1963 Gavril Bluebuck

That's the order we were told some months ago, I wouldn't go by it as a guarantee though, we never got word of the Hopper back then.

 

So it would be Hopper, Soliad Wendover and then the Bluebuck. The last two may come in reverse order, but we don't know the true power of @gabester's magic touch.

 

On the deleted concept list, there may be more vehicles coming in-between that we don't know about.
Nobody saw the Hopper coming, and it was on the concept list.

 

Where'd you get that from? I've always heard the order as Hopper > Bluebuck > Wendover.

 

DO NOT BRING UP THAT LIST. @gabester himself stated that the list is wrong completely. last few times people brought it up, the thread it was in got LOCKED.

 

As evidenced by the Hopper and gabe's response to some other times the list was mentioned, it is not completely wrong. And he is planning a Civetta Fulmine which will be similar to a Ferrari 330GT IIRC

 

Dang, I was hoping it would be a modern car.

I'm still in favor of a modern Civetta (Bolide descendant?) called the Civetta Uragano.

 

Actually, maybe we could see something like a LaFerrari, called the LaUltimo?

On-topic: It'd be interesting to compare the Grand Marshal, Burnside, and Bluebuck around a racetrack. Considering that the Bluebuck likely would weigh a bit more than the other two vehicles, its extra power may be able to make it go rather quickly for a big sedan.

 

A LaFerrari equivalent, I would have called the Civetta Martello instead.

 

Mitsubishi Debonair anyone? I know this is an American car but the resemblance is undeniable. Am I the only one who sees this?

 

maybe body wise but the mechanical bits including the frame will be based on the OP as heck (for Demo Derbies) 1964 Chrysler Imperial

 

Wasn't it going to have an X-frame?

 

Not really. I remember Gabester saying the safety was going to be somewhere between the paper-like Chevrolet Bel Air and the invincible Chrysler Imperial.

 

The burnside is heavier.
by.a.country.mile.

 

With all the talk of demolition derbies revolving around this particular car, I wonder if it will be the first stock vehicle to be released with removable glass in the doors. At this point in the game's development, the removed glass of a dirt track racer or demolition derby car can be simulated only halfway - all the glass in the main body can be taken out, but the glass in doors and hatchbacks remains in place.

The Bluebuck certainly fits the profile of a typical demolition derby car, and I think I can speak on behalf of many people when I say one of the first things I want to do with it* is to strip out parts and back into another car as fast as humanly possible.

I wouldn't hold my breath for an official demolition derby configuration though; I think those will have to wait until the devs get the game's physics and each vehicle's collison mesh just the way they want them.



*Admittedly, the first thing I want to do with it is diplomacy. Take the highest-end version in black, get a black Miramar Luxe, and do diplomacy head on at 60 MPH. Fender flags recommended but not required.

 

for me, it's either doing a derby with it or crushing it with a monster truck

 

That could be rectified fairly easily. Right now, windows are separate meshes but not separate parts, as opposed to the "main" glass areas.

 

I have to admit a late 60s Japanese high end luxury sedan would be awesome in this game.
I do see some resemblance maybe because Japanese car design choices were inspired by american models back then.

 

now all we need is a truck from the mid 1930's to the end of the 50's. that would be cool
