Update Speculation thread

You filthy bucker...

 

A beefier V6 for the Pessima makes a lot of sense to me, I know Toyota has a line of 3L-3.5L V6s (the MZ and GR) they use in the Siennas and top trims of some sedans and SUVs, and they make a solid 250-300 horsepower.

Considering we're getting that race-spec'd variant, I'm sure there will be an appropriately angry powerplant to go with it.

 

Yeah right, as i said it would make sense to age up the 2.7 a bit and throw it in the 1st gen and give the 2nd gen a worked up 3.0 V6 to match with the larger specs of the car and keep up with the times

 

Interestingly in BTCC/Super Touring the rules (which the racing config seems to based off especially a mix of the Primera and Accord) limit engines to 2.0L, so that likely means we will get a true racing version of the I4, rather than the V6

 

I wouldn't mind seeing a racing version of the V6, i just hope they make it a high revving N/A engine instead of lazily slapping a turbo on it

 

We dont know if they are going according to the btcc rules, so a better v6 isnt out of the question. However a more powerful 2l would be good to see.

 

The 3.0/3.5l V6s could also power an Ibishu Minivan, if it ever comes!
And the Bruckell 3.3/3.8 V6s and the 4.4 V8 could power a duo of Bruckell/Soliad Minivans!

A turbo V6 (especially a single-turbo V6) would be nice since it's not represented in BeamNG yet! But yeah, since we're talking about a race car, a high-revving NA V6 would be better, since it isn't yet represented in BeamNG either!

 

It very likely will be an i4, although there were V6 BTCC cars (notably the Mondeo)

 

High revving N/A engines in general aren't well represented in game, as far as I know the only ones are the Bolide V8 and the old Pigeon 600cc bike engine (which was removed)

 

Aight, so here’s all of this threads requests for the pessima as far as I remember:

• High revving NA v6
• Diesel engines
• Race parts in general
• Lots of new configs
• Wagon body
• Lift back body

There’s probably more, but even this is a lot.

 

Yep, these are the only two (or four, if we think that the Bolide actually has three V8s and not one) engines that come to my mind as well.
There's also the FCV 2.5 Inline-5 which can go up to 8000rpm with no problem and yet there's no ECU (neither stock nor tuned) for exploiting this ability!

 

Also i think more cars should have stance configs, like the 200bx and sunburst are perfect and in my opinion as much if not more adapted to that role than the pessima.

 

yucky

 

It'S SoMeThInG ThAt IsN'T VeRy rEpReSeNtAtEd iN-GaMe lol
I mean, it's an actual thing, and it's kinda fun driving stanced cars around.

 

I once had the opportunity to drive a stance car on Michigan roads. I literally got bruises all over my lower body. 10/10 totally recommend would do it again.

 

what we're missing is a small japanese SUV
sorta like the first gen acura mdx or first gen RAV4

 

A LWB Hopper would be sweet and maybe a pickup truck version.

 

Soliad would just be damn fitting to make an 1st gen Chrysler Grand Voyager-esque vehicle with said engines.
I couldn´t think of a more fitting brand

Couldn´t agree more. yeah the Roamer is a nice full size but its american. The hopper is good to but the game lacks a real japanese small to midsize SUV or Pickup Truck.

 

My thinking is on a very simple road: basing Minivans over existing Sedan platforms and mechanicals. The said Ibishu Minivan could be based on the Pessima platform and parts (either the '88 or the '96 ones) and the said Bruckell/Soliad Minivans could be based on the LeGran ones. And the engines (the V6 and V8 ones at least) are good enough for the power chores.
The Hopper could have a 4-door version with a longer length/wheelbase and it could also have the same Inline-4/Inline-6 Diesels as the said Ibishu Midsize SUV/Pickup we imagined!

As for the Pessimas, I just did a comparison between the engine compartments of the two generations of the car. It's very interesting to see the engine compartment of the '88 Pessima having enough space, both lengthwise and transversely, for fitting the 2.7 V6. Dunno if the space itself can actually fit the V6 (it may be a bit tighter lengthwise than it is sideways but it also may be not) but it at least looks promising enough! It's also interesting to see the engine compartment of the '96 Pessima being (or appearing) narrower than that of the '88 Pessima. The 2.7 V6 fills the width of its compartment quite well, even if it has the same width (or, rather, length, since the width is measured as length in a longitudinal position) as the 2.0 Inline-4 of the '88 Pessima GTz shown next to it!
