Update Speculation thread

Took the words out of my mouth...

Also, i don't see why they would make a 3rd gen of the Pessima, it seems a bit lazy

 

The new car reminds me for some reason, partially on Kia Stinger, mixed with Genesis G70 cues.
Though we do see it has grille, so most likely it will have petrol (and diesel?) engines. Hybrid is also possible.

 

Miramar: Am I a joke to you?

 

If this is a new Miramar then that would screw the lore of that WIP 2020 Miramar mod that @Velstydez and someone else were working on

 

Lore for mods... That's a new one.

 

Everyone: iT lOoKs LiKe ThE cAr I wAnT iN gAmE!!!

 

It looks a hell of a lot like a S90

 

Yeah it really looks like a pt cruiser to me idk

 

yeah it definitely looks like a lincoln continental mk4 to me yeah

 

I think it's a sedan. Maybe modern... Maybe not...

 

It likely has four wheels...

 

I wonder if tire heat will come be in this update, considering the end of the tire physics post where it said, "In the longer view, once we finish stabilizing and cleaning up the latest work, expect things to warm up a bit "

 

Didn't know of either of your points. I had heard rumours of the era about Ferrari being almost strapped for cash (just like Lancia was until Fiat bought the brand in 1969 and tbh, the future of Lancia wasn't gonna be the best either) so that would be a logical conclusion, to make more 'affordable' cars, being engineered by Ferrari but having the Fiat badge. Idk, that was what I thought.

What next? An Oscar Mayer Wienermobile?

 

We would't truly know what market this car will fill until we see some sort of dev blog post on it or at least some more screenshots.
I'm just hopeful this in't like the Wendover where we had to wait nearly 6 months untill we saw proper ingame photos of it.

I'm definitely on the guess of it being a fullsize European luxury car as it's definitely a market that needs to be filled in BeamNG (outside of mods).
Plus yah know V12.

 

I'm not too sure on it, the 6-month update is likely due to some other big backend project (which would take away from the time to work on tire thermals), and it's implied there that there is probably more fine tuning that needs to be done to the general tire mechanics before thermals can be implemented just yet.

 

In the teaser image, you can see a rearview mirror, which suggests that the vehicle's interior is at least partially done. This makes me think that the vehicle itself is pretty complete.

 

My guesses are:
If this is a modern moonhawk, then, I'd expect a an old moonhawk revamp,
Same if it were a civetta, a bolide revamp.
Or, it could be its own brand like the FCV was, and (I hope) would introduce tyre temps and stuff like that.

 

Something like an ultra muscle car would be a great way to introduce tire thermals

Of course the devs are European and can't comprehend a non-luxury car with more than 150 HP or larger than a Honda Civic, so chances are it's a "proper F-segment luxury sports saloon" or something

 

Nice image of neptune you got there
