Update Speculation thread

All the teasers and stuff is about new cars & car revamp, no career or other game mode related update teasers

 

It's definitely not a priority for them right now

 

@Car8john is most certainly right, the engine is most probably gonna be a V10. 3 cylinder chambers are visible but there are also 2 more - one at each end of the engine - that are hidden behind the frame rails and the supportive structures of the rear fenders.

 

did they tease the UI revamp ? the map ? The teasers are always about the cars or the maps, the game mode related stuff is only unveiled at the update.

 

the front kinda looks like a mclaren and the back looks like the bmw i8 by the shape of it maybe it will have a EV version like the i8,also theres no secret car in the background but what is this is it the cannon or was it already there?

 

The BMW i8 was a Hybrid, although it had a pure EV mode as well!
But yes, the structure and the placement of the components is typical of a mid-engined Supercar!

 

As well as audio related stuff

 

Well, 2 things I've noticed about the supercar:

• Those brake pads look huge compared to similar disc brakes we have in-game right now, could imply some serious performance from this thing;
• and the rear fender bolt-on arches thing, they look...oversized? If I have to be honest, I hope the wheels themselves won't be that big, or else it would frankly look disproportional in my opinion (could be just me, though)

 

ohhh thats right i forgot that the i8 had a enginehaha! also i cant wait to go whipping around italys small streets in that!

 

Also, I don't see any engine intercoolers lying around and the units in front of the front disc brakes don't look like they can be useful for turbo cooling because they're too far away from the engine. So the V10 is most certainly gonna be a naturally aspirated unit! Yay!

So... summer update (Jun 21)?

 

I would hope not. In terms of late June release. I have hopes of it being released in the next few weeks. Late June imo is just unreasonable

 

I don't think they were actually teasing the release date with that reply

 

Maybe they will do what they did with the Bastion, release the update first and the new car on a smaller update after.

 

What is that thing with a circle around it and an arrow pointing at it in the teaser?

Edit:
Nevermind

 

Do you guys remember this photo?
Take this and compare it with the current teaser.
Do you guys think it's the same car? Or is it something completely different?

 

The cannon is already there, but I'm wondering if it could be a hint to the name.

 

yeah strikes me as the same, especially the rear arches, they seem to fit the big oversized ones seen in game

 

it looks the same

 

I'm 99% sure now that this car is going to be based on the 2017 Ford GT and BMW i8, the chassis is especially similar to an i8.
Maybe this new car is a hybrid?
