Update Speculation thread

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.

 

we all know you got the name "civetta fulmine" from the concept list (not judging). Otherwise, I think everything (except the AWD) might actually be available. AWD just does not suit his car, for me.

 

I honestly didn’t realize fulmine was on the concept list. Just went into translate and put a bunch of words that would sort of fit a super car until I found one I liked.

 

Another ‘speculation’ which is probably completely wrong lol,
Id like to see something official to be done with that tire stack prop, it has so much potential but it is just lame, (fun fact since alpha 0.3 is hasnt changed apart from pbr) like why does it need to be a solid object? ive never seen a car that needs about 6 tires on one wheel

 

Plus agent_Y already made a mod to fix that. which also raises the question of more dynamic maps, including tire walls on racetracks that aren't simply absorbing force.

 

I know, and i do use it, but it would be cool to see what the devs could do to it

 

the concept stage was right about the bluebuck, legran (i think it had the bruckell legran) and wendover
whose to say they didnt just dig the fulmine name out too?

 

"We hereby issue a cease and desist letter for equipping your Fulmine with the UTR Voltaire wheels, equipping the rear view mirrors of your Fulmine with red socks and changing the badges and the name of the car to 'Pivetta'. You are no longer eligible for acquiring our vehicles."

Plus, who the hell would diesel-swap a Supercar? That's pure anomaly!

 

I'm wondering if this is going to be similar to the SBR, and have two completely different drivetrains, perhaps with different styling as well.
something like a mid-range supercar with a V8 or V10, possibly turbocharged in the special track model shown in the first sketch, but like the eSBR, there's a sleeker, lower electric version, outputting some >1500hp.

using the same chassis for multiple cars isn't unheard of these days, ferrari's 296, F8, and SF90 are all on the same platform, and iirc most mclarens were built on the MP412C's chassis up until recently.

iirc none of those names were on the concept list, only the hopper (and arguably the Jargl DT825 which became the DT40L)

 

The biggest question is: is it going to be a normal supercar or an actual hypercar.

 

im looking at it now and it has that sort of capsule top styling and funny ear mirrors that give me a sort of Pagani vibe, combined with some basic italian styling
id say a hypercar a la italy is in order
