The long-running series is coming over to the popular soccer-driving hybrid, bringing along an in-game car skin that will also be usable in the Fortnite universe. That said, if gamers will actually want to use it is a different matter, as fans have their hearts set on just one Simpsons vehicle the community is eager to get behind the wheel of, and this isn't it.

The Dream Vehicle

Although most players would absolutely enjoy to compete behind the wheel of The Homer—the famously flawed car Homer designed personally in the classic installment "the one where he meets Herb"—that's not what's being offered. Not even receiving the massive SUV, the enormous truck featured in the tenth season. Instead, players are getting the family's standard well-worn sedan, which they've been driving since the show's early days. Even though this specific vehicle has seen better days, it stands as an recognizable symbol of the show. For those who pay attention to the game's car hitboxes, the Simpson family car uses the identical collision model as the Dominus.
