Hirochi Sunburst fans hold onto your hats! The remaster of BeamNG.drive's Japanese boxer-powered car is confirmed with the latest Teaser Tuesday from the team on the official BeamNG.drive Discord.

In the build-up to update 0.35, the BeamNG.drive development team have dropped a massive bombshell: the Hirochi Sunburst remaster!

The Hirchi Sunburst track variants are some of the most popular base game content with sim racers

The remaster has been rumoured and hinted at for over a month now. Players are expecting a hefty update, especially with the lack of content in 2025 so far, so to have the Hirochi Sunburst feature as the car receiving the attention is going to sit well with a lot of the BeamNG.drive fanbase.

Originally introduced back in 0.3 at the tail end of 2013, the Hirochi Sunburst is amongst one of the most used and loved vehicles in the physic sandbox. The Subaru-inspired platform has been a mainstay of the BeamNG.drive roster when it comes to any form of motorsport, whether that be drifting, rallying or time attack.


The sunburst also shines in its street versions, with the car being very popular in people's career modes for various mission types. With this remaster, we can expect to see the Sunburst used in a plethora of new scenarios and content in the future.

Thanks for sharing Connor:)

The Hirochi Sunburst is a great all round car and depending on how you upgrade it, it is loads of fun (personal opinion )...All vehicles in BeamNG are truly deserving of remastering, as each one is unique and unavailable in any other simulation. Personally, I’d be delighted with any choice for the next remaster, as I thoroughly enjoy exploring their designs and diverse variants.;)

A couple of favorite Sunburst variant screenshots.
