    If BeamNG somehow gets its own model cars made (probably never) what company do you think each car would look best as?
    What I think:
    • Legran: Matchbox
    • Moonhawk: Hot Wheels
    • Special: could go either way
    • Bolide: Hot Wheels
    • 800 Series: Matchbox
    • I-Series: Hot Wheels
    • K-Series: either way
    • Barstow: Hot Wheels
    • Bluebuck: Hot Wheels
    • D-Series: both
    • Grand Marshal: Matchbox
    • H-Series: Matchbox
    • Roamer: Matchbox
    • T-Series: Matchbox?
    • SBR4: Hot Wheels
    • Sunburst: Hot Wheels?
    • 200BX: Hot Wheels
    • Covet: both
    • Hopper: Matchbox
    • Miramar: Hot Wheels
    • Pessima (1988): Hot Wheels
    • Pessima (1996): Matchbox
    • Pigeon: Matchbox
    • Wendover: both

    Hmmm. I think the LeGran could be both because it can be made into a great track car.

    true that. the LeGran without any mods is quite boring though. that's what makes it fun to smash.

    I like the sport, but unmodified they are terrible.

    I just love the way my tuned one drives.

    I would rather see the cars as something like an M2 machines diecast or some other more detailed diecast instead of a Matchbox or a Hot Wheels. They just can't do these cars justice.

    I would love to have the Burnside Special up on my shelf with a few of my other M2 Machines :p

    I just chose hot wheels and matchbox because people know about those ones the most. I would like to eventually see ones like those collector model ones.

    I can imagine the barstow being an original redline car with spectraflame paint.

    I liked Matchbox a lot more a few years ago, when the cars were actually good quality like this: (opening doors), and unlike this: , and before they started making silly made-up cars like this:

    I think they both are really cool toy car makers, but I do sorta prefer Matchbox because of how realistic they were. By that I mean they had everyday, normal cars in there, while hot wheels had insane modded cars.

    But now matchbox makes gooey melted fake plastic cars while even though Hot Wheels lost some of its cool features they still stayed Mostly the same since the 60s.

    The list in the OP is great, and I wouldn't be one to contest it. I would love hot wheels/matchbox versions of the Beam cars. Although 1:24 revell/tamiya/whatever models would be even cooler.

    Maybe 1:16 or 1:12 versions for the sportier ones like the SBR4 and the Boldie.

    A Pigeon model should be 1:6.

    Or the Pigeon could be full size as it would be the easiest to fabricate.
