Update Speculation thread

I personally picture the 1996 pessima GTz as a 1998-2002 Honda Acord Type-R

 

I agree with you entirely, tough I would be surprised if we didn't see the CRX or sedan included, since they're vehicle archetypes not yet seen ingame.

A lassback coupe would be the first FWD coupe ingame, the first compact coupe, and the first car with a liftback. (The 200bx has a trunk rather than a hatch).

The 5 door sedan, meanwhile, would be the first compact sedan ingame, which, while much less unique, would also be simple to construct and would be able to use almost all of the mechanical and trim components from the hatchback.

 

Creating one new bodystyle is a lot of work, let alone three. We're probably getting only one new bodystyle (if at all).

 

How's career mode got anything to do with what bodystyle is gonna be available in the game?

 

when you write an essay over a cryptic image of a fender

Neat writeup either way.

 

Imagine if we get hyped for a covet remaster but the picture was of something else..

 

I always thought the Pessima to be Rover 400 sized (R8 not HHR)

 

I was really bored

Oh absolutely, though recently the quality of vehicle refreshes has grown tenfold, with the bolide especially getting a ton of variations, with multiple generations of bodywork, popup and sealed beam headlights, multiple widebody kits, targa and hardtop configurations, and fully custom suspension for race variants. I wouldn't be surprised to see the covet serve the next step in this direction of improvment.

 

Seeing how content light the Pessima remaster was makes me think the Covet may be the same, with this widebody being the only large content we get. Maybe less important stuff like a CRX body will be for a later content pass after more important stuff like other remasters and maybe even career mode.

 

I believe that the content lightness of the remastering of the new Pessima is in full accordance with the era the car was made. Japanese car makers were starting to decontent their models in the mid-90s due to the Japanese economic/stock market bubble burst and the new Pessima, being a 1996 model, reflects exactly that.
The Covet was a 1987 car, made amid the developmental craze in Japan of the mid-80s to early-90s, so I believe it's gonna get all the content we're talking about.

 

You guys are going to be mad dissapointed...

 

A factory digidash would be nuts to see in a covet/pessima, it would reflect the craze of Japan at that era

 

Compared to IRL counterparts it really is light though.

*For this list I counted engines with the same displacement and layout as the same since that's what it would be in game

 

I was fine with the amount of content the Pessima got, what killed it for me was the fact that it didn‘t get AWD. I mean, we got these nice twin turbochargers for the V6, but no AWD to properly put down the power it can produce…

But it‘s safe to say in my opinion that the Covet will get AWD (assuming that the car in the teaser is the Covet and that it gets a Group B variant)

 

Yep!! A digital dash would reflect a general space craze of that era! All 80s BeamNG cars, whether European, American or Asian, could use such clusters and this is already reflected in the Wendover!

 

We can never have enough Digidashes

 

Any thought about the teasers with the new car(s) in Development Media Thread?

 

Never!!

Yes, it could have one V6 engine more plus AWD, CVT and a Diesel engine but on the other hand the three available engines are still enough to make a large list of versions.
Now that I think of it, yeah, a Twin-Turbo V6 version (with the Stage-1 Twin-Turbochargers and the Heavy Duty Long Block) could be made but how would the power and torque pass to the road without AWD? Plus, since we also have Metric Gauges, a Diesel engine would be great but, then again, there are no Diesel Gauges for accompanying it.
Apart from some Subarus, the CVT wasn't really popular back in the 90s but the 4-Speed Torque Converter Automatic is just fine, tbh.

 

Hey, did anybody take the recent images of the new fender and the concept art of the new supercar and double-check for anything hidden in the shadows by changing the brightness and contrast? There doesn't seem to be any extra info hidden in the filenames or anything.

 

Yeah I did, there was nothing
