Update Speculation thread

Since a D series Facelift is in the works. I hope that means we will be getting options for new door cards,door mirrors, door handles, and dashboards. Really make the pre facelift really feel like a prefacelift like we complained about before 0.19 was released.

 

Sadly no.

It sucks because in my personal opinion, the 4.1 I6 is the 2nd best modern Gavril motor, with the 5.5 being the best.

 

Yes, it does. You can now add a fuel-injected intake and a late ECU to the engine to gain 22 horsepower, from 165 to 187.

It's not much, but it's something.

>more interior options
>different doors

It didn't happen for the Roamer (as far as I know); I doubt it'll happen for the D-Series, as much as it needs more differentiation between the different versions.

 

It probably wouldn't be hard to make a newer-gen vanilla D-Series based on the pre-facelift Roamer since that has been done multiple times before by modders, especially if those parts hints that happening. It might just be a newer-style refresh based on the already existing body, such as a more recent dashboard (the dash itself is already a selectable part in the configurator) along with the seats and lights.


Inb4 facelift roamer parts and split tailgate for a d-series blackwood. the taillights on the facelift roamer already reminds me of it.

 

thats an ugly car imo

 

Tbh, I thought this update would have more features, but I'm sure they'll add those later. I was really looking to the West Coast USA thing. Oh well, maybe this will be like 0.18 or whatever.

On another note. The new Roamer facelift is really cool.

 

I feel like there might be a facelift bed and they will put like early second generation F250 tailights

 

Now for sure, the H will get a 2000s facelift, but an older model would be very nice, since some of us like that older/ kinda squarer feel, D-series got an older model, why not the H?

 

I know, right? Also, what about a 60's H-series and D-series. About 5 or so years older then AR162B's mod?

 

When i think about it, i would prefer pre-restyle/facelift models of some already existing car than a new one.

 

The Roamer face-lift made the vehicle itself look more luxurious. I think an air-suspension system, a moonroof, and traction control on the top-end trims would complement it well.

 

Those have been on all cars for years, and are explicitly for modded parts that don't fit under any existing slot.

 

there are other empty spots too.

 

From the Port Remaster video. Call me crazy, but doesn't the Bolide look a bit different? Can't quite pick out what it is exactly.

 

It definitely has a widebody of some sort.

 

It appears to have new wheels.

 

It isn't the new front end of the D Series that looks off, but the sides that remain unchanged since 2013. Here's a quick mockup of what the devs should do if they plan to add a restyling to it.
(open it to watch it better)
Notice how the superior line that runs across the entire side is deleted, and the body gets rounder like early 2000s Silverados. Some little changes (like the extended front bumper, modified taillights, bigger wheel arches, and black undercoat) are really welcome too.
I hope devs read this comment and take note before it gets released, as it seems that the truck isn't finished yet..

 

I'll just leave this here....

 

huh. It reminds me of the 2000's Subaru outbacks.

 

the problem with doing that, is unlike a 2000 facelift, a ~1985 van would have a completely different body, closer to the D series in shape.


and in regard to the bolide seen in the video, there are certainly a few differences. first, the config isn't an existing one, it has the spoiler, and competizione wheels, but no diffuser, and no wheel flares. (it also appears to have metallic paint)
The most interesting things are the body line on the bottom part of the door, where it normally doesn't have the slight chamfer seen on the one in the video, and the 3 vents on the B pillar are replaced by a scoop.
the exhaust is also a larger diameter than the standard one, though it's not as big as the "custom" one which I put in my replicated image.
