Ghost Cauli's Bolide Collection Because the name Bolide Expansion Pack has been already taken Let's be honest: vanilla Bolide configs are great, but they're pretty basic, not to say boring. You either get a comfy prefacelift that's barely faster than a 200BX, a rather quick GTT, or a GTR that's trying to send you to the shadow realm. So why not expand it with more OEM and aftermarket parts – all fitting the existing lore and era? Download: Get early access on Patreon. Full repo release coming soon in Q3/Q4 2025. What you get: 25+ factory and custom configs for Civetta Bolide, Hundreds of new high quality parts, Performance upgrades, including new engines and suspension parts, Programmable ABS and driving safety electronics (ESP), A selection of inverted tailgates, so hot this season. More information: The Bolide always felt incomplete compared to what a real supercar of its era would have offered. Contemporary sports and supercars usually had dozens of different variants (sometimes even one-offs) plus strong aftermarket support. But the Bolide, despite getting some new content with the remaster like the twin-turbocharged GTT and Group 5 GTR, still only offered about five meaningful configs when it should have had the variety you'd expect from Civetta's flagship. This pack fills that gap with both OEM variants that should have existed and the aftermarket scene that would have naturally developed. On the factory side, you get cars like: the 290 GTA as the lightweight road and track focused version of the early model, the 290 GTE as a hardcore Le Mans-inspired track weapon, and the GT2 as the slowest late Bolide you can get, especially with a 5-speed auto. The aftermarket side captures what would have happened if the Bolide became a popular tuner-exotic in the 90s. You get the full treatment: tuner nosecones, wings, those distinctive teal taillights, underglow kits, massive exhausts, and even a wagon conversion inspired by the Greddy/Trust RX7. Of course, each config comes with the performance upgrades it needs. Think new engines, suspension parts, performance upgrades, and new transmission options that actually fit what the car is supposed to be. Important notes: This expansion pack requires the GC Commons package (soon on the repo) for wheels and shared materials. If you find any issues, please report here or in the BeamNG Discord thread. You are not allowed to use the mod or any of its parts in your projects during the beta. Do not re-upload. The full release version will be posted on the repo anyway.

Have you ever noticed that the GTT intercooler position makes no sense on the pre-facelift Bolide? Well, I refitted stage 1-3 vanilla turbos, totally not inspired by some horse-brand cars. Should I nerf them, considering this spot is not that great for cooling, compared to the original position? Also, the off-white interior is neat, isn't it?
That type of notched engine cover has needed to exist for too long! So aggressive. Looking forward to some nice Bolide parts.
Nice, any updates to the vanilla BeamNG cars is a good day...looking forward to trying them out when ready
Wow, cloud are finally gone, we can now cleary see the massive ambition of this pack! With this work In addition with Nekkit's bolide pack, the Bolide will have as much configs and variety as she always deserved. if the bolide could speak, i'm pretty sure that she'll thanks you ^^
Heard you like tailgates. What you can't see here is new drift steering and (experimental) dynamic coilovers with working antisquat. Spoiler: How the new coilovers work The DriftGear coilovers use a dual-rate spring system - soft initially for better compliance and traction, but automatically stiffening under heavy compression to control body movement during aggressive driving. This gives you better ride quality and grip during normal driving while still maintaining body control when pushing hard. The adjustable anti-squat geometry lets you tune how the rear end behaves under power by changing the suspension mounting points. This is particularly useful for controlling weight transfer during drifting or hard launches while maintaining consistent handling characteristics. TL;DR: Soft when you want it, firm when you need it, plus adjustable geometry to control how the rear squats under power.
This new suspension setup sounds very promising. if combined with abs/eps feature, the Bolide should handle almost like a modern supercar. ^^ Otherwise, the tailgate is very well-done, this "sporty-classic" style, match perfectly with Bolide desing. is this part meant to be on a stock config? to my mind, I'll see it on an exclusive model in limited edition, or for a "pre-lift: the first gen Bolide 350 that would have been produced during 1or2 years before vanilla 350
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Spoiler I also wanted to add a custom boost controller there, but it will be included in the turbo kits themselves It was actually meant to be an aftermarket tailgate to go along with a custom hood and the Type 1 body kit, like here: Some new parts: Civetta Veloce wheel in two new colors: bronze and black + centerlug variant. Bubble drag rear quarterpanels for the prefacelift body (and rally tailcone):
Really hoping that all of these kits are getting decent UV maps for skins, I've been planning to make a sizeable Bolide-specific skin pack (kinda like a "spec-series" type thing) and these kits could really make for some sweet variations between designs. And (although I likely suspect it is, given your taste for liveries) if that isn't in the plans, then I wouldn't be against doing some UV mapping myself.
I'm keeping the vanilla UV layout (which is fine on its own), but I try to avoid overlapping and other common issues. So yeah, it should be fine for the most part. I'd rather you helped me with liveries
Knowing the vanilla UVs well enough, idk about it being "fine" - but I'll take your word for it And I'd def be down to assist with some liveries, maybe once the new year hits. Just throw me a PM on here or Discord or something.
i got a question the new exhausts will they also be available for NA or are they like the vanilla ones coupled with the turbo ?
Tl;dr: yes. There are three sets, NA, turbo (for vanilla turbo kits), and universal (for my custom intakes). Each set has same exhaust tips (so you can install NA tips on turbo and vice versa) with custom sounds. Slow --- Post updated ---
