Update Speculation thread

Both at the same time? Too much risk of brand dilution.

 

Nevermind lol

 

I think you mean in your previous post that Hirochi made old model (60's-70's) and it was equipped with rotary engine

 

Yeah that's what i meant, Hirochi seems to be the most sport-focused brand

 

heroki maxad csomos confromed?1/1/11/1/ /s

 

Yes foken Hirochi needs rotary (no hate )

 

Jokes aside it would be pretty cool to see a rotary luxury sedan, i don't think it'll ever happen though

 

Wait, does some foken luxury cars have rotary?

 

anything can have a rotary

 

if you consider a mazda cosmo a luxury car then yes

 

Yep, the Mazda Eunos Cosmo had a 3-rotor engine

 

Damn I didn't knew it had a rotary but ok.

Covet will lost his gf after he will see rotary boi

 

yeah according to wikipedia it had some I4's but also had a 13B rotary and 12A/12A turbo rotary engines

 

Covet! You're in danger!

 

I mean historically there has been no company to ever make/offer both Boxers and Wankels. I think a new Japanese brand would be the best for the Wankels to make it the 'Rotary' brand. Hirochi already has Boxers and the single reason it's still offering Inline engines is because the person who wants it to be the Boxer brand wasn't part of BeamNG at the time. End of story. ;-P

 

I don't think we should see a third Japanese brand unless it's an Ibishu luxury marque or one which focuses on things other than passenger cars. Ibishu covers the big three (Honda/Toyota/Nissan) and Hirochi covers the smaller ones (Subaru/Mazda/Mitsubishu/Suzuki?). Even most Japanese trucks could probably fit under one of them reasonably well. Adding a third passenger car brand would just spread things rather thin, especially when neither Hirochi or Ibishu are as developed as Gavril/Burnside (at this rate Bruckell as well pretty soon)

 

i agree but if we do get a new japanese car it's gotta be a hirochi, because ibishu has, what 8 cars?

 

True this one. It could be a luxury subsidiary of one of the two Japanese brands (probably Ibishu is the best candidate for this because none of its models are luxury cars and because Hirochi has the SBR4, which is both luxurious and expensive) or some small, weird and unheard nameplate (like Eunos, Efini, Xedos and Amati were).
As for Japanese trucks, we've talked about this in the past and we concluded that both Ibishu and Hirochi could very well make small Pick-Up Trucks (talking about the size of the Toyota Hilux), with Ibishu being the traditional one (having Inline-4s and V6s) and Hirochi being the exciting one (with Flat-4s/-6s, Boxer Diesels and some hardcore off-road variants, with the fitting equipment). Not only that but there could also exist some SUV models based on the Pick-Ups' ladder frames and using the same Inline/V/Flat powertrains, just like what the Roamer is to the D-Series.

If it's an ETK, then the existing Turbocharged Inline-6s (both gas and diesel) are good for base engines. Also, the 8-Speed Torque Converter Automatic Gearboxes are well suited to the ETK engines so there's no point in changing them for lesser 7-Speed units.
Modern European V8s and V12s are truly missing from BeamNG and AWD would be a good fit for them.
AWS is also missing from modern BeamNG cars, so it's also a good candidate for an F-Segment Luxury Sedan, especially for the versions with the Long bodies for extra rear legroom.

 

So? Honestly, i understand why you'd want in-game brands to reflect IRL brands, but they simply don't need to. Ibishu can be the "normal" brand mass-producing a variety of cars while Hirochi can be the sporty brand making fewer models with exotic engines

 

Considering how rare both boxers and wankels are, I think the sample size is just too small to make any conclusions about a fictional company using both. Besides, being that wankels have been out of fashion for awhile now there wouldn't be much, if any, overlap in production years. Maybe Hirochi use to like rotarys but now uses boxers...
