We need more types of engines

[AeroCat3]

Like inline 2's 2 strokes and V2's

smaller and more unique engines may come in a while but i wouldnt get any hope for 2 strokes. im hoping for an improved exhaust sound system whenever after superchargers and the rest of their current roadmap

[MirkoC407]

I don't bet on 2 stroke either. For them basically the same is valid as for wankel or diesel: a completely new engine builder is required, because their physics are completely different to 4 stroke engines. You need to consider lubrication as a reliability factor, power depends also on cylinder flush, but good flush will also increase fuel consumption because it means unburnt air-fuel-mixture is going into the exhaust, usually the intake runs through the crankshaft housing and the piston going downwards will build up pressure there in some sort of primitive supercharging. So not really much of the existing calculation model will remain.

Basically the devs said that in the future, when the game is finished, they would consider launching more engines as DLC.

"A potential first engine pack DLC after the game is done: I2, Boxer-2 (Flat Twins), V4.
In case the sales are high enough we’d consider making: I8, Flat-8, Flat-12."

will it contain wanken (rotary)

I'm holding out for triple-expansion steam engines myself, then one of those nuclear powertrain concepts from the 1950s.

I'm genuinely hoping for single cylinders, inline 2s, v-twins, and V4s myself. Mainly so i can live out my "Motorbike engines in tiny cars" fantasies, but also so i can make a pinto

Don't forget the gas turbine. At least that made it into prototype stage real life. Plus there were several cars (most famous Rover P6) at least prepared to get one Smallest vehicle I have seen drawings of to be powered by nuclear was actually a train locomotive.

Then you might be interested in the Ford Nucleon. You could probably build it as an electric car and use mod parts to simulate the reactor and elecric motors, if you've a mind to: External link --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Nucleon

Interesting thing. Thank you. I have seen it already on pictures and remembered the shape, but did not know the drive concept was actually nuclear.

There were quite a few "atomic car" concepts, but they were, of necessity, rather vague when it came to explaining how it was going to work.

I could see slanted engines happening after release like what some TVRs have.

[Large Leader Mela]

I think the only missing conventional 4 stroke petrol engine type that was actually mass produced was the V4. Would be nice to have these. But like the FAQ says. It's a DLC thing.

We'll probably have to wait for DLC or an extremely clever mod. It's hard to slant engines in the current model. Well, actually, it's easy, but all the fixtures on the engine maintain their orientation to the block, so slanting an engine can be difficult if you also have a low bonnet/hood, because if that part of the car is sleek and low, parts of your intake or exhaust might peek out when you'd rather they didn't.

True, they can't really be detailed on the reactor itself because making a reactor, the radiation shielding around it and the crash structure to protect it all in a crash means you pretty much have to use weapons grade uranium to get the reactor small enough to fit in a car. Which is obviously just a bit of a proliferation hazard...
