Its the only vehicle (i think) that was included from the start which hasn't got a remaster. So yeah its definitly needed.
So, it seems most of us are on the same page when it comes to new teaser, Covet remaster. A question arises though, what kind of new content we may be getting with the new remaster? A 205 GTI like homologation special config that is mid engined, as well as group B config, which would be welcome addition. What else new though? Proper EUDM and JDM configs with engines fitting to the country/regional standards? Maybe even a superturbo config? It is a wishful thinking, but would be satisfying to see official twincharged vehicle in the game. Hillclimb config is also prolly on the cooking, maybe even potentially using group b homologation special as a base? Would certainly be a looker and go like hell
There's a possibility that the new mid-engined Covet is a street car, not a rally one, just like the Renault Clio V6, which is one of the coolest cars from its time.
Cliov6 is basically the successor to Renault 5 turbo, Peugeot 205 GTI and metro 6r4. My guess would be that covet is closer to being a homologated rally car than something like Clio V6 as there are stark production age differences and the fact that covet is closer to aforementioned trio in years produced than something like cv6
You're right. I didn't know that the 205 GTI and the MG Metro 6R4 had road versions, hahaha. Actually, they do, and they're really cool.
Group B homologation required 200 cars to be built, so there are street legal versions of the Lancia Delta S4 and Ford RS200 too.
Given the game's initial release only came with 5 cars (Covet, GM, D-Series, H-Series, Bolide) & thus far only 3 of them have been remastered, I think its fair enough that the Covet finally gets its turn. But I do agree that there are other cars a bit more desperate for a remaster. Namely the Moonhawk & Sunburst.
Don’t forget that we had Van remaster and Bolide remaster in one update. Bastion also came a few weeks later. If the covet gets it there’s still potential for another remaster. I don’t think we will be seeing another vehicle, since the new civetta is in the concept phase. Probably update after this one, though.
For anyone questioning whether or not the widebody kit is for the covet It lines up perfectly* with the existing body and trim lines over the covet. *There are a few differences in the general curvature, but I am willing to bet that's due to this being a refreshed covet design. I should also note that the camera angle, while good, is not perfect, which could also be a contributing factor.) If one was to extend the bodywork of the existing covet, including the new curvature seen in the widebody, it would extend out from almost the exact same position as the existing arches on the car.
OMG lets hope its the Covet. I am wishing for a sedan version. As i said time before. As i love the Small 80s Small FWD ecoboxes. Smaller then Pessima and legran, Something i can abuse. Be good to get some new Engine meshes. As well as some overall updates. If it is not. I think it may be a new hatch. Of some sort but maybe not. As they working on the new super car. I small a Covet remaster. Even if its not a sedan. Maybe a 4 door hatch. OH while am here. Anyone wishing for a fastback version. Like the old CRX. as a Kid i hated them. Now i kinda like them. LOL. What ever it is i cant wait.
Oh shit, I meant Covet --- Post updated --- Fixed this quote to the names I actually meant.. no idea why I said Bolide
Yep, a small, light and nimble FWD (or even AWD, since the Covet's got IRS) 2-door glasshatch coupe would be a great addition for expanding the Covet bodystyle lineup! If anything, such a car is missing from the BeamNG lore! Imagine it with the ZXi DOHC 1.5/GTz 2.0 Inline-4s, the ZXi/GTz Struts, the Ibishu Blades/Type-LS/Type-ZS wheels, some special ZXi/GTz graphics and an LSD! Man, these two versions look lit already!
Speaking of possible Covet body styles... It's worth noting that the third gen Civic did have a 4WD shuttle varient. It's certainly less cool than a CRX and a lot more work, but I do love my quirky cheap car/truck challenge off roaders. Though between the LeGran and Pigeon/Wigeon that niche isn't actually empty anymore...
