Porsche 991 RSR to Porsche Cayman GT4
Porsche 992 Turbo to Porsche Cayman GT4
Porsche 992 Turbo to Porsche 997
Porsche 992 Turbo to Porsche 993 RS CS
RUF RGT or CTR2 to Porsche 996

also this might be the inspiration of the GAC Maverick engined Cayman GT4

 
LS9-Corvette to Camaro Z28 '69 for the Stielow Red Devil reference. I kinda wonder why PD chose the LT4 instead of LS9, though given the LT4 is a Camaro engine, I guess for the restomod factor?
 
Still wish we had “stock” engine swaps for cars, I’d love to put an inline six into the Camaro or a v12 into the e type.
 
Almost a year since I posted this: Still no new car can use the 458 Italia engine.

Good job, PD. Bravísimo.
I feel your pain.

I would really like to use the 458 gr3 engine to create these

I wouldn’t be surprised if the 205 got a Honda swap. ;)


it's now equipped with the legendary B16B engine. With nearly 100 dyno runs in the book testing and developing parts, it produces 212 BHP @ 9200rpm from its 1600cc naturally aspirated engine. Combined with a full Spoon Sports short ratio gearbox and plated differential, it certainly holds its own against more powerful cars.

205 needs 1.9/2.0 liter 16 valve inline 4 swap as that is most popular combination as many of 205 GTI have been swaped with 309 GTI 16 valve engine.
For now, Integra Type R engine would be only engine that we currently have, but that engine is also availible to 205 GTI closest competitor currently in game, Civic EF. So to make things more interesting best solution would be to add MX-5 NC 2.0 in the next update, and take taht 2.0 liter availible to swap into 205 to resolve that problem that is currently bothering us.

When we get MX-5 NC, best swap for it would be BAC mono 2.5 liter engine.

I still want retro engine swaps, I wanna run a 69 Camaro with a straight six or an e type Jaguar with a v12. I don’t want these, here toss this new Camaro engine in the old one. I know it seems opposite of what most want, almost detuning but lots of old cars came with different engine options so if you have engine swaps in your game, it only makes sense.

Also means we could maybe swap in a 350 into the nova.
 
What is your engine swap wishlist? Could be realistic or hypothetical. Mine:

Twin hayabusa on Suzuki swift
Well looks like you finally got one of your wishes, and you'll technically have to thank a VGT for it! :D

As for me I just want some more reasonable swaps e.g the RX8 engine in something, maybe a dodge viper engine in the SLS AMG or something fun like that, no need for OBSCENE POWER you won't get to use the full extent of.

Just something that isn't a Turbo LS7, modified K24A, or Chiron swap
