Update Speculation thread

WOW this is stunning. AM not into super cars often but you guys made me hyped.

This and a basic Carby Covet gonna make this update worth it wait.

 

So the sound isn't a placeholder, it's just a flat 8 or more??
Or is it just a really wide angle V8

 

To be fair, last year's Winter Update came out on December 8th, a couple of weeks before the calendar start of winter. Late May to early June is pretty much the cultural start of summer, much like how late November to early December is the cultural start of winter.

 

You can see the V angle of the cylinder banks at the front of the engine. Probably a 120 Degree V8 similar to the New Mclaren Artura and 298 GTB V6s.

 

So... who else is looking forward to creating very expensive pileups?

 

The idea of a 120° V block in game is actually really exciting. That's not something which ever comes up when we are all discussing missing block types

 

Ibishu doesn't use Flat-4s. And this sound is a bit too refined for it to be used in an 80s vehicle anyways. The 80s Ibishu Inline-4s sound rattly.

You're right but we're not talking about a normal unibody here, in which you remove the roof and it gets all wobbly. We're talking about a central tub design with front and rear subframes. The central tub has to be sturdy and solid enough to be able to support the Targa version and the subframes play no role on this one.

 

While the idea of a block with a different angle is new, I don't think 120° is realistic. As far as I understand this doesn't make sense for V8s. I quickly checked the wiki arcticle and it mentions 90°, 60° and 45°.

 

Besides the obvious car updates, i hope they fixed the AMD CPU Problem.
Performance went massive down with 0.24 even with a 5900X..

 

I can already see myself slamming this bad boy into the chicane on the WCUSA track.

 

I’m willing to bet the sounds Diamondback posted are not for the super car but for the covet MR TURBO because it sounds more V6 like and we already know ibishu uses V6s

 

But the mister turbo doesn't have traction control. This is a debug window for TC and ESC

 

those lightspeed shifts are extremely unrealistic for an 80s japanese hatch

 

The covet is mid eighties and the d series with TC (still no ESC) is end of the nineties.

 

Who knows...maybe the SBR4 is getting a remaster because it might share a modified chassis with the new Civetta? I really hope they get the sounds right this time, they got slammed with complaints & annoyances about the sounds on the bastion, especially the v6s in both the bastion/pessima.

 

i really really hope it's a placeholder, it sounds very generic movie v8 to me

edit: it's undoubtedly a SBR4

 

Are you talking about the two sounds we heard in Christmas? The Stratos V6 and the cammed V8?

 

VERY unlikely. But what if it's a MR. covet with a SBR swap. And Morden driver aids.

Like a Resto mod cover MR

 

That might be an aftermarket config
