    yeah cos the turbo does the low end high throttle stuff and the supercharger does the high end

    Firstly I thought that too, but then I tought about how the app could calculate the nitrous injection. I mean you can activate nos, but you also can drive without it. So my next assumption is that this is a combination between a supercharger and a turbocharger, or two turbochargers.

    I have some other ideas on what it could be.
    1: twin cam one for fast driving and one for normal but why would it be fitted to a rally car
    2: Antilag maybe? In the video it seems that it has alot more power in lower rpms but nitrous has nearly the same effect but much more
    3: Sequential turbos but i dont think its fitted to rally cars as they mostly only have one
    4: Twincharging wich seems to be the most likely one as the tourquecurve says combined and twincharging was used in rallycars and i dont see nitrous comming to beam yet so my bet is on twincharging

    Like I said here, I reckon this could be one of two options. Either we're getting...

    *An ETK V10 in the K-Series/800 Series
    or
    *Something else...potentially a new supercar?

    Also, Diamondback rated that post "Awesome", so who knows what that means?

    Huh? I have proof that you rated it "Awesome" here. This is for that very post, which now has an "Awesome" rating by someone else.

    Anyway...about this graph everyone's talking about. I reckon it could mean that we now have some new engine upgrades to play with, such as camshafts and pistons and such. Although..it could also be a twin-charge system as everyone is saying it is. But what has me interested is the standard horsepower-248 horsepower in an N/A engine is not a power rating that I've heard of, so....maybe this is a combination of both mechanical tuning and twin-charging, or it could also be a whole new engine.

    It looks like VTEC to me. It might also use some kind of forced induction, but I can't quite tell.

    I hope it's nitrous, I want to blow an engine or two up! Full throttle, engage nitro, then boom! The car shakes and engine parts go everywhere, the engine bay getting shredded.

    Thats for the developer response section? Unless you were talking about that and not the videos (I might just be confusing myself)

    OT: I hope that this is twin charging or vvl/vvt because that would be interesting and allow for weird modding and tuning options.

    I'm not sure what you mean by this...but if I've read it correctly, it was from the Developer Response section like you said. Other than that...I'm confused by your confusion.

    I am too lol. I thought when you were saying he rated your post it was for the V10 engine sound.

    Yes, AFAIK, that was for the V10 engine sound.

    Seems like the forum keeps playing tricks on me. Save to say, whatever you saw, it was no intentional rating on my side.

    I've noticed that the devs have been very active the past few days, looks like the next update will have a lot of cool features. We might get a small portion of Italy released next update like JRI was.

    WCUSA is more likely.

    Although part of me misses the WIP releases they did way back when, it's not going to happen and that's probably for the best. The sound system was a WIP release and with how many people complained about it acting like it was the final release, we can expect that will happen again with any more WIP releases.

    The tow truck and WCUSA have been in a state where they could be in game for awhile now (I have no idea what state Italy as a whole is aside from "very far from complete") but the dev's seem to be holding their work to higher and higher quality standards and not wanting unfinished work entering the official releases. I assume the WIP releases they did back then was because of how slow development use to take and because they had the experimental release to put that kind of stuff in.

    Imagine that a human being would do something other than work 24/7.

    Blows my mind.
