I know but I don't think 600 and 650's torque is that low. At least, sub 2k rpm they feel more powerful. Although the differential ratio of bis is longer than that of air-cooled ones they feels sluggish especially on uphill. I added BIS's engine it to my mod folder by changing the torque values of the 650cc engine.
The torque is based on factory data, it's definitely correct. But maybe it's so sluggish because of the tire model in BeamNG, the tires are not exact circles so it takes a bit more torque to get them to start turning. And low end torque also depends on the carburetor, the one for 650E and later has a bit less torque than the 600 and 650.
i would really like to know how cars like this such as the 2cv managed to stay in production for so long when most of them struggled to reach highway speeds. this thing MAYBE could do 70 mph but at that rate the engine would be screaming and wasting gas and would prob need a hill to reach that speed
There was demand for that, cheap cars that don't have to be reliable because they are easy to fix when they break down, and don't need to reach highway speeds as they are meant purely for the city and generally to be driven by 1 person at once, although obviously people were using them against their purpose a lot. It was for people who can't afford a "proper car", which in some of communist countries was the vast majority. They stayed long in production because people got used to them and they would rather have something they know how to repair than something more reliable but mechanically different. Of course that changed when the financial situation of average people improved and they now preferred something more expensive that they won't be laughed at when they drive it.
I'm still waiting for the updated colors from Matt84, should be shortly after we add them Also 126 likes on the mod, cool
Vapordude was working on a lore friendly version like half a year ago but no idea what happened to that, most likely cancelled since he never showed any progress besides some initial sketches
Most of these aren't even possible in game lol, some are already in the mod in some way (the one in the water and the one in the house are just stock versions, the cut convertible stuff is pretty much the Bootleg Cabrio config, and we have a skin for the offroad one, config is coming in update 2.0)
This is definitely planned for version 2.0, too cool to pass, although it will definitely take so much effort
