    Theres only two configuration were equipped with 4.4l v8 engine:
    "858 Drift" & "Rennspecht 8R"
    Maybe add sth like"848 ttSport"or"858 ttSport+"?
    And there's no 848 and 858 trunk lettering so far.

    As someone who's been getting into drag-racing a bit on Beam, I wouldn't mind seeing drag variants of the 800 and K-Series using more powerful versions of the 4.4L V8. I'm a bit surprised those weren't added in the refresh.

    But yeah, quite surprised that the 800 Series has so few V8 variants, while the K-Series has six.

    I think it'd be cool if there was a bored out 4.4 to maybe a 4.7?

    I saw in blender that there are 848 and 858 lettering for the ETK 800 series as well as the texture base maps for more powerful variants (up to 700), BeamNG should definitely use more of them.

    That would be nice to see, yes. Although I think increasing the displacement to 5.0L would also work fine. (I'm guessing 4.7L is because of the Merc M278? That also had a bored- and stroked-out version called the M157, which was 5.5L.)
