Update Speculation thread

I imagine the MR Turbo marking means Mid-Rear Turbo, basically confirming what we already knew was coming, a mid rear engined Covet rally car and, in the teaser’s case, probably a turbo 4-Cylinder homologation model.

 

"Porn" is a word not normally used for a Covet, hahah! It indeed is though! It looks just amazing!
Yeah, since "MR" means "Midship Rear" (or "Midoshipu Rearu", for speaking a bit of Japanese ) and it says "TURBO", it most certainly is gonna have the 2-liter DOHC Inline-4 with a Turbocharger. The 2.7 V6 with only RWD would make it a death trap of a car, but let's wait to see if it also gets a Group B version (V6 TT with AWD would make it an all-weather monster)!

 

NEW LIGHTS WIDEBODY NEW CONFIG NEW PARTS NEW CAR YADA YADA YADA

 

New wheels as well



I don't remember seeing them in game before

 

Interesting, it gonna sound just like it?

 

Very interesting in fact!
That's a great V6 soundtrack. But if it's gonna have an Inline-4 (which it most probably will), I don't think so.
On the other hand, in Christmas of 2021, United wrote about some new sounds being tested in BeamNG - a V6 and a cammed V8 sound. The V6 in particular sounds quite close to the sound in the video you posted. So nothing is certain, I'd say.

 

I don't think it will, it will most likely have a I4 rather than a V6, but who knows

 

Give a listen to Renault 5 turbo or 206, you will get the idea of how it may sound
Or it will sound like just a bug standard inline 4 sample from bng

 

ok at this point I am confirmed idiote

 

This was also used for near and far sound testing

 

I cannot tell you how glad I am that I was wrong about there being no teaser today, thank god

 

Does this mean the update will be sooner?

 

probably.

 

maybe in a few weeks

 

I guess it depends on what we see next week

New Teaser

 

Yep we've been discussing this.

 

I doubt we will see the update for at least a week or two. The main event (New Bolide) hasn't properly been shown yet. I reckon we will get to see it next week at the earliest with the full update sometime the week after that maybe

 

One of the things that strikes me about this Covet (beyond the new badging, the turbocharger, the vented fender flares, the apparently new wheels, and the amber turn signals) is that the black plastic panel on the back is now a heckblende.

I wonder if that's a sign of a facelift, or the dev team is working on differentiating the trim levels a bit more. In any case, I'm hoping that they remember to leave an 'empty' option as a possibility for stripped-down configurations.

 

I just want it as a parts option to have the word "heckblende" in the parts selector. It's a fun word
