Update Speculation thread

As for your first sentence, it's just like real life: if the structure deforms, so does the airflow over it/under it/into it.
As for the rest of your comment, I don't know how CFD works either.

 

Looks like a mix from a McLaren 720 and an Aventador (maybe) from the tail (?

 

So the design of the car has been assigned to someone not in the bng staff, if I understood correctly? That's a new thing for us, isn't it? Quite interesting for me

 

*LeGran flashbacks*

Are you refering to Focht? According to Linkedin he is indeed a team member

 

Outsourcing has been a thing in BeamNG for a little while now, not sure about outsourcing design though

 

It really is an interesting concept, but i think it might end up being good for vehicle variety, if you have the same 10-20 people design every car, then every car will have have various little design elements that would almost tell you who designed it (which so far beam has been great with avoiding) but diversifying it to have outside parties help design vehicles means that vehicle diversity would certainly grow exponentially

 

Technically this isn't new as it isn't even his first car in Beam, if I remember correctly, he did the Bastion as well

 

the dude works for beamng as a concept artist. he is literally in the credits for the game.

 

Yes I was! Didn't know that, thanks a lot

 

Bastion was made by a outsourced designer.

 

correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that the modeling for the bastion was outsourced, not the design

 

You're correct. Surely the modeling, not sure about the desing.

 

incredibly zippy is probably used as wording here because it's literally a supercar
we knew it was zippy as soon as we found out it was being designed

 

Has anyone checked the recent teasers for any hidden messages?

 

I haven't found anything, apart from the fact that it looks gorgeous in green

 

Good thing Civetta isn’t Ferrari and let’s you paint your cars green.

 

Like I already mentioned earlier in this thread, I don't see much of a point in teasing a car at the beginning of its development.
Even though the two teasers we got are both very early in nature (or at least they seem to be), the team wouldn't hype up their community for something that's coming next year.
They're smarter than that.

 

That would be hilarious though.

"You have disgraced Civetta by losing the 2023 Vintage Belasco Raceday, you are no longer welcome inside a Civetta Dealership."

"We hearby issue a cease and desist letter for swapping a Cherrier 3 cylinder diesel into your 2022 Civetta model"

 

I like the new car. It looks sexy, just like a supercar should look. Reminds me a bit of a McLaren with some Koenigsegg bits.

 

Some "predictions" (wishes) for the content of the upcoming civetta, which I think "fulmine" is a reasonable name for (lightning in italian) I think that the Fulmine will not be a hypercar. Hate me for it, but hypercars are boring. You'll have a coupe, a spyder, maybe a handling variant and topspeed variant, but no customization and not many variants. they go fast and thats it. It is also too futuristic to be an aventador type thing, so I think it will be comparable to the aventador's successor because that gives tons upon tons of speed from factory, lots of tech, while still having customization and options. So, enough mumbo jumbo, variants. (Note: I will be making lots of lamborghini analogies because fanboy)

The fulmine is a Mid Engine 2 seater, powered by a 6 liter v12 sending power to either the rear or all wheels through a 7 speed DCT.

Fulmine S- Base model, RWD, Available as coupe and targa, 600hp
Fulmine GT - Mid trim, available as both RWD and AWD and as Coupe and Targa, 625HP, upgraded aero
Fulmine GTS - Highest "mass production" trim, AWD only, Coupe and Targa, 650hp, even moreso upgraded aero.
Polizia - Fulmine S, but with wee woo wee woo goodies

oh and obligatory special cars
Fulmine LR - Lightweight Racer think aventador SVJ. 700hp, AWD coupe only. 500 produced
Fulmine WMR - WMR stands for wheres my roof. Based off a GTS, but with no roof. (mclaren elva, ferrari monza, aventador j, etc)
Fulmine MS - MS stands for molto speciale meaning very special. based off a GTS. ultra limited production, with absurd looks. think veneno. coupe and targa

racecar spelled backwards is racecar
GT3 - gt3 car. i will say that i have 0 knowledge of gt3 so someone else can go into detail on this
le mans - also no knowledge on lemans but I do know there are different classes and only one actually resembles a production car so we'll just say that this car is in that class

and aftermarket
street tuned - Fulmine S targa equipped with a TBW (thicc boi works) wide body kit, a massive rear wing, and a straight pipe exhaust
drag - Fulmine GT AWD coupe equipped with an Above Ground Performance twin turbo kit making so much power that it is wanted in several countries for breaking peoples necks.
