    Then just change the engines? I really don't see why its necessary to add extra configs when the ones we have are already good enough.

    Lol there's probably more configs at our disposal than what any brand would have for their cars IRL throughout their gen life cycle, even taking out the racing and modified versions.

    If FCV stands for anything, it probably stands for something in French.

    I'm tempted to say "Futur Cherrier Voiture", but that's grammatically incorrect. French turns things like that the other way round when compared to English, so doing it properly would probably result in VCF.

    In most french companies the acronyms are in English, partly because it is fashionable to use english words but mostly because products (especially cars) are developed by several teams around the world who do not speak French.

    But we are in the world of Beam so why not :rolleyes:

    I agree that more electric versions would be nice. The description of the Vivace E even hints at those arguably or why do they specifically speak about the medium range version?

    ??? I thought we were talking about the 300hp I4 Arsenic not the 500hp(?) I5 powered Arsenic
    No? Its the one right below the AWD ttsport trim thing. The mid trim one is the N/A I6. This is the turbo I6.

    The reason I needed the name was for a Vivace vs Sunburst comparo. That is the almost top of the line K.

    but bear in mind the K series doesn't have any TTsport configs, which will likely eventually come with a V8 or V12.

    Probably a V8. No V12, its not an S class coupe.

    the R231 SL came with a V12. and plus, keep in mind there's a mesh file literally called "V12parts" which contains larger unused exhausttips called "etkc_exhausttip_L/R_v12".
    though I do agree it makes more sense to give it a TT V8, It can fit a 6cyl long engine, and a v12 might still make sense in a vert grand tourer-ish config.

    I hate to be that guy, but I'm totally going to be that guy.

    ETK K-Series

    You're right. It's a K-Series. It's not like Mercades owns copy right on "V12"

    What's with the parallel with the SL?

    How is a V12 a natural extension of a range currently constituted of I4 and I6 engines... for a car that's essentially a coupè 800 Series (so, a compact executive)?
