It's all new.
Yay.Full Change
2022 ETK K SERIES
IT IS TIME TO GIVE A NEW LOOK TO OUR MODERN GT.[Excel Chart With Full List Of In-Real-Life Engines, Torques, Diffs Are Provided!]
Link is down there, but if you are lazy, click >>HERE<<And be advised; Custom and Police Configuration will be packed together on the second release. We decided to focus on the Factory model first. Again, we hope you guys won't get confused by some configs lacking in this chart. (But hey, 2020 Special edition and LEXUS LFA V10 will be on the first release.)
Welcome, community
We are making a full change version of our long favored 2-door GT, ETK K series. This thread was originally created in the ideas and suggestions forum, and it was just an idea and concept in our mind. But we decided to make this project for real, and it became a WIP project.
Long story short, pss5156 made the sketch of the new ETK K series facelift, and now @pss5156 (Crispy Gaming) took Overall design and management of this thread, @sun_key, @Exchy and @P_enta is working on the 3D modeling. C63S has studied car design and will share many design ideas with me on the project ahead. @MarkosRuiz is working on a engine mod.
This was first started as a facelift. The car had to have the same identity as the old one, and also appealing at the same time. Overall change was made, but while doing this project we decided the car still look too old to say it is 2022 version. So one day we asked community to vote which is better; full change or facelift. And community picked full change. As a result, I assume there will be a edit on 'unibody' chassis to our mod. Which means it gets a whole new unibody. We will try to reduce the failure of compatibility with the other mods(like wheels and stuff), by gathering some of the modders together.
New Vehicle, New Naming
New naming will be used. It is not complicated. Follow me close here.
First, Badges by the Class of the vehicle
"C"
Stands for 'City'. For civilians, for everyone.
"A"
Stands for 'Avantgarde'. It has both luxury and style.
"S"
Stands for 'Sport'. Fast and nimble with its upgraded turbo.
"TTS"
Stands for 'TwinTurbo Sport'. A badge for the most profound K series which inherited the race spirit from its ancestor, tt sport.
"TA"
Stands for 'TrackAttack'. With weight reduction and some aero parts, it's track-ready.Second, Number by the Engine Type
4 - I4
6 - I6
8 - V8Third, Lettering given by the Intake
Nothing - Stage 1 Turbo (Basic turbo) or Diesel Turbo (Only for diesel model)
T - Stage 2 turbo (Sport turbo)
TTS(No lettering after "TTS" badge lettering) - Stage 2 Twin Turbo (Only for TTS model)Forth, Lettering given by the Fuel Type
Nothing - Gasoline
d - DieselFinally, Lettering given by the Drivetrain
Nothing - RWD (Rear Wheel Drive drivetrain)
X - AWD (All Wheel Drive drivetrain)So gathering all those naming process, we can get a result of a name like;
A6Td, TTS8X, TA*
(*No more lettering added after TA. It's special edition.)21 Factory, 2 Special Edition, 4 Custom, 5 Police Unit
Provides 52 Configurations TotalHave you realized that few numbers of official configurations exists in the K series? Not anymore. We are planning to make much more than that. In addition to the vehicle class C, A, S, TTS, TA we have separated, we provide race, special editions, customized vehicles and so on. Here are the lists of the configurations that we are planning to make by now and by few more future updates.

!ATTENTION!
The decision that we planned to make a full change version of this car happened on 01/09/2021. So it is pretty recent. We are planning ANOTHER design or the car. But not by the sketch. We are discussing them with the 3D modeling, so by the time our discussion is done, the main body panels will be finished too. So stay tuned
The most part we put our efforts by far. The actual design of the car. How are we going to make K Series beautiful and recognizable at the same time? pss5156(Crispy Gaming) made few concepts in the old posts, and over the 1 year of the blank period, he improved the design more. Accepting the opinions saying that the headlight is small, front bumper design is not so clear etc.
You can see that the headlight design became much more detailed. The first one from the old post actually doesn't have that much detail, it even makes the front of the car less sharper. The second and third picture of the front sketch section is the improved design. Also, second picture will be new 2020 Special Edition with its own rim. It is inspired from the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento. Forth Picture shows the detailed headlight component.

*new sketchesThe 3D modeling of body work will be mainly done by pss5156(Crispy Gaming) and sun_key, and Interior job will be done by Exchy. The rear bumper is done by sun_key, and the front bumper and front fender is done by pss5156(Crispy Gaming).
3D modeling progresses
And lastly, here are the rims we are featuring. I wrote some words down there, I will present to you with some clean chart later, with supporting rim sizes for each rims.
ETK Avant6 rim was inspired from Bentley Continental GT. For ETK 2020SPE rim, it was inspired from the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento wheel. It will have complex 3D mess. ETK TTS5 rim was inspired from Ford GT 66' Heritage Edition. It will have same gun metalish bronze color to it. sun_key is doing all rim 3D work.

The most important thing of the K Series; engine. There is a specific table of engine list I am making from few days ago, comparing each and every production engine & intake for reality. Now we are presenting the EXCEL CHART OF FULL COMBINATION LIST WITH ENGINES. Also, MarkosRuiz(who is on charge of making engines) and crewmates will discuss further more in the future. Here is the engines he already finished making.

We will talk about 3D modeling and etc stuff progresses as soon as we finish talking about it. Under this line is the older posts.<2020/10/21>
I wanted to start this post saying, 'Sorry and thank you.'I did not expected there would be this much support even though I said the mod will be on hold for the moment. There was still some people who wanted this mod to be continued, and few people actually contacted me in person, to ask if they can join us, or encouraged us to continue to make this mod. It almost took a year to come back. And I want to say thank you for all of your support, and sorry for the waiting.
And I want you ask you guys a final favor. There is only 60 + days left until I finish my university enrollment test. If I finish this test, it would be a December for all things around me to finally settle down. So I will promise you, dear community;2021 January, with my personal Youtube channel, only dedicated to this mod making progress, mod will be back.
Thing is, I did not just abandoned this mod away while the project was on hold, I made several sketches. So now the design of second headlight(Because the first one I designed sucked, lmao), mirrors(low budget, luxery, racing), rims(there will be a 2020 special ver... oops, nobody heard that), seats, spoilers, some garnishes are finished(Interior is not finished, FYI. Dang it, I never tried to draw an interior in my life until this project).Want some sneak peek? Well, here is some
(That rim design was pain.)
Also, since my design is bit complicated and has detail 3D features that I can't describe effectively to my lovely 3D design crewmates(sorry), I thought it would be better for me and team if I join the 3D work, too. I never EVER used 3D design tool on PC. But I played with some clay design for few years, so i think I can join and support him.
All things aside, thank you again for the waiting and support, we will never let you down. Put your seatbelts on! When time comes and first video uploads, at January, the adventure to our modding will finally begin again. Dear community, until then, we are welcoming any suggestions or questions. See you all soon!
Sincerely, pss5156
(That is awkward nickname and I am regrating it. Please give me any suggestion of name that is not embarrasing. Haha)<2019/9/26 post>
I need some help making this mod, and doing it in the ideas and suggestions forum wasn't suitable with the purpose of my thread, so I moved it in here. Anyone who wants to see the last post, click 'spoiler'. Any ideas and suggestions of my work is welcomed. And I really want to collaborate with mod makers. Feel free to contact me. Thank youPast thread link is CLOSED.
<2019/9/20 post>
Rear design of K Series is now complete!(One good night of sleep gave me the idea. Forget 9/19 post) Now I am going to rest for a while. Then I am going to design wheels, and some air dynamics. I want this progress slow but steady. If there is anyone who wants to join me and support me(please), I'll be more active on this mod. Thank you everybody for support me and give me the suggestion, see you again soon

Rear facelift design of K-Series<2019/9/19 post>
Thing is not going well as I supposed to... Rear design is a tough part of all. Some of you might read my reply, the rear end is the most important parts for us because we always get to stare a back of a car. So I really took some serious times thinking about them. It is not a complete sketch and I need help. Ha ha
'So I completed the original car sketch'
'I erased the bottom one and drew the top indicators... Wait, it is way more odd-looking than I originally anticipated.'
'Screw it. How about this one.'
(RIP paper) 'God... I really cannot find the appropriate line.'
And there we go. Current status. And I am completely unsatisfied. My paper got ripped a little bit so it is rough as hell. But I think I kinda know there I am going. Couldn't fuse Volvo design onto it because when you do that double line, it is just a Volvo. Struggling to make it look new and inherited from the ancestor K series. But guys, few weeks past since I posted the last post, I am not dead, stay tuned!<2019/8/26 post>
Rear bumber is coming! Actually, I didn't finished it that much. But still working on it. Scribbling things and throw away everyday. And mid term is coming too, personally. But still, stay tuned<2019/8/20 post>
I made a full first sketch of a facelift version of ETK K-series for the first time. Here is the result. It became a less aggresive but more stylish. I will post another one with few more pictures of designing processes. Stay tuned.
First design concept.<2019/8/19 post>
Summery of this post: I've read some comments from you guys(Blah Blah) I am currently need someone to help me make a mod of this when I'm done drawing. If there's any mod creators who wants to join me or help me working with this mod, feel free to contact me. I know that there is another way to send a personal message through this Beamng official community site. Comment is fine too.<2019/8/17 post>
Summery of this post: Roughly designed a facelift ver. of ETK K-series including wider front air vents and aggressive headlights. One single circle HID headlights(1) Daylight LEDs(2) A tiny vent(or maybe a piece of silver metal)(3) An indicator(4) (Numbers are in the picture 1) not a lot changes but more aggresive looking.
