Update Speculation thread

Am I the only one who thinks the Rally Bolide's rear looks more like the 037 than the Stratos, 308GTB, or 288GTO?

 

Seeing as this is a modern American muscle car, basically a Dodge Charger equivalent, I don't think the devs would go for anything less than a big and chunky V8, most likely with a smaller base model V6 option and a supercharged variant of the big and chunky V8. Probably good for nearly 850 HP on a factory config, going by Dodge Challenger Demon numbers.

 

I can ashure you i will riot infront of the BeamNG HQ in Bremen if this doesnt get a Flatplane Special Sport Model!

 

Now what would be interesting is if the Bastion had a smaller diesel engine, likely a V6 or inline 6 inspired by the Fiat Chrysler 3.0 Turbo-Diesel V6. It would be interesting for a model leaning more towards the general commute with a focus on fuel efficiency.

Hmm, maybe AWD too? Hybrid? I like this Idea...

 

AWD seems like an obvious choice, as the real Charger AND Challenger both had it, though only the charger had it for a V8 model. Technically V8 Charger police cars can be optioned with AWD even today. Would make for a very fun customized Hellcat equivalent config. I would bet that combo could easily do a sub 3 second 0-60.

 

It’ll probably have a hybrid, it’s a brand new car and it’s the only powertrain we don’t have

 

Sorry then, I thought you were referring to the bolide because of the post you quoted
to me it just looks like a rounded bruckell logo, squished a bit, not arrows

 

Not at all, pretty sure the 037 was the car they took inspiration from, having no rear bumper and that massive spoiler

 

It’s fine man, simple misunderstanding, no need to apologize. Anyway, I think the bolide looks more like a 037

 

The rally kit seems to take the rear of the 037 combined with stratos fenders

 

If this is getting released alongside the Bastion i dare to think i found my new favourite rally config!

 

While that would be reasonable for a volume sedan, the devs seem to have something against diesels in non-German passenger cars...

 

I wonder if the bastion will finally be the car to dethrone the moonhawk as the fastest vanilla game drag car

 

that's what i've always found odd, the fact there's no official diesels in either generation of pessima, despite how ubiqitous midsize diesels are

 

Maybe in continental Europe, but less so in the UK during the 90's and early 00's. We only started seeing a surge in diesel popularity in the later half of the 00's, when small diesel engines were marketed as highly efficient and greener than petrol.

 

Actually there is only one german diesel engine in the game.
The other is french and after that one american.
It pretty balanced out but yeah:
I could do with some more euro spec diesels since US ones are just mad displacement and torquedomes,
I want a proper 2.0 Euro Diesel from the early to late 90s!

 

That's why we like it though!

 

The new car almost looks like a mustang 4 door with a non oem hood.
