Update Speculation thread

Yep, i tried the Formula Trucks in AMS and they're a blast to drive, a race T-Series could really work, the engine can already take 1000+ hp, we just need better suspensions, race tires, 6 speed gearbox and a cool race body

 

DRAG TRUCK. need I say more?

 

try saying "TURBOJET POWERED" at the start of that

on topic,
I am curious to see what other platform cousin cars they might come up with, I could see the moonhawk's being something as simple as a sedan version, effectively what the malibu is to the monte carlo.

for the 200bx, that's a more interesting question; perhaps they'll make some RWD executive sedan, like a markII, cefiro, debonair, etc.
but that'd be quite aesthetically similar to the pessima, so what else could they make?

 

Maybe do longer 200BX and name it 300BX?

 

Too close to the 300ZX, maybe 320RX?

 

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH YEEEEEAAAAAHHHH

 

A lower end sedan/wagon/coupe counterpart (Moonbird? Bastion), with the Moonhawk staying a PLC. A <300ci, 300-350ci, and >400ci V8 would be needed to complement the existing 378. All engines would need to be less powerful in the postfacelift. A Soliad counterpart would be cool too.

 

"300BX" should be reserved for a model of the 200BX with a bigger engine, since the number in the name refers to engine displacement. With that said, I wonder if they'll make a facelifted version called the 270BX, with the 2.7L V6 from the 1996 Pessima.

 

The modern ETKs need some details corrected.

K-Series:

1. gauge cluster is incomplete (no Diesel/Metric Diesel gauges and no extra information in the right gauge and between the gauges)
2. exhaust tip designs (one tip for two holes is just atrocious)
3. the door mirrors placement (they appear as if they are mounted in 90 degrees)
4. taillights need to have an EU version with yellow turn signals and have the built-in rear fog lights finally work
5. the "hand-below" door openers are out of place in a 2015 car
6. rework of the seats mounting, the dash (some unfinished spots in the vicinity of the center air vents and screen after 0.23 PBR update) and of the general body proportions
7. launch control on the 8-Speed DCT needs serious rework

800-Series:

1. launch control on the 8-Speed DCT needs serious rework
2. gauge cluster is incomplete (some information between the gauges is no longer shown, although the ETK Driver Experience Center video shows the cluster showing all 4 pieces of info: travelling speed, external temperature, time, instantaneous fuel consumption, top-to-bottom - also, in the Imperial Gauges, the travelling speed between the gauges is shown in km/h instead of MPH it was previously shown in)

Fully functional 800-Series gauge cluster @0:37

General:

1. more body styles (Sedan, Roadster)
2. more engines and Horsepower ECU versions (1.5 Inline-3 gas and diesel, 4.0 Twin-Turbo V8, more versions for the existing 2.0 Inline-4 gas/diesel and 3.0 Inline-6 gas/diesel, including AWD variants - the 856td certainly needs one, with 580Nm on tap)
3. The gas 2.0 Inline-4 needs its sound changed because this sound just doesn't fit a refined mid-2010s German Inline-4

 

It would be very cool to see a Soliad badged "luxury" version of the Moonhawk, something like an Olds Omega (X-body, same as the Chevy Nova)

 

Isn't 200BX too close to 200SX as well? I don't think that would be a problem

Yep, it needs a sound closer to the Vivace's I4

 

Yeah, right.

 

They could do a weird Neoclassic...thing like what lots of Japanese automakers were doing to kei cars and compacts.

 

I saw this the other day inside one of the dealerships in utah. Two covered suvs and the flag says burnside so maybe in a future update they will bring back the company with a suv but i could be wrong, just speculating it. the silhouettes look like maybe a ford explorer or range rover but i think its too curvy to be a roamer. A GM style would make sense because the burnside special somewhat looks like a 50s-60s chevy, ford or buick.

 

maybe a new burnside SUV

 

Er, I think somebody already mentioned it, but in my memory, these are Roamers (or at least the 3d model is called "Roamer under cover" or something like that). And we also have the covered Sunburst et Barstow in some places

 

Yeah you're memory is correct, they're literally just Roamers

 

Maybe it will be a new car, a second gen of Roamer?

 

It's been there since likely before the bastion's body shell would have even been modeled.
if it was a new car, it would have been in game by now.

 

i wonder if the devs plan on making a VW Bus type vehicle. it'd probably have to go under a new company cause none of the current companies try to imitate Volkswagen
