To be honest, I'm surprised the Scintilla's V10 hasn't been swapped into anything - it's the only engine of its type in-game, and it makes a lot of power and can fit into quite a few engine bays in this game - particularly the ETKs.

Even if we don't get an official V10 for the K/800? remaster(s), it'd certainly be fun to get the Scintilla's V10 as an official aftermarket swap for one/both of those vehicles. However, I don't think that will happen, as so far, only V8s have been used as aftermarket swaps.

Speaking of the K-Series, I wonder how significant its design changes will be. While the '96 Pessima, LeGran, H-Series, D-Series, and Roamer received fairly minor design and proportion changes in their remasters, the 800-Series received major reworking in its proportions back in 0.16, and the Bolide V2 looks quite different (especially from the rear) compared to the Bolide V1. The widebody kit teaser shows that the front fascia doesn't seem to have received many changes, but I'm not quite sure about the rear end.

So far, the top-tier performance versions of the ETKs tend to get the TTSport or TTSport Evolution badging. Both the 800 and I-Series have TTSport versions, but while the K-Series' Kc6t(x) versions are TTSports in all but name, they don't receive the badge. That means that the TTSport K's will likely be V8-powered - but if the K's going to get the V8, what about the 800?

Whereas the K's official thread says that it'll be receiving "bigger engines soon", the 800's doesn't - it just says that it has 4- and 6-cylinder engines. But it does say that the 800 is "currently available as a wagon". This kinda fits in line with the LeGran/Wendover relationship - the LeGran got an extra bodystyle (wagon), while the Wendover got a new engine (the 4.4L V8). The D-Series, Roamer, H-Series, and Bolide also received new bodystyles in their remasters.

-D-Series got a long bed, the Charro/Kentarch, and upfits in its remasters
-Roamer got an LXT version
-H-Series got long-wheelbase, passenger, high-roof, and side-door versions
-Bolide received a targa
*Pigeon technically got a coupe version (as the Wigeon)
*Covet MR could also maybe be called a new bodystyle; it's certainly a very different car from the basic Covet

Perhaps a similar thing will happen with the K/800, where the K-Series will get the V8, but the 800 gets a new bodystyle (sedan? coupe? convertible? I know convertibles aren't much of a thing due to sound issues with the interior, but maybe those will be resolved with 0.27?).

Maybe that's what we're getting as our Tuesday teaser tomorrow - a sedan version of the 800 Series, maybe with a new feature or two shown off if it's a video.

If we get a sedan/coupe for the ETK 800 it will provide the perfect basis for an M3 like config with an NA V8, or just an I6 with bigger turbos. I don’t think just one vehicle will receive the bigger engine, the ETK 800 is a bigger car than the K-Series and would realistically have that option. Personally, I’m just excited for the (more than likely) remodeled engines overall because there are a few issues with the current models that dissapoint me.

That would certainly be a welcome surprise.

To you perhaps, but I still haven't managed to scrape together enough time to assemble my wishlist, so I have a funny feeling I'd be left out unless the dev team somehow managed to read my mind...

I’ve just realized, what if Leeloo meant physically large when she said “big” last Thursday. What kind of interesting things could that mean? Maybe a heavy duty F-450 type version of the potentially existing Bruckell truck (Wild speculation here, incredibly unlikely to happen lol)

I mean, we got 2 props of massive tires recently, there's a slight chance they could repurpose them to be used in some kind of lore-friendly BELAZ-style huge mining dump truck... But I don't believe they would show ANOTHER new vehicle at this point.
A new map could also be physically large, even if it was the size of Italy that would already be huge.

Forum remaster, with modern UI and automatic dark mode. Mark my words.

a unibody wierdo like a ridgeline/baja/maverick also doesn't seem that far fetched, especially if you presume it's a hirochi and buy into the class-1 SBR conspiracy theory.

A uni-body ute certainly would be a welcome addition, different enough to the D-Series and would open the possibility for a modern SUV on the same platform. Although I'm wildly moving more into vehicle suggestion territory rather than update speculation with this.

Today is Tuesday in Japan...
Mainly teasers and updates come after 11:00 Japan time

Waiting for the photo of the Autobello bello being towed out of a ditch with a rope by one of the new trucks, with a trail of erode behind the wheels. While the teased ATV-like vehicle is floating in amphibious form in the background.

So here is an idea i've just have thinking about the precedent teasers. We will get a fire truck, a desert-ish map so here is the fire element... maybe a rework of the fire is in WIP phase. Secondly, the fire truck and the little 6X6 or 8x8 have one big thing in common... WATER. As water and fire have some weird comportment in the game, it could be a possibility that they got a rework.

Now, my idea aside, just imagine a teaser today where we just see a fire being extinguished by water with physics reworked of course

I doubt there would be a fire rework but water physics might be possible.

JowoHD · Dec 6, 2022

im pretty sure that somewhat recently we had a dev say theyd been begging to add a firetruck for ages but it wasnt happening any time soon, partly because of the water. so i highly doubt either are coming now

All I want for Christmas is Tire thermals, come on, devs told it was coming for 0.26 but then they suddenly gave radio silence about this feature and it has been this way since, It's probably on the works and would be great to pair with the ETK widebody (GT3esque car and tire thermal + Racing = fun)

all i want for christmas is trophy truck and new map

Today is the tueser teasday!

zachariah.74 · Dec 6, 2022

Looking forward to seeing the teaser today, still hoping for tyre thermals or a clue to the release date

A clue for the release date would be cool but it is very unlikely tbh

We at least know its likely to come this month I suppose, I just like having specific dates because it makes me excited

LucasBE · Dec 6, 2022

Looking at previous teasers, they all came out between 2PM and 5PM German time, with most of them being at 4:30.
It's currently 2PM there, which means it should come out in the next 3 hours or so
