Will you make the coupe/clownshoe version?
No. I'm sure some of you would have loved to see that version of the car in-game but it's simply too much work for what I'm trying to accomplish with this mod. I'd have to model, texture and jbeam an entirely new chassis and body panels, which is not what I'm looking for. I'm trying to keep this mod as simple and efficient as possible.

I'm not making my mod compatible with anything, if other modders want to make their mods compatible with mine then they're free to do so.
I can't spend my time making sure every single mod is compatible with mine.

The first generation of ETK's roadster, the K-Series, was released in 1994 following high demand for sportier vehicles in the late 90s. The K-Series was later reintroduced in 2015 as a coupe-only sports car.

I've been working on this for the past 2 weeks (yes, really.) and I felt like I was far enough in development to create a thread for this thing.

If it wasn't obvious already, this was modeled using the BMW Z3 as my main reference. I then "lore-friendlied" the entire design, editing the rear quarter panels, headlights, taillights, grille, etc.. to make it look like an ETK.
I am far from the best designer, but with the help of a few friends on Discord I think we managed to get it to a place where it makes sense as an ETK-branded car, and not just a rebadged Z3.

Current Progress

3D Model - 60%
Textures - 60%
Jbeam - 90%

The only things left to do are the drivetrain and interior models and textures, as well as a few additional parts. I haven't started to set up the configs yet.

Your Questions

As always here are a few answers to some of the most popular questions I've seen so far :

When/Where relez?
I plan on releasing this on the repository later this summer, so late august/september if everything goes to plan. Keep in mind that I can't dedicate all of my time to modding. It surely is a hobby I enjoy, but entering my last year in high school I need to focus on that too. I also have a family that I love a lot and would like to spend some time with.

In the end I think that the question should be if, and not when relez, what matters is that this will be available eventually.

What drivetrain will it have?
Currently there are 3 engine options : 2.0L I4, 2.4L I6, and 3.0L I6. The higher the trim, the bigger the engine.
Suspension-wise it's heavily based on a Honda S2000, using double-wishbone suspension front and rear, RWD only.

Will you make the coupe/clownshoe version?
No. I'm sure some of you would have loved to see that version of the car in-game but it's simply too much work for what I'm trying to accomplish with this mod. I'd have to model, texture and jbeam an entirely new chassis and body panels, which is not what I'm looking for. I'm trying to keep this mod as simple and efficient as possible.

Feel free to ask me anything, your feedback is welcome!
