The team behind BeamNG.drive has been hard at work recently. Coming off the back of a new hotfix that updates the game to v0.24.1.2, the game’s official Twitter feed has teased a new car coming to the enjoyably realistic driving game. We at Traxion are big fans.
With a tell-tale Owl badge, the new car looks to be from the fictional Civetta brand – most famous for the 80s-style supercar, the Bolide. Deriving inspiration from the DeTomaso Pantera, the Bolide – Italian for Fireball – is appropriately powerful, featuring a mid-engine layout that provides a lively driving experience.
A remastered version of the original Bolide arrived back in December, and with no other details released could this be a 2022 Bolide? Perhaps it will be electric, since most supercar manufacturers are headed in this direction? Time will tell.
Patch v.0.24.1.2 has also been released, featuring updates to the Bruckell Bastion, Burnside Special and the Bolide. The West Coast, Italy, Gridmap and Utah maps have also had minor bug fixes, with general quality of life improvements to the UI and Game Engine.
The full changelog can be found below.
