Update Speculation thread

True, the best part of the Civettalina is that it exists IRL

 

Absolutely!! Although I only knew of the Lambo V12 version! That shows there can be more than one flavours, even in the game!
The Piccolina is also missing a dragster config, with the SBR 2.5 Flat-4 and/or the classic 60s Gavril V8s!

 

Hell, give us every top-spec engine in the game as a swap for the picco. (Ibishu 2.0t, garvil 6.9, cherrier 5 cyl)
Only half joking

There used to be mods that did both things, IDK if they still work since I haven't booted beamng in a very long time. But the 'SBR engine in the Piccolina' mod was very well put together, I like it a lot.
I'd love to see an official in-game take on this concept! A v8 would also be very interesting, probably very prone to overheating, which might make it even more interesting, but in a different way.

 

I knew that mod with the SBR engine in the Piccolina too, it was very good! V8s also found their way into the Piccolina, so I think all concepts (drag racer, widebody race car, show off etc.) can be done!

Oh come on, not yet another Inline-4! Enough already!

 

we arent getting a engine in the new car

 

Hell yeah finally we have a pedal car in the game

 

Not going to lie, I really like some of the things that you guys are speculating about. What I wouldn't give for the password to the qa_latest branch...

 

Or a Soapbox car! It would be perfect for the slopes of the ECUSA, WCUSA, Small Island USA, Italy, Gridmap, Jungle Rock Island and Automation Test Track maps! Yee-haaa!

 

I would legitimately love one in game

 

I would too! Just imagine trying to control it in 'Driver' camera mode while going down a slope! That would be action-packed!

 

a soapbox car sounds like it'd be relatively easy to mod in. i mean, someone already put wheels on a mattress. all you'd have to do is make small wheels for the cardboard box and maybe scale it all up.

 

Hmmm as i cant stop thinking about the sexy bastion.

base posting

i wonder if the base models ( witch am silly im hyped for base models )

I wonder if it will have steelies and hub caps. ( if not i will just make one using cop rims )

Also i wonder if the cop version will have rear manual windows?

and one of those cop back seats?

I think for base engines.

I dont see a inline 4 being a thing. unless maybe a Hybrid only inline 4. ( like the Aussie Nissan market Nissan pathfinder is all V6 other then the slow selling Hybrid 4 )

I think a nice 3.6 V6 will do the job. More power then a 60s pony v8.

As for inside i think we will have like a basic cotton seats.


Most off them will be white black or gray. A real Fleet model but the masses can buy.
Just without the V8 And police/taxi stuff

 

The Mustang EcoBoost has a 290 hp turbo inline 4 so why not? Actually why not both? We could have a base V6 and a mid trim EcoBoost

 

Good idea. Or make a custom body, resembling a car (or even an F1 car) but in the appropriate size!

Also, the EcoBoost is combined with a 10-Speed Automatic, so I think such a gearbox, with its low gearing in the first 7 gears, would help it move the large mass of the Bastion.
But on the other hand, why would anyone bother putting a 4-cylinder in such a car in the first place? That would be far fetched!

 

I went into detail about my predictions for the variants of the Bastion a bit ago

 

5 speed manuals are really unlikely to be used in a car on that price range (5 speed manual are mor common in sub 20k dollars cars, and even those are getting 6 speed manuals). Also, since manuals are becoming rarer, having 2 manual transmission models is even more unlikely.

 

I can dream.

 

I hope you can´t.
I like me autos!
