It was previously announced that The Simpsons was teaming up with Epic Games' battle royale, but that's not the only place where enthusiasts can experience the universe of Springfield. The beloved show is also making its way to the popular soccer-driving hybrid, bringing along an in-game car skin that will also be usable in Fortnite. That said, whether players will truly desire to equip it is a different matter, as there's only one Springfield car everyone is itching to drive, and this new offering isn't that one.

The Dream Vehicle

While many players would undoubtedly love to face off behind the wheel of The Homer—the notoriously impractical car Homer built personally in the 1991 episode "the one where he meets Herb"—that's not what's being offered. Not even getting the massive SUV, the heavy-duty truck featured in the tenth season. Instead, fans will obtain the Simpsons' standard beat-up four-door, which they've been driving since the show's early days. Though this particular car has accumulated plenty of miles, it stands as an recognizable element of the series. And for players who analyze the game's car hitboxes, the Simpson family car shares the identical collision model as the Dominus body type.
