Air refrigerated engines/Same-side Engines

Hi, i'm here to ask/propose/discuss, if Air-refrigerated will be/might be on game.
I searched for it and i didn't found, so here I am
Because, we know, Volkswagen Beetle, was a 4 Cylinder Boxer Air-refrigerated, it is a car that sold a lot around the world, and, i think that, the game is about a car company, so, for a begining campain I think the air-refrigerated engine would be good!^^ It is Fun, and not only Volkswagen used, but Porsche used air-refrigerated engines until early's 80 I think... And they were very good engines.

Other thing I want to ask is, the engines with the Admission and Exhaust in the same side, General motors used this on their 6-Inline and 4-inline engines, Here in Brazil we had a ''muscle car'' (At least we call him Muscle) named Opala, that it has a very powerful 6-inline engine, the same engine from Impala,Camaro and Nova. It is a cheap engine created in early's 60,that sold a lot and it was very lasting. Here in Brazil sold 1 million of these cars with 4 and 6 cylinders inline (Both with Admission and Exhaust on same side) engines. It is a very dynamic engine, it was used for light Trucks,cars, normal sedans,coupes and SS versions.'

You're english is just fine :) At least I could understand it.
Good idea you have there! Maybe this can be introduced in the early years, like the first 10 years maybe.

Oh, Thanks^^ It's good to know that...
So, I Thought of something like that, first 10 years, to create an old and cheap engine it would be very nice... Let's wait for it.

Re: Air refrigerated engines/Same-side Engines

In the early period this would be a viable option for sure. While I'm not certain we'll be able to implement air-cooled engines for Automation 1.0, this option definitely is important enough to consider for any expansion/DLC. Especially if we at some point should explore earlier years. :)

YES! it might be done ^^
Thanks to the fast reply, very nice. So, lets wait and see if it is good for a DLC or something, I just wanted to know if its viable or not, and what you think about it... Nice
So, now that I have no questions, I will go back to the game.
