Engine bay / lights etc.

-Will the engine bay space LIMITS engine dimensions? Playing Carbiz let me think it's abnormal that 1m hood can hide a V12 :D
-Will there be pop-up headlights? Also with a mixed configuration (ex. Ferrari F40, std low beam and pop-up high beam)
-Will there be variations of the same body? Ex. same body from hood to front seat, then options to create sedan/wagon/pickup version of the same car, with "copy/paste" function of all the aestetichs (grilles, lights ecc.). Car makers usually do this...
-Cars, 4x4... will there be also vans and trucks?
-Some simple aestetich changes in normal body design, like bulges, to use on roof or hood (ex. normal car has flat hood, sport version has curved hood to make clearance for bigger engine / ex. '70s UK sport cars have low roof with 2 bulges to add clearance for racing helmets)

I was wondering about that as well ? Also the ability to create a basic design and then copy it to create different specs such as "E, GL, GTI" etc or perhaps 2 or 4 door models.
When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

1 - YES

2 - YES but not sure if they'll actually pop up or not yet...

3 - Should be different versions of the same body, yes. Right now you can't copy paste fixtures etc. But you could at least use the same fixtures on the wagon version etc.

4 - Vans yes, trucks only in the sense of pickups or utes.

5 - You have control to deform parts of the body and make bonnet humps etc. - May also add scoops and such, but have not as yet

Yep, you can create a "Platform" for example a BMW 3 Series, and create "Models" from it (for example a 318, a 330 and an M3)

That sounds good to me. :P

Cant wait to create a shopping trolley of a car and then make an extreme sport model by shoving a bonkers V8 in :lol:
