Update Speculation thread

that's kind of like saying "just make a d-series out of a grand marshal", the shape and construction of the whole thing is completely different.
that being said, if you went back to the late 1930s, you could do that...

 

I mean, up until 2016, Ford was pushing out the Territory, which was based on the chassis of the pre-facelift Falcon...

 

All the recent updates have been focused on new cars, and the new truck appears to be new from what we've seen (doesn't make sense that they'd do another D-Series remaster, but who knows), I don't think we're getting any more old cars (other than remasters) for a long time, unfortunately.

 

A car based crossover is pretty standard, basically all crossovers are. A full sized sedan based medium duty truck? There isn't much that would carry over. Maybe the Gavril big block with a stroker kit but that's about it.

 

Only thing i can think of in which a car is placed onto a full truck chassis is for an armoured car/stretch limo, the majority of the Lincoln Continental stretch limos sit on XL truck frames with a migrated body from a Lincoln stretched to fit

 

so be it, 1930s here we come

 

Teaser tomorrow? Thoughts?

 

I wanna see the K-Series again, or maybe we'll see something entirely new once again. I don't particularly mind which.

 

Yeah, I forgot about the ETK. I hope it or my previous post is teased with an ETK K-Series, I-Series & 800-Series on the new extended flatbed I just made up lol

 

I want to see some mention of tire thermals tbh but no idea how they'd showcase it in a trailer

 

Yeah, a screenshot of someone hotlapping the hypothetical Nurburgring-alike track on the ETK Driver Experience Center in a remastered K-Series with a tire thermals UI app

 

Nah, teasers only really work with bigger content, like cars and maps, because there's a lot to play with and explore, simpler features can't really be teased without straight up saying "XYZ is coming in the update"

 

I know, that’s why I included k-series remaster and hypothetical track on hypothetical ETK map remaster

 

yeah that's what I thought too, I want K-Series content then

 

I can't wait for the teaser tomorrow, what we'll see this time?

 

Nowhere has it been said it will happen, its just a guess.

 

More rocks!!

 

inb4 0.27 lands and it's just rocks, nothing else

 

I know that this may sound like a bit of a stretch, but if new van is ETK, what are chances of I series getting a diesel engine? German automakers usually use same diesel engines in their smaller commercial vehicles and passenger cars.

 

Yeah, let’s see. The thing is etk van seems to be mostly inspired by volvo c303/304/306 which was exclusively powered by 3.0 liter na petrol engine from big-size volvo sedans. That’s probably due to the fact that volvo is a swedish manufacturer. As you know diesel engines don’t work that well in colder climate. On the other hand etk is supposed to be a german brand which would strongly imply the use of a diesel engine in this kind of vehicle.
That would also nicely tie up with the discovery of diesel badges for i series.
Overall I bet on one diesel and one petrol engine in stock specifications.
