Update Speculation thread

you're right, it was almost seven years ago, in 2015. the pigeon used to have that weird belted-steering front fork setup, remember?


As for the talks of engines in the civetta, I'd imagine they want to spread out the performance range like the SBR and Bolide already are. I could see them modelling it off mclaren's lineup, using various tunes of N/A and turbo V8s. it's not inconceivable that they might also jam a V12 in there.
However, I can't help but feel like the front teaser we've been given looks like an electric variant.
maybe I'm just seeing a resemblance to the lotus evija, but I think a ~2000hp electric hypercar which can blow the doors off even an eSBR800 would be worthwhile.

 

Fun fact; we reached the 2077 page on this thread!

 

On another "trend", BeamNG seems to be adding facelifts and new looks for cars when they get remastered. The LeGran, D-Series, H-Series, Roamer and Bolide all got pre/post facelift versions, and while the Pigeon didn't get any, it got the Wigeon which is essentially a different body on the same chassis. I wonder if there will be an updated look for the remastered Covet as well.

 

@crashmaster his profile DOES say this:

I don't know why he hasn't got the dev banner but he clearly does stuff at beamng.

 

I forgot about it tbh.

This means a 6x6 Covet is still possible lol.

 

I wouldn't say the Bolide got a facelift, it's just that the new body with the fixed headlights is there for distinguishing the Twin-Turbocharged versions from the NA ones. After all, the Twin-Turbocharged versions were produced at the same model years as the NA ones.

 

someone say 6x6 Mr. Turbo?

 

what the fifty percent off is that thing

 

The Wendover was based on the LeGran, and the Wigeon was based on the Pigeon, so it makes sense for them to share engines (P.S. the Wendover also has a V8)

The Bolide always had those V8s, while the Bastion is a big American muscle, any other engine wouldn't fit the type of car, so yeah, I'd say it's mostly a coincidence

Now to the Civetta, there have been V6 supercars recently, like the Ford GT or the Ferrari 296 GTB, so a V6 Civetta wouldn't be too out of place, but since the devs don't have emission standards to follow , i assume they would go for something more exclusive, so I'd expect a V8 as a minimum
Finally the Covet, the MR Turbo badge speaks for itself, a turbo V6 would be too much IMO, a I4 is a lot more likely, but seeing how there's a real life mid-engined Civic using a V6, it might be present as a different aftermarket config

 

This is so ugly and weird. I love it!

 

I got a feeling. As most if not all new cars since about 2016/7 Have had some new thing that no other car has had.


I think its a ideal for a V10 V12 ( Cough V16 anyone )

And said V8 AND V6.

Like LWB back end for the V10 upwards

And a smaller wheel back back end for the V6 And V6s.

The smaller ones offering a Hybrid. ( as stranded ) and a Turbo

AM not into Super cars/hyper cars i love german cars and Classic steel ( anymodel ) and Aussie cars. BUT seeing this super car. AND getting a Super car book last week. Am hyped.


WITH said possible Hybrid ( no proof its even worked on ) I think They may/should add some vivace Hybrid and possibly a Older hybrid system to the sunburst.


Moving on. I look forward to making a CHEAP Rear engine. Detuned with a Inline 4 ( is possible ) and makeing it like a Toyota MR2 If it was a hatch. Cheap affordable Sport car. But almost like a super car. But not .


I cant wait for this update

 

I think V10 is most possible.Because there is an unused V10 sound in game file.

 

The V10 sound in the game sounds incredibly artificial and like it came straight out of Automation.

 

Well... it technically is the same sound since the devs did invest in the sounds made for automation.

 

Also don't forget the Austin Rover Metro 6R4 for Group B Rallying (there was a mod for the Covet which represented it)!
--- Post updated ---

The V12 sound is much worse. It sounds like two BeamNG V6 sounds mixed together.

 

Mr Turbo has a V16 confirmed

125cc per cylinder
