pessima revamp with new gtz config and parts

 

It's FWD not RWD so no drag variant.

 

I mean, FWD drag cars exist. It could.

 

But I don't think many based around cars similar to the Wendover.

 

If vehicle have wheels and engine it can be converted into drag machine.

 

I mean you could make a custom config. but anything official doesn't really make much sense.

 

Agree, I will admit I wasn't one of those super excited about it originally. However seeing this new "render" is great. Genuinely like the look of it.

 

pessima

isnt the covet drag fwd?

 

I am hoping that since the update will probably include some form of remaster/update for the LeGran, we get front inner fenders for it. It's weird that they're just all open and exposed like this, with a huge gap behind the tire. Some GM cars of the time even had an inner fender/mudflap behind the tire, blocking the exterior colour from showing.

(see how the exterior colour and cavernous gap is visible in this picture)

 

Concerning the idea of a drag car...

FWD drag car racing is a big thing, but those guys mostly stick to compacts and imports... Stuff like Civics, Cobalts, etc... Many are very heavily modified with caged/widebody front ends and so on.

People love to make weird project cars, but I've never seen anything comparable to a drag racing Wendover. The closest I have seen on the internet is a big block RWD conversion Dodge Aries (K-Car). Of course throw on a supercharger and drag slicks and the player can make one themselves, and with how many strange drift cars we have I wouldn't rule out getting some official abomination, but it really would not make sense.

This really goes for any racing configs unless we get a RWD conversion or a caged frame superbuild.

 

Considering the fact that we have a track version of the hopper, I think anything goes when it comes to configurations.

 

The rear taillights of the wendover reminds me of the accord coupe

 

Not a big fan of honda accords, but dang it looks like a nsx

 

Considering how half-done the LeGran is right now, even after a body reshape, I can't imagine they'd go all the way to giving it a 4x4 wagon version without giving it a remaster of some sort.

As far as I know, the GM 3.8L V6 is enough of "a thing" in the aftermarket to justify an official drag LeGran, but the Wendover, being larger and heavier, wouldn't make as much sense.

 

The body of the car is probably modeled in 3dsmax, although I think they do the rest in blender.

 

It's always bothered me that the LeGran has a 3.8-liter... 60 degree... V6. That's just not right.

 

Maybe 4.0 I6? Taken from Moonhawk? Or I4 Swapped engine from 80`s Pessima?
I think its a must to have a Derby version for Legran. It would be perfect!
-Front-wheel drive? check
-Enough space for a rollcage? check
-Rusty skin? Legran is almost 40 years old! check

 

The GM 60 degree V6 only went up to 3.4 litres. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_60°_V6_engine.
The Buick 3.8 was a 90 degree engine.

 

Well, bruckell isn't a carbon copy of buick/gm...
