    Wonder if the devs will consider giving the I-Series its old front from the concept renders when it comes time for a revamp. This front looks a lot sleeker imo:

    The original render's front looks like a Covet imo. The original render's bumper trim also looks weird to me because of how it dips down at the fender.

    I hope so. I would love to see an official shooting-brake/hatchback version of this car, and presumably more modern facelifts (like the D-Series and Roamer)

    I hope mostly in a big revamp of GM and H-Series with official Crown Vic or Town car facelift for GM, with wagon body, and i hope an Econoline or E-Series facelift for H-Series, with new configs and new longer body. And i hope in new german sedans, like the two older generations of Opel Vectra

    Am I the only one who wants to see an official drag Pigeon with a swapped Bluebuck V8 in the back? I know there's a mod like that but it would be better quality if it was official

    Why is it that the knallhart can get to 198mph but if I equally-spec a custom config, it can only get to 154? I couldn't find any speeding limiter in the parts.

    Transmission tunes. I think one has the racing ECU and the other is just a sport ECU. The final drive is probably different

    If you're pegging out the tach, swap in a taller (smaller number) final drive.
    If not, up the power and take the wing off, if installed.

    I know from previous experience that a stock 3000i automatic is gear-limited to 170MPH and can reach a significant fraction of that unassisted, so 100% that's a gearing limitation in a shorter-geared model.

    IT WOULD BE AWSOME TO HAVE A V8

    Also, it would be period correct.
    I mean, the I-Series obviously resembles an e28 with some w124 and old Audi 80 sprinkled in there, but it’s configurations are heavily Merc-inspired. And, as you probably know, there were 400e/e420 and 500e/e500 models using the m119 V8. So I would say that a v8-Version could maybe happen in a remaster. Maybe, and hear me out, even a v12 swap… I mean, we’ve seen it done before with some guy from the Netherlands putting an m120 into a 190e…

    Edit: We also really need some klakety inline four, five and six cylinder diesel engines (begs in om606)
