Update Speculation thread

1. A Targa top is amazing. But I expect it to be fully operable with moving parts and linkages. It's a current-era convertible Supercar after all.
2. It's the absolute first time we see Carbon Ceramics in BeamNG. Apart from the new Civetta, the Hirochi SBR4 TT S2 should also have Carbon Ceramics as should the Cherrier FCV Vivace S 410Q Arsenic and the ETK 856/K-Series ttSport/ttSport+ and any faster version that may appear with the remastering of the modern ETKs.
3. The engine seems to be Naturally Aspirated because I see no intercoolers in the engine area. Intercoolers must be quite close to the engine area for quicker heat transferring and therefore better performance (just like in the Bolide). The only parts that may be looking like intercoolers lie in front of the front wheels but I don't think they serve any engine cooling purposes right where they are.
4. Manuals are good but I'm not that much of a die-hard fanatic of them, so I definitely want to see a modern automatic transmission in this car. A DCT is the perfect choice for such a car due to its lightning-fast gearchanges and its Launch Control support. In fact, if you watch the steering wheel more closely, you'll see the left shift paddle. So the new Civetta is already certain to have an Automatic - I just hope it's a DCT unit and it's gonna have at least 8 gears. 7-Speed DCTs are already put into two vehicles in the game - the Hirochi SBR4 and the Cherrier FCVs - and a 6-Speed DCT (like the Hirochi Sunburst has) is out of the question because no modern car uses 6-Speed DCTs anymore.
5. It looks like the Bolide chassis recipe will be evolved with this car because we see subframes for the front and rear ends. I was the one who mentioned the central tub to be made of carbon fiber because the lower door structure seems tall enough, the door sill area is quite high and it also has the characteristic rounded shape of a typical carbon fiber tub.
6. There seem to be a couple of headers hidden behind the three exposed ones we see so, without excluding the possibility of the engine being a Flat-Plane V8, I'm pretty certain it is a V10 - and a Naturally Aspirated one too.
7. I'm going to assume you're talking about the absolute lowest (and outwards-pointing) part of the tub to be playing the role of the scuff plate. Is this the right spot?
8. Yes, the side intakes are going to be put behind the doors, the chassis members of that area clearly point this out.
9. Two-tone colour options will look stunning in this car, I believe! Well done for your eagle vision!

No problem about your English, you're perfectly understandable!

As for the name, I'm really hoping it's gonna be called the "Fulmine" because it's a great fit for such a car!

 

Well, Its clear (At least for me) that the Civetta is mostly done. Yes, I know its just the bare body but the parts are textured and usually with modeling cars people start with the shell, than the inside/mechanics.

 

I know all these Ferraris you showed are V8-powered but it would seem kinda dumb if I only mentioned Ferraris in my meme answer!

 

I assume I'm the only person here who thinks this is a mix between a 720s and an Audi R8.

 

i also agree, but i mean its a civetta its definitely gunna have some italian flair in there aswell

 

I guess, but it's just not clicking for me.

 

once the body panels get fitted on itll probably all fall into place

 

Hopefully.

 

Here is my prediction for the Civetta Supercar:

Name: Civetta Fulmine
Production Years: 2017-2023
Engines: 4.5 Litre Twin Turbo V8 mated to 2 electric motors (one on each axle) producing about 850 BHP or a 6/6.5 Litre Twin Turbo V12 producing 950-1000+ BHP
Body Styles: Targa/Convertible and a Coupe
Looks: A Mclaren 720s Spyder + Tesla Roadster + Acura NSX + LOTS of Pininfarina influence

 

*Added full VR & game wheel support with improved feedback/vibration for controllers/steering wheel.

Would be nice

 

VR isn't coming soon at all for BeamNG, might be one of the last steps before full release tho

 

It's been said a million times that hybrids are too hard to implement currently

 

anyone have any clue what diamondback posted in the dev media?

 

Just ESC and TRC stuff.

 

Speed

 

what are you on about

 

He's talking about this

ah ok, it wouldnt load for me so i was so confused

im not crazy i promise

 

sounds like a v8 to me, maybe v6?
