Judging by how some of the streamers don’t know how to change car colour when buying a car in brand central I wouldn’t expect them to look and or know how to do engine swaps so I’d think we need to wait and see until launch day on those
The guy looked everywhere and obviously viewers were looking for anything they missed, nobody saw anything. As already stated, the engine option in extreme definitely had no other option than reinstalling the same engine.
There are really only two possibilities left, they will appear even later in the game progression unlock or they aren't in the game (yet).
So… ”more” engine swaps

Tokyo Extreme Racer 3 locked engine swaps behind mileage accumulation (2000km per vehicle, IIRC). I wonder if GT7 has some sort of similar feature? It would seem uncharacteristic of PD, but who knows.

I think even if the wording is strange there’s a pretty good chance that engine swaps are what they mean.
It seems odd they’d program an engine swap with the beetle, program a UI element denoting it, and show it off if it wasn’t available in the game. They might not have included it at launch because the feature might still be bugged, or there’s more physics or licensing to work out with the feature.

There’s a theory on the other thread that engines might be awarded as gifts on the roulette. Which might be a fun way of doing it, rather than it being easily accessible once you’re rolling in credits.
If they’re a rarity, it might feel similar to the black prototypes back in the day. With that ‘unicorn’ status. That would be pretty cool actually.

"The higher your Collector Level, the more likely you are to receive a high-ranking Roulette Ticket. These tickets will allow you to win parts and engines that cannot be found at the Tuning Shop, among other special items. In addition to the Roulette Tickets that can be obtained for completing Daily Workouts, there are 'Car Tickets' and 'Credit Tickets' to be won."

I hope this is not the case.

Maybe if the engines themselves are ‘hidden’ and awarded by the roulette, but the actual function is opened up in ‘extreme’ later in your progression, that could work.
So, you’ll get to a point where swaps are always an option, the function is always there in plain sight, but you won’t simply be able to buy any engine; rather you’ll acquire them as time goes on, and eventually you’ll have the right donor car(s) to make the swaps viable.

From the main news thread. Sounds promising!

Yep, it’s a sigh of relief from me! Like I said earlier, I’m actually ok with swaps being treated as a unicorn feature. Could make them feel a bit special (which they really are IRL, so figures). And I also like the sound of special parts that aren’t available through the normal channels. Things like this will help keep the game interesting once progress starts feeling familiar and linear. Add to this the fact PD listed new tuning parts (along with the usual cars, tracks etc) to their info on future DLC, and it should go a long way towards ensuring longevity in the customisation part of the game.

Perhaps the swap is done within GT Auto rather than the tuning shop? (I don't know what I'm talking about since I don't have the game 
)
