Update Speculation thread

it looks a bit to large to be a sunburst

 

I already imagine a drift missile variant of that thing

 

this bad boy looks really big, I hope we'll finally get some big modern engines, at least more than 6 cylinders. The idea of hybridation excites me a lot too, it would be a great addition to the game's diversity and im sure that diamondback has the lua knowlegde to implement it perfectly

 

Cars are getting larger and larger so its possible for it to be a Sunburst I guess...

Or maybe a new Pessima, why not ?

 

Yeah i agree, i was just thinking that since the door pannels and general greenhouse shapes are really really simillar.

Hey, this is a bit offtopic, but Car_Killer posted these images earlier- do you think they're renders, or edited ingame images?

 

They're probably renders, because of the timy white car behing the 200BX, and Beamng looks way better since the PBR update, but not that good at the moment

 

this seems like too much of an upsize, the sunburst is compact and this looks like a full size sedan, a pessima would be more likely than a sunburst.

 

I'm certain they're renders as well, though the AO in the backdrop looks very beamng-map ish

The pessima would have been more akin to a corolla of the era- this new design looks much more upmarket, in my opinion.

 

Yeah you're right, time will tell anyway

 

it kidna looks like some maserati-supra mk5 mashup

 

Agree, gives me vibes from the new Acura cars. Obviously beam cars are ever based on one car, but still, upmarket Japanese is my best guess.

 

higher res for those and some funny jabs because this thread always becomes a crapfest with a single image
Edit nvm i didnt refresh the page

 

because he is on the dev team which mean people usually quickly jump to conclusions

 

The Pessima (both generations) is actually a Midsize car, so the Camry/Accord models are better real-world soulmates than the Corolla/Civic ones are.
If this modern new car is American, then we're most certainly talking about a current-era Full-Size RWD Sedan, because that's what has the most interest!

 

Okay, they're really nice pics so !

 

good to know the Extended development time hasnt gone to waste

 

I’d guess it’s an upmarket Japanese or Swedish luxury/sports sedan, or an American sports sedan like the Charger. Both would make sense for career mode.
