Update Speculation thread

Where did you find this picture?

 

DELETED

 

On a 3-month old Reddit post about BeamNG wheels. It's in the 4th photo.

To be fair, there's nothing to say that A. Group B even exists in BeamNG, and B. that, if it did, it existed for the same years as in real life.

 

i mean, the rally bolide is called the group 4 in the trailer, which is a real rally class under group B, so it would make sense.

 

Well, as I did for the bastion, I figured I'd give my predictions for the new variants of the covet. current ones are still there, just through the usual updates.
facelift variants last from 1992 - 1995, LXi and ZXi get an AWD option unless otherwise specified. new variant called the HX, like the pessima HX, available for everything unless otherwise specified

• 5-door hatch - all factory variants aside from GTz and GTR, no special editions, auto and manual, facelift, no awd
• 4 door sedan - same as previous
• Covet SportCoupe - like a CRX - Available as a HX, LXi, ZXi, GTz, and GTR, manual only, special edition only for the GTR, facelift
• Covet SportCross - like a CRV - 5 door hatch with a lift, standard awd and a minor more rugged redesign, available as everything aside from the GTz, GTR and HX, only special edition is the Baja special with locking differentials, a major lift and a bunch of other offroad goodies. aftermarket off roader as well.
• Covet SportMover - Extended 5-door hatch with 7 seats. all factory variants, awd standard on ZXi and GTz as well as a street tuned and drift variant
• Covet GTR - GTz, but with a bit more power and AWD
• Covet GTR MEHS - Mid-Engine Homologation Special. A Covet in name only, featuring a heavily modified chassis, mid mounted single turbo inline six that made too much power (a detuned version went on to power some of ibishus legendary tuner cars.) AWD, and all the typical Group B goodies, aside from the absurd aero and stripped down interior. Never marketed or advertised, you could only get one if ibishu came to you. 400 made
• Covet GTRX - full on group b car. it's very mad at you for living and doesn't want you to, unless you can tame it, that is. once that is done, it is capable of ridiculous amounts of speed and control.
• Rally - the current rally variant we have will become a budget, home built rally car.

Any suggestions, complaints, or anything else to say about this? let me know.

 

It could simply become a Group A car, which would be very similar to what we have now.
It could also get a Group A touring car variant, like the EF Civic.

 

Here is a OLD covet sedan MOD. while it no longer works ( i dont think it does ) and the J-beam wasnt ideal. It Gave me a taste of what a Covet sedan will look like.

And am in love. Those small sedans where common place here in Australia in the day. As well as our Big Ford/Holdens.

( The Photos are not mine )

Here is what is on my wish list.
1 AWD. I mean how cool will it be to Covert a Covet sedan to AWD or even RWD
2 Sedan as you can tell.


Lots of improvements Over all and new goodies.


As for the new super car. if update is Coming late march. ( Or around there ) i dont see the new super car comeing. I think maybe 2 remasters. Then next update after that will be the new car and one remaster.


But i cant wait to have a DX Covet. SEDAN carby. Old paint. Just like the Shitboxes you saw Young teens in As There first car. When i was a kid. Hell my first car in 2014 Was a 2000 Ford laser. Then i had ford falcons. Now i have a W211 And W203 lol. .

 

The devs: *picture of fender*
Us: OH MY GOSH IT'S A COVET FENDER FOR GROUP B TO GO WITH A MASSIVE COVET REMASTER INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

1. 2-DOOR COUPE
2. 3-DOOR HATCH
3. 4-DOOR SEDAN
4. 5-DOOR HATCH/SHUTTLE
5. 5-DOOR WAGON/VISTA
6. GROUP B (WITH AWD)
7. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The devs: (what have we done?) "uhhh, guys, we're gonna be releasing this update a little late..."

 

Well, at least we have a little bit of evidence a covet remaster is coming. Besides, this is ACTUAL SPECULATION, better that than just "uPdAtE tOmOrRoW."

 

My edits

The covet is split up into two facelifts. The pre facelift resembles the 1983-1987 civic, with extra parts for sealed vs unsealed headlights, and the facelift resembles the 1987-1991 civic.

No 5 door hatch, as the job of the 5 door hatch is taken up by a new wagon variant, ala the Honda Shuttle: (you've named it the SportMover)

The 4wd system could be either a manual transfer case, meaning part time 4wd, or a torsion differential making it an active 4wd system. (the civic shuttle had both; part time from 1983-1987, and real time from 1987+. Ideally this would be a part of a facelift.)

Trim levels:

• DX - Base with carbureted engine, 5 speed manual or 4 speed auto.
• DXi - Base with fuel injected engine, 5 speed manual or 4 speed auto.
• LXi - Mid trim with fuel injected engine, 5 speed manual or 4 speed auto.
• DXi4 - Base trim with fuel injected engine and 4wd, 5 speed manual or 4 speed auto.
• LXi4 - Mid trim with fuel injected engine and 4wd, 5 speed manual or 4 speed auto.
• RXi4 - Top trim with fuel injected engine from the ZXi, 4wd, 6 speed manual with an ultra low first gear.

4 Door Sedan & 3 Door Hatchback:

The two are basically identical, save for their bodywork. All the factory variants carry over to the sedan from the hatchback, except for the GTz, which is hatchback only.

Trim levels:

• Hatchback and Sedan are identical in trim level, save for the GTz trim level, which is exclusive to the Hatchback.
• New HX trim level, taken from the gen 1 pessima, with a more efficient engine, low rolling resistance tires, aerodynamic body parts, and taller geared manual transmission, or standard automatic.

3 Door Extended Hatchback: (Civic Aerodeck Equivalent)

An extended 3 door hatchback featuring pop up headlights, a sloping hood, and perhaps even the weird gullwing rear hatch seen on the aerodeck. Based on the Sedan / Hatchback LUX below.

Trim levels:

• Identical to the 3 Door Hatchback, with the exclusion of the GTz and HX.

3 Door Sports Hatchback: (Civic CRX Equivalent)

A 3 door hatchback with a sloping roofline. Mechanically identical to the 3 door hatchback, but with a longer, sloped rear hatch, like on the civic CRX.

Trim levels:

• Identical to the 3 Door Hatchback, including GTz and HX trim levels.
• Potential for a more sporty trim level specific to the Sports Hatch, with a higher revving GTz engine?

3 Door MEHS Hatchback: (Renault 5 Turbo Equivalent - The new rally homologation special you've named the MEHS. I absolutely love the name!)

A 3 Door Hatchback with the engine mounted at the back, perhaps even a pessima v6 swap is possible, ala the accord swap done to the real life rwd civic that was home built. Serves as a Renault 5 Turbo equivalent, but weirder.

Trim levels:

• ZXi.
• GTz.
• Homologation Special of some kind
• Full Group-B rallycross build.

4 Door Sedan LUX & 3 Door Coupe LUX: (Honda Accord Equivalent)

An equivalent to the Honda Accord, being a gussied-up Covet with a sloped front end, popup headlights, new taillights, an upgraded interior, and bespoke options.

Trim levels:

• EXi - Base trim with a High Output 1.5 DXi engine. 5 Speed manual or 4 Speed automatic transmission.
• LXi - Mid trim with a High Output 1.8L engine. 5 Speed manual or 4 Speed automatic transmission.
• LXi-S - Mid trim with a High Output 1.8L engine and four-wheel steering. 5 Speed manual or 4 Speed automatic transmission.
  
• HX - Mid trim with a High Output variant of the HX engine found in the covet. 5 Speed manual or 4 Speed automatic transmission.
• ZXi - Top trim with a mildly detuned 2.0L engine from the GTz, digital gauges, and four-wheel steering. 5 Speed manual or 4 Speed automatic transmission.

 

Yeah, it could get a JTCC variant with a highly-tuned 1.5 DOHC engine revving @9500rpm with a Stage-3 Performance Long Block and a straight-through exhaust coming under the passenger door!

 

This makes way more sense and is way more realistic, thanks!

 

...so a pessima?

 

pessima but smoller

 

imagine covet sedan

 

We're probably getting a pre-facelift Covet- it's relatively light work and would easily check the box of "pre-1987 subcompact". Some new wheels are also possible, but I'm guessing we'd only get one or two. We might get something akin to the Honda "phone dial" wheels.
an HX config with special gearing and such is likely too.
I think we'll also get a 5-door wagon version, which will be the closest thing to a minivan we've gotten so far. It also opens the door for more "offroad"-focused versions with plastic cladding and mudflaps- a visual cue that would be useful in career mode to differentiate it from standard models.
I don't think a sedan, glassback coupe, or conventional 5-door hatch are coming. They might offer a different bodystyle, sure, but that's about it.
That's why we didn't get a 5-door '96 Pessima, but we got the LeGran wagon. The LeGran wagon allowed for the 4wd LeGran, a good jumping-off point in career mode for early-game rally builds. A 5-door Pessima (presumably EUDM) wouldn't really allow for anything beyond a diesel engine, which would be useless in career mode so it didn't happen.
The devs are beginning to prioritize career mode viability over vehicle roster gaps. Career mode is closer than it's ever been...

 

damn
that's some good speculation

 

Accords are not covet sized lol

 

Isnt the pessima a corolla?
