Update Speculation thread

That’s exactly what I was thinking.

OT but does anyone have any predictions as to what the new car they teased a while back is?

 

Maybe a

My money goes on a new euro sedan since we dont have any modern ones but what if it will be an ETK800 Remaster along with the new bodystyle? i think it looks very alike up front!

 

Definitely a different car than the 800, and I really don't think it'll be European, and definitely not German, as the 800 could easily be facelifted and given a sedan to fill that niche.

 

it looks good

 

Haven't the devs been teasing stuff more often closer to release? For a few months, it's dead af then we start to see more stuff around a month before release.

 

I strongly believe the new car will be a modern Muscle Sedan. It looks very muscular, so I don't think it could be anything other than a modern Muscle Sedan tbh.

 

I could be a hot lead, it got a really modern Dodge Charger-esque on it.
if yes it would be damn sexy!

 

well, there was the stanced version, and that's it.

 

Just imagine a modern muscle with a juicy flat-plane V8...
Gorgeous sounding engines!

 

GT350 style flat plane, not Z06 style. GIMME DAT MURIKA!!!!!

 

I think we need a new sound for older V8s. The one that is used for the Bluebuck, Burnside, Barstow and etc is bland and boring...

 

They are the same.. the difference comes from the header style not the engine.

 

Passenger van seams nice but I still dream about minivan.

 

This is update speculation, not "I'm phrasing my wishes as speculation"

 

Nah, I wouldn't say that. It sounds muscular and throaty enough for me!
But the Devs could add a "crunchy" idle for spicing things up a bit in the older highly-tuned V8s!

 

@default0.0player generously made a mod for me that adds electronic, locking and torque vectoring diffs to the electric vivace drivetrain. Maybe if you ask him nicely he would be willing to do one for the ICE powered ones too.

Speculation: Ever since CarKiller joined the official dev team, there has been no progress at all on the Ibishu Kashira Mod. A Minivan that was based on the pessima. With a pessima rework being in progress one could imagine a minivan version of it, similar to how the vivace came with its own SUV variant the Tograc.

 

Oh my!!

Now that you say this, it would be nice for the electric cars to have LSDs. The only form of differential existing right now for EVs in BeamNG is the Welded Differential in the eSBR. It's very interesting!
I'll see what I can do!

Now, back to speculation: I believe that if there was a Minivan about to enter BeamNG, then BeamNG devs would give it its own "marketing campaign", because it's a markedly different car than its Sedan counterpart. The Tograc, on the other hand, is only slightly different from the Vivace: different bumpers, side mouldings and a slightly raised suspension for giving the car a more SUV-like appearance.

 

the eSBR doesn't need an LSD, since it already has torque vectoring.

on the topic of a minivan, it's possible, since they tend to release a partner car with each remaster, but with the vehicle team already spread between the pessima and van remaster, and the new car, I don't really see that being all too likely.

As an alternative to the minivan, what if phase II of the grand marshal remaster is also happening now? presuming that the new car is a Gavril (blah blah, similarities to the omega), it would make sense for them to expand the config lineup as they did when the bluebuck came out, and with the added tie-in of the gavril assets that are already being made for the van, it seems kind of reasonable.

 

Yes but Torque Vectoring by braking isn't exactly the best thing to equip a sports car.

I don't think the Phase II of the Grand Marshal remastering is happening even as we speak but it certainly has many details in need of improvement/correction and equally as many details that could expand the choices for this platform!
