Update Speculation thread

Why would anyone drive anything other than the Pigeon?

 

The Dev Team also added the 1.8 SOHC of the Pessimas in the Covet, but it doesn't make for any config in the latter right now. It could make for some in the future though, especially on the other bodystyles, assuming there will be any of course (1.8/1.8 HX Sedan, 1.8 'Shuttle', 1.8 'Vista').

Aw, the 4Corolla Wagon with the Italian-inspired offset touches!! Hadn't thought about that!!

Maybe for smashing the Pigeon? The D-Series with the Front Push Bumper is very good at this!

 

It's not even that hard to drive

 

It's probably the most difficult to drive at the edge.

 

Maybe I'm just good but I've never felt the Bolide is much of a challenge, you just have to realize you have a large, laggy and powerful V8 behind you ready to screw you over. The Group 5 version has over 1000HP, on an 80s car with simple aero.

 

If you know how to drive well then the bolide isn’t difficult to control. You just have to get used to it and you need to go light. Cars like the 800 series let you floor it with no consequences, you can’t do the same with the bolide.

 

Not too much but it still drives like an 80s sports car, and a more modern should have more refined aero/balance and as such should be more stable.

 

Not really. The Group 5 turbocharged variant is difficult but all the others (and especially the Naturally Aspirated 350 and 390 GT variants) are fine. They understeer just as much as to not scare the uninitiated.

 

Both valid arguments for the Pessima (apart from the unique engine, i don't think they'll drop a V10 in a FWD sedan)

 

I haven't really either, it's my favorite drift car . But I can see how inexperienced drivers can struggle with front brakes that lock easily, no ABS, and laggy turbos.

 

One important thing to note if you use a wheel or even a gamepad of some sort is that with a keyboard, it's hard not to floor it/yank the wheel, and while every other car with anywhere near that much power has AWD and/or TC/ABS, the Bolide... doesn't.

 

Sunburst revamp based on what Leeloo is teasing. I'm certain of it lol

 

We've already been over it matching up perfectly with the covet lol, you're a tad late.
unless I'm missing something...

 

That's how keyboards work, the way they're designed for every day always makes driving sims/games a case of 'all or nothing'.
Also, TC wasn't even a thing back in the 80s and ditto the AWD Supercars. On-road AWD was difficult back then and even those who did it, used it for more mundane purposes (with the exceptions of Audi, Ford and Lancia).
ABS on the other hand could be used and premiered in the Bolide, as some expensive cars already had it back then, starting from the early 80s and the Mercedes S-Class of the day. But the Bolide is a vehicle with a racing palmares (and a brutal one, due to the motorsports era it is part of), so it's ok to not have ABS.

 

Didn't the Covet already have a revamp?
I thought it did

 

Sort of, yes. But not a full remaster.

 

*Sad Sunburst noises*

 

My guess is that they would double down on the customization aspect and improve it, since customization is one of the best aspects of this game and add even more (street tuned superturbo config maybe? haha)

 

It only had some minor tweaks of the proportions of its 3-door body in 2019 plus the slight content expansion in December 2020 (with the Pessima 1.8 SOHC/2.0 DOHC engines, the 2.0 GTz/2.0 GTz Special Edition models and the Drag variant added plus some new wheels). But it hasn't had a full remastering up until now.

They won't. They didn't do it to the D-Series after all.
