like for like with older vehicles when determining quality.

If you have a vehicle's price (when new), you can establish its quality using the tables below.  For example, a 2014 Bugatti Veyron is worth $1,500,000, making it an artisanal sports car.

Inflation

An Aston Martin DB5 cost only about $8,000 in 1963; its equivalent these days costs many times that. Inflation is an added layer of complexity, so GMs should decide whether to include it, but as a general rule prices can be adjusted by 10% per year for the purposes of determining quality on the table above only.  This allows older, classic cars to qualify for a quality level appropriate to their actual quality.
