Update Speculation thread

I reckon the Pessima will have its 1.8 SOHC and 2.0 DOHC 4-cylinder engines getting updates (both in parts and in textures) to keep up with the times.
About the 2.7 V6, I also reckon it will have its textures and parts updated but I don't see it staying in the 'new' Pessima. Instead, I reckon it's going to the 'old' Pessima and a larger V6 (possibly a 3.0) will be taking its place in the 'new' one, since it's larger and heavier than the 'old' one.
The Van won't have its engines changed because they already offer a full list of options. I really want an armored version for SWAT/Private Security/Group 4 purposes though and I also think an armored version would be amazing for the T-Series as well (just remember the huge square armored trucks in GTA IV, when you get the full 6 stars, that's the vehicle I'm talking about )!

About premiere, nothing is certain but ok, it ain't gonna be a secret for long!

 

as far as engine options go, I'm kind of expecting there to be some sort of V10 for the van, since it's more variety, and both ford and chrysler had V10 engines in that era.
I could also imagine a 4.2-ish V6 and some kind of older IDI I6 Diesel (with N/A or turbo) happening, though since they don't entirely fit the application of the van, i'm not going to hold my breath.

as for pessima engines, I wouldn't be surprised if they take this opportunity to overhaul the models of all the 90s Ibishu engines, (since they already started with the pigeon's 1.3, and the extra parts on the 200bx/covet a while back)
but as far as actual new engine variants, they might give it something like a 3.5 V6, as both the maxima and diamante/verada got 3.5L V6s around that era, and as others have suggested, maybe some euro-spec diesels.

 

I wonder if the van would get a V6 ..

 

I think the 4.1 Inline-6 is already good enough as a base engine for the Gavrils. Besides, how much more powerful can a V6 be with the same parts (Late Intake and Late ECU) and at the same displacement before entering the fields of the 4.5 V8?

 

not so much for performance, but more just as a successor to the likely already old 4.1 I6, for things like the facelift roamer and van.

 

And the facelift D-Series too but I believe it's not needed.

 

I believe that, if they ever release a Gavril V6 engine, it will have a displacement around 4.1 liter and will develop around 175-180 hp. Here in Brazil, Chevy used to offer a 4.3 V6 in the top trims of the Blazer and the S10. It had around 180-190 hp, if I remember correctly.

 

We all know the new car is a aussie Ford/Holden mix with a 6MT and 7AT transmission choice, packing a straight 4l I6 turbo and a v8 option AND also comes with a ute option. I mean come on joe, its obvious joe

 

Where do you have that from?

 

Im ironic as we get different takes on that car daily. European this, american that and the i realized i hadnt yet heard one about it being from Australia, which id enjoy as much as any. Imagine a bunch those battling it out at a the track, in all their roaring glory.

 

as a serious take, i'd doubt it.
Australian Fullsizes are realistically pretty bland in proportioning (they're basically just a scaled up mondeo which happens to be RWD because that's what most buyers want,
where the exaggerated arches on this seem to indicate that it's either upmarket, such as a Maserati ghibli, or that it's been designed to emphasise that it has been consciously kept RWD, when most in its market are FWD, for some perceived sportiness/premium value, like a dodge charger, genesis G80, lexus GS, etc.

 

why 200bx?

 

Hopper and 200BX are out of the question because we're talking about a large V6, possibly larger than 4 liters. The Hopper is out because it would be chronologically unrealistic to have a V6 while its most obvious material of inspiration had an Inline-6 at that time period.
The 200BX is also out because there's no point in a small sports car to mount a large, low-revving V6 engine like this (only a V8, haha )!
But, mainly, both these cars are out simply because they're Ibishus. Ibishu isn't famous for making large, low-revving V6s!
I mean, Ibishu could make such an engine but it would make much more sense to mount it in a large car (say a Midsize SUV/Pick-Up) than in a small one (say a 200BX kinda car).

 

Speaking of the 200bx, what do you people have on your wishlist for its eventual remaster? I kind of want a targa top version, a JZ or RB inspired I6, a headlight controller (like some aftermarket miatas have, that allows winks and sleepy eyes) and a BRAP BRAP ROTARY!

 

I think it's got enough engines, more aftermarket parts for them or the rest would be cool. Also an headlight controller would be very cool.

 

I think an Inline-6 engine would be amazing!
As for a rotary, no. A 2-seater sports car would be better for this than a cheap basic 4-seater car like the 200BX.

"Enough engines" while the only option is the 2.0 DOHC Inline-4. Yeah, right!
I mean, it could have more engine choices!

 

Fair enough, i mean they said they were gonna V8 swap it at one point, and a bigger version of this 4-cylinder could be nice, like a 2.2-2.5.

 

Ok, fair enough. Yeah, I know about the V8 swap but we have no idea if it's gonna be for real.
Anyway, if they are gonna put a 2.5, better be an Inline-6, in my opinion! We already have many Inline-4s across BeamNG cars, there's no need for one more (with that said, a 2.0 liter Inline-4 would make sense as a base engine for the I-Series, since we already have the "2000" trunk badge in the Parts Selector)!
And the 2.2 doesn't make sense since there's the 2.0. If anything, a certain distance between the engine displacements must be kept.
