A few observations about the beta version
1) The engine from Lambo still needs to be definitely tuned. Currently it's just a reskinned V8 from a Plymouth Fury with a few tweaks in the stats. But practically all versions of the Countach are supposed to have a V12 engine with far more power. I did a performance test of both engines and put them on the bus. To my surprise, the engine from the Plymouth Fury turned out to be more powerful in the hills than the one from the Lambo. The engine from the Fury slows down on the hill, but it maintains its power much longer even at low revs and was able to get over the top(in this test). The Lambo engine loses power very quickly once it gets to lower revs and comes to a complete stop very shortly afterwards.(Couldn't get over over the top in this test.)

Here is a clip from the live stream where we tested it::

And this is video on the test map:

2) The character on the motorbike leans to the wrong side when cornering. When you ride a motorcycle (but this also applies to a bicycle), you always lean in the direction you are turning. But in the game, the character leans to the exact opposite side. Many motorbike drivers could tell you how unpleasant and dangerous it is if they are carrying a passenger and he leans like that in a corner.

3) Sharp road edges at the top of hills or at the bottom of hills, in depressions or gradients. It is necessary to round them so that vehicles do not get stuck here.

4) It would be nice if there was an option in the menu to turn off the spawn of boulders on the road.

I think they make us lean the wrong way to make it look funny on purpose LOL

I understand that the majority of players play this game for memes, silliness and fun. I personally belong to the minority who play it in a slightly more serious spirit and simply enjoy the simplified vehicle maintenance and the long relaxing drive.

Have you found any lambo engines in the World or did you spawned it?

It was just a test so I spawned everything.

Well IRL that same v12 in that car is HORRID. Equal to a 90s Jaguar's own which is 200 some HP. lol So it makes sense. Idk why people assume that car was some kinda super car of its day when i-roc camaros out paced it. So the v8 being more torque heavy and more HP makes sense.


DURP....

I'm sure you don't really care that much, but the motorcycle leaning is actually a proper way of taking a corner at slow or high speeds that allows more down force to be applied to the tires. Fully leaning into the corner off the bike only makes a difference if a motorcycle can apply enough down force from the machine itself, and really only helps a pro rider going over 100 mph. If you watch any dirt rider they will be leaning "away" from the turn.

I added a little video in case you are actually interested in the topic -
