    Everyone's excited over looks, but I wonder how this thing will handle on the track.
    The car looks pretty long (or at least from these screenshots with fancy angles), going to assume it will push on the front wheels in turns. I'm sure it will be all-wheel-drive, so there will be some understeer through the turns when mixed with that powerful engine. The car is also from the 80's, there will be quite a bit of turbo lag.

    But we'll never know until it comes out...

    Apparently there will be RWD versions. May or may not be a long car; never noticed that before the ttSport screenshot came out. In any case, I'm guessing the RWD versions will exemplify all the inherent goodness of that layout.

    ETK should stand for Emden Turbine und Kugellager, which means Emden Turbine and Ball-Bearing.

    If anyone speaks German here, it would be nice if you could verify this. I don't actually speak German ;D

    IMO ETK should stand for "Elektronischer Technik Krams", means "electrical technology stuff", seems accurate to me :p

    AW MAN this is beautiful. Reminds me of a Merc 190E or a Vauxhall Lotus Carlton. I absolutely cannot wait.

    The answer is actually on page 1:

    ...though even Gabe is unsure of that, and is likely a nonsense phrase when translated.

    I could remove the front differential from the in-game parts menu if it is AWD anyways. It's a 4-door, so I assume it's going to be a bit longer than usual.

    It's like the japanese tuner RWB...
    RWB stands for Rauh Welt Begriff and it doesn't have sense at all in german language. It's like someone put some random german words, took the first letters from it and there you go with a branding :cool:

    Not really much to wonder about, throw the biggest open diff you can on it and some old 5" tires on the back racing tires on the front, remove the rear brakes, rev it up and throw it into first gear while holding the brakes down. If you do that pretty much every normal car in the game is capable of doing a burnout unless its fwd or all wheel drive, if its front wheel drive you just do the same thing but backwards(big tires in the back small in the front) and if its allwheel drive you need to convert it to 2wd. If you mean drifting then once again, pretty much every normal car is capable of it if you force it to.

    Long wheelbase is good for drifting, so it will hold angle very well, much like the 200BX.

    ETK should stand for ewig teuer komfort which means eternally expensive comfort.

    ETK is actually an acronym for the advice you need when buying an ETK

    Expensive Trim K?

    Why the car's name is just 2400i? Should it be 2446ttS, 2444i or something?
