Update Speculation thread

New teaser!

 

man this looks nice

 

is this the chassis of the new pick up truck?

 

Doesn't look like it's based on anything IMO, reminds me of the Scarab

 

That's definetly the Piccobuggy. Same plate bumper, front shock hoops, etc...

I wonder if the Piccolina was just a test bed or this will use some Autobello parts (engine and maybe a fiberglass shell shaped like the Piccolina is probably the most overlap this would have)

Looks like our first dedicated platform that isn't street legal, that's a big precedent for future content with countless possibilities for the future. Dedicated race cars, heavy equipment, etc...

 

This is the class 5 Autobello buggy that was accidentally left in the files pre hotfixes for 0.26.

 

At first I thought it was the Piccolina chassis

 

''The phantom of the hop-era'' Nice one Leeloo

 

I believe that it won't need anything more than the 1.5 F4 in tuned form (Stage 2 Performance Long Block, Race Twin Carburetors, Stinger Exhaust). Although some V8 swaps (for example, the smallest Gavril V8s, which are the 4.5 and 291ci ones) could also be possible.

Looks amazing!

 

I like the idea of Africa with the off road cars and ETK focus. Maybe the I series remaster has a diesel wagon like the super popular diesel Mercedes wagons in Africa? Plus you could do another Group B version to go with the Covet and Bolide and then give 3 Dakar version of those Group B cars to fit the Africa theme both with the safari rally and Dakar.

 

Personally I’d like to see a V6 swap from the Pessima maybe, I think that’d be a unique but still reasonable swap to see.

 

People bore out Fiat and Volkswagen boxers to over 2 litres and give them EFI and nitrous, there is no reason we wouldn't see that here. V8 swap plz.

 

Updated my expectations post with today's teaser

 

Real life Class 5 is limited to 4 Cyls 2.5L and under. The most poplar engine IRL is the Chevy Ecotec turbo so maybe use the Sunburst engine?

 

I said this because it's quite a light car with a rear-biased weight distribution, so the 1.5 F4 has plenty of power. I mentioned the V8 swaps just for giggles.

The Ibishu 2.7 V6 seems reasonable enough, especially since it's got enough power and it's small and light enough for the car.

Or the SBR4 2.0/2.5 F4 engines, which I hope they get in the Sunburst as well.

 

With every teaser my excitement for the coming updates increases by an insane margin! All of these new teased vehicles

 

I like the new rims with beadlock!

 

i wonder if the devs will ever consider making a mod into official content, for example like the kljp mod, or the ibishu claria, or something else, that would fill some spots like RHD 2000s sedan, or 70s style wagon,

 

Don't know about cars, but features they've done it before, Like Traffic AI started as a Mod that the Devs later on went with it for the official game

 

That would be a good idea, but I can imagine that the devs would have legal issues with intellectual properties of the people who created the mods.
