Update Speculation thread

From the Cherrier reveal:

 

Surprised we haven't got one of these yet, honestly. Though I suppose it's not very useful without some way of keeping cars attached to it (other than joining the nodes directly).

 

Lol you guys really do get off to trailers

 

On topic of trailers, I would really love to see the D-Series get an official gooseneck towhitch & a 2 or 3-axle trailer to compliment it. I know we have the mod for the D-Series which I love already, but having an official solution that won't get outdated anytime soon would be better

 

Since they're adding an electric Cherrier, I wonder if more cars will get electric powertrains.. Would be super cool to see electric swaps.

 

Most of the modern cars (admittedly that's not many) could get factory hybrid systems or low production electric systems. Some older cars could get aftermarket or low production factory ones. An old electric car with a trunk full of ancient batteries with a range of 30 miles would be nice for the sake of driving cars most of us will never be able to drive.

 

I would like engine swaps in particular.
The hopper already has the gavril v8
Like in the ibishu 200bx it would fit without a problem and most 200sx owners that make a drift build just put a v8 in it so it would not be wierd.

 

did you mean miles, not miles per hour?

 

Yes, but I have a feeling it's probably the same for both measurements in most of those old electric cars...

Edit:

EVA's Fairmont conversion had 22 6V lead acid batteries paired with a single 30hp motor. Good for 40 miles and 55mph.

The Nissan C130 Laurel EVs had a 21hp motor, 40 mile range, and 53mph top speed. And a two speed manual IIRC.

The EV Ford Ranger had 90hp, somewhere around 70mph top speed, Lead-Acid batteries in 1998 and NiMH's in '99. Range was 87/115 miles respectively at 45mph.

It almost actively annoys me that we do not have an "if it fits it ships" engine swap system. That would add a ton to vehicle customzation and career mode, be a lot of fun, and show off the strengths of the game.

 

beasuce there unrealistic have you seen V8 in 240SX?

 

They are everywhere... People LS swap those regularly.

 

I mean the engine from the pidgeon is pretty punchy, i would like to put it in a covet and go to 10.000 rpm
Or a modern v8 in The gaga BaBa or BuBu

The BaBa is the barstow you dip

 

Wouldn't it just be the "ba"?

 

It would be really cool to have an ICE converted to electric. I wanna drive an electric motor mated to a regular ICE transmission.

 

Even better would be a EV manual like this combined with the EV swaps/conversions.

you’re supposed to double the two letter word, so Moonhawk becomes momo, Wendover becomes wewe, and etc.

 

But BlueBuck has 2x "Bu", hence why I use it as a short form of it's name. I guess if your formula is the accepted nomenclature then I shall now on call the Covet the CoCo.

 

Please for the love of god don't revive this unfunny forum meme. Gaga Bubu was bad enough, please do not start another one.

 

when you all think sadlad wewe will come?
