Update Speculation thread

oh

 

I bet there won't be a modern Civetta tractor added in 0.26 (it would be cool though...)

 

I can't wait for version 0.28

 

To bridge the gap between the ~180hp GTz and the probably 300+hp Mr. Turbo

 

I bet there isn't going to be :


- mk1 pessima improvement , not even differential support for the steerable axle

- more engine swap ( like on the scintilla and the Hopper , not like on the covet )

- humans

 

I bet there isn't going to be :


Removable Door handle for more vehicles

More trailers

Less costs, more reliability, better driveability on the road... homologation specials are only needed to allow the racecars into the series, the makers probably want to spend the most time and effort on the cars that are going to win races, not the ones that are gonna ride around town or end up in a rich guy's collection

Btw here's a list of power levels between a few road cars and rally cars (different power levels depending on version/year/category)

Audi Sport quattro
Road versions - 306 hp
Rally versions - 500-600 hp

Peugeot 205 T16
Road version - 200 hp
Rally version - 350-560 hp

Renault 5 Turbo
Road version - 160 hp
Rally version - 185-350 hp

Lancia Stratos
Road version - 190 hp
Rally version - 275-320 hp

Toyota GR Yaris
Road version - 270 hp
Rally version - 500+ hp (hybrid system)

 

A small and light Ibishu RWD car in the spirit of the AE86, weighing less than a ton and being powered by the 115hp 1.5 Fuel-Injected DOHC I4 engine of the Covet ZXi/ZXi Special Edition models, would be great indeed. The 200BX is large enough and it has a large enough of an engine, so there is space for a smaller RWD coupe.
And this car can coexist with the CR-X-type car many of us want to be a part of the Covet lineup.

 

I dont think there will be RWD ( AWD maybe )

BUT yes i hope there is more Standed models LIKE DX ect. Even a 1.0 Inline 3 like the GEO.

Just versions that a JUST one step above the 4 wheel pigeon.

Steel rims. 1.0 inline 3 or maybe 1.1 inline 4. Just a FUN go karty small. Basic late 80s/early 90s Fun box you can smash with LOVE. And/Or make a beater version. I love old honda/ So you can see i love the Covet.


Cant wait

 

I agree, a RWD Covet with the engine transversely mounted in the front (not talking about the Covet MRs here, mind you) makes absolutely no sense because the platform of the car is a clear FF/FF-based AWD design and the rear end will be extremely prone to oversteer - not that a RWD transfer case can't make this possible, as proven in other cars, like the '88 Pessima, the LeGran, the Wendover and the Sunburst.
But a small and light FR car, based on an FR platform (and being smaller than the 200BX), can exist at roughly the same time as the Covet. Plus, the proposed CR-X-type car only makes sense when based on the existing FWD/FWD-based AWD platform of the Covet, so the small FR car we're talking about right now gets an even clearer role. Plus, a small RWD 2-seater soft-top Roadster, based on a later version of this FR platform, could also exist!

 

It's been confirmed for 0.26..

 

TDev's wording was vague, "update after next" could mean 0.27

 

i drew this picture [its not the best] to see what the 88 pessima would look like with the turbine wheels from the covet teaser and... im in love!

 

To be honest, I am looking forward to see the roof cargo box in the game more than anything else these days. I have already made a really cool Vivace configuration to use with it.

 

An early version of it will be in 0.26

 

wait...WHAT?! REALLY?! That's awesome! I wonder if it will have a money system, a story, or maybe more garages?

 

Tdev specified it will be a very early version, so it's probably gonna be not very different from the Rocky Start campaign, i predict it'll be a series of missions to complete, possibly with a simple money system to buy different cars, maybe with some missions requiring specific cars

 

Still sounds super exciting tho
