Update Speculation thread

Bump for those who didn't see this miracle

 

I'd guess so, since it seems weird to make a car inspired by the bond bug, based on a pigeon chassis, and not give it a 3-wheeled version.
and considering the wigeon seems like an earlier car than the pigeon we've got (more 70s styling than 80s) it's possible the pigeon might be getting some facelift stuff as well.

If so, I could see the pigeon being split into:
-a 3-wheeled pre-facelift, spanning from the start of the 550cc kei car era in 1972 to 1980, and styled to look more like a mazda t1500, mitsubishi TM15, or daihatsu CM (since the 60's and 70's was a much more common time for 3 wheel trucks to exist, especially in japan)
-and a facelift, with the styling we know, and mainly offered in 4-wheel guise, making it more like a midget II,
but i'd expect it to also retain some variants to retain the "classic" 80s+3 wheel version, maybe under the guise of "export markets where it can still be sold as a motorbike".
as far as the wigeon goes, I'd guess the 4-wheeled version is going to be a sort of "facelift" done in parallel with the pigeon, but lacking any major styling changes.

 

To distract y'all from the Pigeon & Wigeon, lemme drop a bombshell of a speculation.

What if... the upcoming Bolide remaster would actually feature a new Civetta alongside it, like the suspected Pigeon remaster bringing the Wigeon with it? It would possibly be a supercar from the 2010's-ish, inspired by something like a Ferrari 458/488? We could even perhaps have the first ever GT3 config in BeamNG if that were the case

thats an ''speculation'' alright

 

that's some speculation alright.
I'm not so sure, since it seems whenever they release a new car alongside a remaster (charro with the pickup, wendover with the legran, wigeon with the pigeon, etc.) it has the benefit of a lot of assets being shared from one to the other; they make new mechanical parts for the wendover, then backport them onto the legran, etc.
But with a modern civetta, basically nothing would be shared with the bolide other than trim levels and stuff, which makes the situation more like the bluebuck release/GM remaster, which was basically just them adding a few more quick parts to make the GM fit canonically with the bluebuck.

 

page 1555. wow.

OT:
A civetta hyper/super car would be cool!

 

Hyper cars are too rare and unnecessary at this moment I think. Super car with civetta would probably work better with similiar year of production. Let's say lamborghini (countach for example) like civetta and actual reworked civetta. It could have this rival sense and possible mixed parts.
But this is getting out of the speculation section imo.

 

id doubt the game's engine even being able to utilize the stats a hypercar has without having it flop around like a meshslap

 

The Cherrier time attack config has like 750 hp, there are torque vectoring diffs and stuff the only problem is that the engine has problems with light stiff beams bit that is something that could be improved

 

While a new Civetta would be awesome, I wanna think there's more to the truck tire teaser than just tires. Being released alongside the pigeon originally, it would be a cute callback, and there is one bodystyle change I'm sure a lot of people are waiting for;

Cabover T-Series.

 

I wouldn't get your hopes up, I doubt that the T-Series is getting remaster any time soon

 

''muh truck'' nah just wait.

 

What about another civetta from a similar time period, like an F40 or something (ninety nine is a dev now so it's not a stretch,)?

 

3 and 4 wheeled wigeon ??

 

The floor is made out of floor

 

That would be nice to have, but I don't think they would make another, very similiar car to the Bolide just to give it a slightly different styling. If anything, it would most likely be just body parts, like what 99 did with his Corse

 

Cabover would probably be a separate vehicle from T-series if it does get made, but I’m not sure how likely that is.

 

The thing is, as far as I'm aware, American and European trucks have completely different sets of regulations, in terms of dimensions, weight (and also pollution, however IDK how relevant this is for the T-series since it's really quite old). On the flipside, as with many car companies, modern truck companies often share development (or straight up re-badge their trucks) for the different markets, due to how expensive R&D can be for commercial-grade vehicles. Still, the big semi-trucks are very different between the continents. But, some of the upfits, especially for the smaller city-trucks, like the tow-truck, the flatbed (non-semi version) or the box-truck, could make sense on both a European truck and an American one.
So if there's ever a EU truck, it might share upfits like the D-series and H series share some upfits. However I really doubt this will happen anytime soon, as the whole rest of the truck would need to be made first...
