Update Speculation thread

i mean judging from the concept art, the bodystyle and layout, id say this is quite a bit more than a simple sports car

 

Upscaled

 

new civetta good

so we have new car and remaster

 

The new Civetta is a V8* MR 2-seater, the SBR is a flat-4 RR/R4 4-seater, they're not that similar
*probably

 

No, it's still a sports car, on the edge of the category but still a sports car. I always thought this car had the look of the c8 Corvette - which also isn't a super car, something in-between just like the civetta.

 

Taking my revenge on this one!

 

It's SBR4-sized, probably has similar power output to the SBR4's top configs and maybe handles a bit better, so again it would make more sense as a paid DLC add-on if it really is going to fit in the same niche

 

Maybe it's the perspective, or maybe i'm an idiot, but to me, it doesn't look like a V10 would fit in the car

 

I'd say this kinda looks like the sbr tbh. Doubt it tho

 

I am frankly honored, as an American, that you consider the Corvette a supercar

On topic: It looks more Alfa 4C (that somehow got a V8) than Ferrari anything to me, and nobody calls the 4C a supercar. I'm not upset, but I will be if they try to pass this off as filling the modern supercar role in BeamNG

 

Are you ever satisfied with what the devs are doing? You complain when you think it'll be faster than the SBR, you complain when you think it'll be the same performance class as the SBR... One is a high end new Italian MR V-block and the other is a 10 year old Japanese volume RR/R4 F-block, they aren't even really stepping on the other's toes and definitely have room to have their own personalities.

Yeah the SBR definitely needs some TLC, but remastering an old vehicle and getting a new one are not mutually exclusive options.

 

I'm not a badge snob!
The Corvette has always been a sports car in the "C" versions, with Supercar power and manners for the versions higher than the "Cs" (Z51, GrandSport, Z06, ZR1). But the C8 is a real upgrade to the dynamics of the Corvette so now we can say it really is a Supercar right from the base version, when equipped with the Z51 pack of course (500hp, 0-60 in less than 3 seconds, that time is Ferrari F8 Tributo territory)!
And I just realized that I forgot to put the C8 in the meme!

 

For me, the front clearly looks like a McLaren.
And I'd say the rear looks like a sort of Bugatti or something.

Also, don't forget that perspective could make this car look shorter that it is.
We are still yet waiting to see the width of the car too, tho.

The Bugatti Veyron is a supercar and it's not that long of a car.

 

Wait, it just occurred to me, does anyone know the dimensions of the grid or those concrete blocks it's on? If the blocks are 1x1x1 meters, then it's easily longer than 4.5 meters, putting it squarely in Lambo territory. I could be totally wrong

Still disappointed it "only" has a V8, but... I mean, it's not really a matter of performance, more of prestige. A V8 is lighter, more reliable and can make just as much power as a V12 of similar size, plus considering Civetta's pedigree, this one probably has some kind of forced induction anyway... I just don't have enough information!

 

It's still an absolute unit in terms of width
--- Post updated ---

Don't worry, somebody will probably mod all the engines you could possibly think of into it

 

In my uneducated opinion, it will be a V8 at least but there looks to be enough room for a V10 as well, however, it would need to be 5 - 5.5L in size, maybe 6L at most to still be more of a "revvy" engine rather than pure torque, but nothing close to something like the Viper with its' dumptruck-sized 8L+ V10

 

Is it only me or it have ceramic front brakes?

 

Well, I've been checking lengths of supercars, and sportscars and I'd say there's not really that much of a difference. For example, the Gallardo is still longer than the Agera.
And that's straight doesn't look as a Elise or something because we still have no bumpers, nor the rear or front. That could easily add 30cm or more to the car.
So I'd say it's a supercar in terms of length.

 

aight bois, here's what we got:

1 - No roof, probably a targa top version coming, just like the Bolide
2 - (probably) the first car with beefy ceramic disc brakes and big ass calipers. Not even the SBR4 TT S2 have something like this. Only cars with 500hp + have those things, so it's on expectation something in that range or more
3 - being a 2nd decade 21st century supercar, we can expect turbo engine options (or turbo engines only), which i have the impression to seen in the picture
4 - for the same reason as number 3, we can also expect only automatic transmission for this car, which we can see in the picture by the lack of gear lever (i hope to be wrong for this one)
5 - the nothingness-skeleton-look-like rear end reveals the lightness of the car. Someone here even mentioned to be a carbon fiber body
6 - this one came from my mind, but it's worth it to discuss: probably a flat plane v8 for this one, only based on the resemblance that the engine has with Ferrari ones. The fourth exhaust pipe that you're looking for may be just be behind that plate there. but this one could be the voices on my head speaking, idk. The engine layout for this car is having a strong discussion here now
7 - there's a door scuff plate which is barely noticeable, but it is there. A nice little detail touch since we can't open the doors without mods or destroying the car
8 - it may have the side vent coming from the door, based in the lack of door plate in the up part
9 - the black windshield frame reveal a two-tone color option

this is my speculation, that's all i could see. sorry for my bad English and feel free to add things to the list, disagree and everything
