Update Speculation thread

Must have been someone else, but I did see a relatively inactive user log in every week or so, even though they haven't posted since 2017-ish. To be fair, his profile said Aug 2021 instead of 2020.

 

*Developer´s private life and health situation speculation thread*...

 

why

we just saw that the developers are working on a supercar, i imagine that's their main focus for the year or so.

 

No need to speculate

 

Obviously but you don't see utes and some of the other missing bodystyles everywhere, Minivans are everywhere.

 

This is the update speculation thread. Just saying “I think they will add x in the next update” instead of “I want them to add x in the next update” doesn’t make it speculation. Nothing to speculate? Just don’t. Only speculate about confirmed things or things with evidence.

 

I say only one thing: non-unique

 

My estimate for how much power the new car will make is between 800 - 900 horsepower

 

That's a bit too much, in my opinion. 500-600hp is more reasonable for most of the configs, similiar to what Lamborghini, Ferrari & Maserati do with their cars. After that, you could have custom configs (drag?) with 800 to 1000hp. The new Civetta looks to "just" be a supercar, so more than 600hp is not really logical

 

Hey some hyper cars have over 1000hp so XR8guy is right that would be good

 

I like how a lot of the same speculation regarding the teased supercar was just picking random words from italian...

Though no one has suggested it might be the Civetta LaCivetta

 

Ferrari lawsuit will come soon with this name

 

I need to be enlightened. How are we getting horsepower figures from the ass-end of a digital drawing? The DeLorean looks like it would be fast and it has 130 hp. The Lancia Scorpion looks like an old lambo and it takes it like 10 sec to get to 60 with its 81 hp.

How much horsepower do you think this car has? 400-500? Wrong, it gets 250.
Looks don't equal horsepower.

 

I doubt the first modern high end car will be a hypercar right off the bat. Factory 900hp would put that firmly in hypercar territory as one of the highest hp purely ICE cars in production. 600hp give or take at most is more reasonable for Beam's first modern high end car IMO
--- Post updated ---

While we just have a concept drawing, it sure looks like a proper performance car. Even the cheapest current production Ferrari is still something like 590hp currently. Even if this turns out to be a surprise like a Cherrier, the Citreon GT had 650hp.

It would be bizzare and out of character for the team to tease what looks like a modern super car, which is very highly requested, and then pull a BMW and only give it sub-400hp

 

now i know i cant reserve a car name and its kinda stupid.
but years ago i started to work on the ferrari laferrari, model 100% scratch made, got stuck on jbeam but im hoping to pick it back up and finish it in the future hopefully.
im 100% gonna call it civetta lacivetta and planning a repo release.
i had already made the front and rear split years ago, but now that the bolide got updated, i may redo the jbeam with new stuff. see how devs made it.
i honestly dont even know why im talking about this.



but going into speculations again, the new civetta kinda looks thicc, a kinda thicc that makes me think hypercar.
i cant wait to see what devs are planning with this car for us.
if you ask me its gonna be either one of 2:
a modern bolide,
or an actual new hypercar.

i know i said im sick and tired of v8, and dont get me wrong, i am.
but the new bolide does look very sick. cant wait to see it fully.
i know its kinda a stretch, but the new civetta makes me think of a bugatti, looking at it im sure a w16 quad turbo would fit.
really just hoping to see ANYTHING ELSE other then a v8.... please no more v8....

 

In all seriousness, yes no more V8s unless it is absolutley neccesary.

 

By necessary you mean in the case of remasters?

 

the moonhawk needs a update it has the worse quality of any car in game, but the crash physics are kinda ok from when this car came out.

 

Yes, or if it is a segment of car that can't go without it.
