    I agree, but I just feel like having the 80s sports car of the game having an intake like that instead of an integrated one on the side that would make the car look more elegant and pleasant to look at seems odd. It's not what I would have done personally, which I know is just a minor stylistic choice that is just my own opinion. I know there was a reason, and a vote by a group of people within the company to approve the design, but it's just my opinion.
    It's not something that important in the end. I'm not loosing sleep, tossing and turning struggling to wrap my head around the decisions of people I've never met. Everyone has an opinion of what would look good, and this is just mine.

    95% of the engine cooling came from its radiators (water-cooled engine) witch are located in the front of the car, the lateral air ducts are meant give some fresh air to the engine bay itself

    Well my argument doesn't really have ground to stand on anymore. Funny how I thought I know enough about cars to have an opinion that's better than the people who study cars as their job to make a realistic simulation game about cars.

    On the topic of new versions, can the Polizia variant please be made to be period accurate? It's always driven me crazy how that version is based on relatively modern Polizia designs as opposed to what you'd see in the 80s.

    The lighting setup should ideally be swapped to a blue beacon light instead of all the LEDs, and the livery should look more like this:
