It was previously announced that The Simpsons was collaborating with Epic Games' battle royale, but that's not the only destination where fans can immerse themselves in the world of Springfield. The beloved show is coming over to the popular soccer-driving hybrid, introducing an in-game car skin that will also be compatible in Fortnite. However, if gamers will actually want to equip it is another question, as there's only one Springfield vehicle the community is eager to drive, and this new offering isn't that one.

The Dream Vehicle

Although most players would absolutely enjoy to face off behind the wheel of Homer's custom creation—the notoriously impractical automobile Homer built personally in the classic episode "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"—that's not what players are receiving. Not even receiving the massive SUV, the heavy-duty vehicle showcased in season 10. Rather, fans are getting the Simpsons' standard beat-up four-door, which has been in the family since 1989. Though this specific vehicle has accumulated plenty of miles, it remains an iconic symbol of the show. For those who analyze Rocket League vehicle dimensions, the trusty sedan shares the identical collision model as the Dominus.
