    I took a screenshot of a file i made, didnt use text. Kept resizing with the same aspect ratio until i lined it up with Diamondbacks screenshot. Just tested it with text and it doesnt line up. Maybe someone with more skill than me can match the conditions perfectly :)

    EDIT:

    Civetta fits barely.

    i doubt they'd call it the super2. they've moved on from the names being a generic description of what kind of vehicle it is. i mean hell, part of the bolide remaster was renaming it from super to bolide in the files

    The bolide internal name isn’t Super anymore, it’s bolide.

    I recommend using screenshots of filenames following the "spoiler_carname.lua" scheme as Windows spaces the font in its own way. However, that does fit perfectly:

    upload_2022-6-6_19-0-27.png

    But I doubt that's the actual internal name, unless they either haven't named it yet or they knew we would try to figure it out this way - or if they thought they were clever calling it the Civetta the Civetta.

    So far I've also had these work:
    spoiler_spoiler.lua
    spoiler_noway.lua
    spoiler_testcar.lua
    spoiler_covet6.lua
    spoiler_i1pizza.lua
    So it's entirely possible that there is no information to be had here, and even if there is, it's undecidable. Sorry :(

    If the new car is just called “civetta” it definitely would work because the Civetta brand is based off of Ferrari. So at best it could be Beam’s rendition of the Ferrari LaFerrari since it’s the only car name that is the same name as the brand (which both Civetta and Ferrari could have the same origin) AND the LaFerrari looks extremely close to the stuff that was teased.

    I thought it was lame when Ferrari did it, so... I mean, legally, anyone can call their car the Chevy LaChevy, the Toyota LaToyota, the Daewoo LaDaewoo, hell, even Renault jumped on the bandwagon with Le Car, but come on!

    I counted, that's 1 pixel off ;) I think it might actually be the Civetta the Civetta, in which case I am going to drive it off a cliff at 200 mph.

    2000th post, also is anyone going to question why the modified dates for both files are in 2020? Also also, I retract what I said about the Civetta not being in 0.25 - why would Diamondback tease it, and not even on a Tuesday, if it weren't coming up next?

    I mean, does this even qualify as an actual teaser? I don't wanna spark another "WhErE tEaSeRe??!?!?" wave but I reckon we could still get a proper teaser tomorrow

    "Civetta Civetta" sounds more like a certain species of tortoise we Greeks have in our seas, and it isn't much of a good representative of a Supercar brand since tortoises aren't exactly quick/fast plus the new Civetta isn't amphibious (not without any mods, at least). :p

    Of course, I could be wrong since "Civetta" is Italian for "Owl", so...

    LeBig! Or TheGran! :p

    TheTall instead of TheBig would be better.. they not called it LeGros.

    Ontopic now, for the name of the car, I thinks that the Fulmine's name was kept for a future new 60s 70s Civetta,
    and there is a totally new name for this one. (or these two, maybe)
    However, it will be definitely an Italian name, but which one? i dont know..

    Cometa, Corsa, Temporale or even Velocita/Veloce are my bet for his name, but this is based on personal feeling only. (with a huge foreboding for Veloce)
    (space/atmospheric themed name, like the fulmine=lighting and bolide=meteorite, are the most likely option in my opinion)

    Well, it looks like they're more interested in stoking the flames than pouring water on them... alright, I'll play along ;) 0.25 this week, I'm calling it

    I rarely hold on to the hype train, but I'm calling it too. This Friday- don't know why, but I'm sure of it.
