same
love this car, but it feels sort of odd having only one bumper design...

 

I like it, but it looks kinda plain. Needs more bulges to properly mimic a modern German sports Coupe.

 

It also looks too 2005 to be released in 2015.

 

Amazing!
Could we hope for a convertible version in the future? (fancy mechanical roof would be awesome!)
The game doesn't have any official convertibles and it would make a nice addition to the variety of cars.

 

My opinion about the design:

Overall appearance of the car is quite nice, well done

Rear: Looks somehow boring and tailights have weird lines.. but otherwise I like it.


Front: Angry and low, I like it. Except the grille is where I want to close my eyes.


After all, nice to have whole new car in the game

Edit: Heh, I had to do a bit same than Zagato does for some real cars, although not so big difference:

Left is mine wip (just for fun, not going to be a mod) simple idea, right is the original one.


Hmm.. gotta continue designing ->

 

When will there be wood and carbon fiber interior trims for K series as well as 800

 

I really like how we FINALLY have something that is very Supra-like in this game. It also is very, very modern GT-R in driving. Overall, though, it would be cool if we had some sort of race/drift/custom version of both ETKs in the game.

The K-Series is to the SBR4 what the Moonhawk is to the Barstow: bigger, heavier, more sedate, and less powerful. Also, the Moonhawk and K-Series have similar rooflines, like the SBR4 and Barstow have similar rooflines. However, the SRB4 and K have comparable tail light designs, and also both are available with AWD and a turbo setup. The K understeers a little more than the SBR4, it's slower off the line, and braking is a little less than the Japanese supercar. However, I like how the K feels more like a middle-aged-man's car rather than a young man's car, which allows me to have a decent amount of fun while not going too fast. Overall, great work, devs, on another awesome car!

 

Can we please keep the "This car totally looks like..." posts to a minimum? They're incredibly annoying and not helpful even in the slightest. Thank you.

 

This is my opinion so don't bash me for it but I think the K understeers a lot less than the SBR4 due to the shorter wheel base. Toe out for the SBR4 is really the only thing for it to not understeer.

Isn't this feedback for the car? Some of these aren't helpful at all.

 

So far this is the most expensive vehicle in BeamNG. Just like to point that out.


Wait never mind i think I was wrong.

 

Kinda ridiculous to have a $106,000 sports car that is small. I know its a German sports car but that seems over the top, maybe at most $60,000.

 

I guess in the BeamNG universe their average wages are higher than ours.

 

I just found out that the SL Class Mercedes goes up to $108,000. Maybe it is realistic.

 

With a wheel the K series does not under-steer much at all, in fact its one of the most point-able stable cars in the game, even the AWD variant hardly under-steers under throttle.

For the SBR4 i feel it gets a worse rap than it deserves for under-steer; with smooth driving and an understanding of the car's characteristics the SBR4 is a cornering monster, plus toe out helps more in the rear than the front.

 

We can conclude the K series is much easier to drive than the SBR4.

 

Possibly the best handling car in the game. Gabester, please buy a car factory and build me one ;D

I would like to request a version with a 600 HP turbo big-block V8, reduced weight, rear wheel drive, a massive rear GT wing and diffuser, and carbon fiber everywhere.
