It was previously announced that the iconic animated series was collaborating with Fortnite, but that's not the only place where enthusiasts can immerse themselves in the world of Springfield. The beloved show is coming over to Rocket League, introducing an in-game car skin that will also be compatible in Fortnite. That said, whether players will truly desire to equip it is another question, as fans have their hearts set on just one Simpsons vehicle the community is eager to drive, and this isn't it.

The Dream Vehicle

While many gamers would undoubtedly love to face off behind the wheel of Homer's custom creation—the notoriously impractical automobile Homer designed himself in the 1991 installment "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"—regrettably, that isn't what's being offered. Not even receiving the massive SUV, the enormous vehicle featured in the tenth season. Rather, fans are getting the Simpsons' everyday well-worn four-door, which they've been driving since 1989. Though this particular car has accumulated plenty of miles, it remains an iconic symbol of the series. For those who analyze the game's car hitboxes, the trusty sedan uses the identical collision model as the Dominus body type.
