Update Speculation thread

Or at least a 1930s-1940s car.

Turn the bluebuck into the dark owl for the 60s. BATMAN IN BEAMNG LORE!!!

 

Strangely enough id love a Pessima hatchback

 

A pessima fastback maybe?

 

The 0.32 devblog stated there was an upcoming V8, which was found in the files: Update Speculation thread

Zoll put the textures on it: Update Speculation thread

It's probably a 4 stroke, which is a bummer but I'm sure sound files would've sucked to get: Update Speculation thread

Personally I'd plop down a pre-war car as a Bruckell, partially just because their roster needs to play catchup with Gavril and partially because I feel their "stick a massive engine into everything" style would fit hotrod culture better than Gavril's marginally more refined approach of "stick a massive supercharger on everything".

I'd love to see concept cars as a represented niche in game. Considering how the vintage racing branch of the career mode motorsports discipline sounds almost like a Gran Turismo 7 "love letter to car culture" idea, some "what could have been" cars would fit splendidly. While ground up concept cars would be a more difficult sell, the SP vehicles show that the team is at least willing to consider some more unique vehicles in game. As you mentioned, concept cars that borrow from production vehicles would be relatively easy to get in game... The team has done heavily modified versions of cars, such as the Civetta Dark Owl and all the racing superbuilds.

Some of the more interesting IRL examples of concepts/factory test beds would be the 2 door Range Rover that was actually a Defender test bed, the Ferrari Enzo with a stretched 348 body and LaFerrari with a stretched 458 body, Rolls Royce Phantom/Cullinan hybrid, Porsche 965 which was a 911 with a water-cooled V8, Chevy C8 Corvette with a Holden Ute body, the Prangler which was a Prowler test mule with a Wrangler passenger compartment, and the Impala SS/510 concept that had a 509ci big block instead of the later production car's detuned Corvette engine. That one is notable because the Bluebuck/Grand Marshall already follows the Impala lineage closely, so adding in a concept car predecessor to the Grand Marshall Roadsport would make sense.

 

Thief.

 

I'd love a BeamNG take on the Mazda Furai

 

How about the Briggs & Stratton or the Mustang concept?

 

Man i would love to see X164 as a new etk

The problem with really early cars is that they're not... fun. They're slow and fall apart and overheat. On very early cars, especially, there isn't a ton of possible configurations. There were huge differences between different brands' car models, but there weren't really any trim variances within the models.

I think there is still the possibility of something prewar that is fun and has lots of varients

 

Yeah, but it'd have to be more of a 1920s, '30s or even '40s car.

 

That as well, having concept cars reimagined as a viable car would be insane.

 

Too good not to share

 

Ibishu Pessima Airback?

 

I'd lean more towards getting a Pessima four-door wagon than a Pessima two-door hatchback. We've generally only seen the Pessima as a four-door model so far.

 

4 Door hatchback?

 

My take on the concept

 

For the burnside remaster, I would really love to see a 4 gears semi-automatic transmission, 2 main gears with Low/High ranges as the Chrysler M4 Vacamatic has.

The shifting between the main gears is manual and needs the clutch, but not the shifting between Low and High range wich is automated.

The torque converter is right behind the clutch, permitting to take off without the clutch. We first put any gear with the clutch, then release this last one, and we take off like an automatic transmission with the brakes and the accelerator.

This gearbox could also be in the Bluebuck in the early configs only before being discontinuited for automatic transmissions that became more efficient and less expensive with the time.
