Concept: ETK G (W460-W463)

Suggestion: ETK G (Based on Mercedes W460/W463)

Hey,
I've seen this mentioned briefly before, but figured I’d write something up myself.

ETK G – based on the Mercedes W460 (1979–1994) and the early W463s (1990 onward).
This would be a pretty versatile vehicle overall, and if done right, something really unique and special in the BeamNG community.
Ofcourse being highly inspired by the real life counterpart including wheels, engine and suspension mods.

There’s a lot of potential here when it comes to both engines and configurations. For example:

Engine types:

• Petrol and diesel options
  
  
• Naturally aspirated or turbocharged
  
  
• Something slow and basic all the way up to highly modified builds

Possible configurations:

• Short wheelbase (3-door)
  
  
• Long wheelbase (5-door)
  
  
• Pickup conversion
  
  
• Military variants (SWB & LWB, different nations)
  
  
• Highly modified off-roader builds
  
  
• Jalopy/rotten/abandoned versions

It could be lore-friendly too, fitting into ETK’s history as a more utility-focused vehicle from their past, before their current luxury/performance image took over.

If done well, I think this could really stand out and maybe even become a fan favorite.
Thanks for reading — and if anyone out there is thinking of making something like this, just take this as an idea or base to build on. There’s a lot you could do with it!

 

Yeah it would be nice to have some game stock SUVs for the gavril SUVs to compete with.

 

I would love this too

 

Everyone loves the G class

 

That’s my idea—I created it a long time ago, and you just copied it. I actually wrote about it in the "Big Pack" thread; here’s the link: https://www.beamng.com/threads/suggestion-big-pack-realism.111042/

I just called it the "J-Series" there to get around copyright issues.

 

cool suv

 

YK i'm doing the ETK Q-Series looks sth like this, it's like an EUDM of the Roamer. (Left one, there are other changes all over the car, if you want more details tell me)

 

Got more things to show:

Hood opening comparision

Q 4100 i (Left, Mid trim with I6 engine) vs Q 5500 TTsport R (Right, Top Super Sport trim, V8 engine)

Video showcase:


There are still conflicting textures here and there that I'm currently trying to fix.

 

After 2 crashouts, got steering wheel working
