Update Speculation thread

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.

 

I still wonder why the creator's branch isn't updated yet, might suggest an update on January.

 

new teaser dropped its beautiful https://twitter.com/beamng/status/1595074931645112320

toyota hilux inspired design?
idk gives me japanese vibe

 

Looks like Small Island USA to me.

 

Rocks !

 

yeah that's a 100% custom chassis with most likely fiberglass panels on top to make it look like a production truck when it really isn't

What I'm wondering is are we going to get a modern truck on the side with the same design?

 

Few things I noticed- Complete tube frame, 2 spare tires, different suspension geometry specifically in the front (coil-overs look to be far more angled), I couldn't see many engine components but it looks like either a radiator or oil cooler angled backwards in the front and I can't tell for sure but it looks like there is a radiator behind the seats. Finally, it looks like the last teaser with the buggy was a stripped version of this.

 

has the same vibe but you cant see the ocean,and there are more than one hill (small iland has a central one not 2)

if its made to look like a modern truck there is probably a modern truck that they based it on

some more stuff from watching the video 03091730 times

 

I bet this is a new modular offroad tubular chassis that regroups this trophy truck, the buggy seen on the side of the gas station and the picobuggy

 

eS____
is eShock. A suspension company iirc

 

The truck is looking fire and the map even more so, huge open area and mountains which look accessible. I wonder where the gas station is xD. I cannot imagine that there will be a street legal truck tho, everything about this looks purpose built for off-road…

 

thanks
i knew it but didnt know the name

 

LeeLoo the little engine that could (and still can) bring good news about future updates

 

I don't see why so many people are expecting a production truck to pair with this. We aren't talking about a homoligation special here, it's a tube frame with generic fiber glass panels on it.

I have a suspicion this and the T-Rex buggy are part of a modular thing since the team could slap the same bits onto different tube frames to make rock bouncers, trophy trucks, crawlers, truggies, etc...

I suspect the Piccobuggy is not part of it though. Being a smaller vehicle it won't share as many parts and they might use the front and rear of it as sub frames on the Picco's unibody, which would force it to be treated as a Piccolina derivative

 

Mostly because we've never ever had a special vehicle without a production counterpart alongside.

I mean, I'd be fine either way, I just think having a modern pickup truck along with this tube frame beast would be pretty cool. It's fine if there isn't one though
