LWB Grand Marshal + Gavril V12 (NA + QuadTurbo) 1.1.2

In this update:

Fixed:

• The LWB, which is 6in longer than the SWB, now weighs 200lbs more, as it should. The weight is realistically distributed between the frame, the body (doors and glass) and the rear running gear.
• The LWB configs now include Heavy Duty shocks and springs to make up for the extra weight.
• Fixed some interior geometry on the C pillars
• Config information now has actual weight information
• Revised rear doors shading

Added:

• Now you can choose between both windowed and window-less C-pillar. The configs include both versions:
• Cheap LWB variants have the windowed version: fleet, BCPD, etc.
• More expensive versions, including Taxi and Police use the thick C-pillar
• Gavril V12 engine, with custom ECU and Sound. Torque curve and main sound sample is from Automation, but it has been tweaked. There is a config with this engine included.

Story of the V12

Gavril started a performance related project, for which they took 2 modular V8s, removed 2 cylinders from each, and thus created a 90º V12. Although the base engine was the 4.5, which would give 6.75L as a V12, since the application was meant to be sporty, the stroke was reduced for increased revs and responsiveness, thus resulting in "just" 6L, and a conservative redline of over 7000 rpm. It produced about 300hp and 440 lbft (~600Nm) in a very smooth way in its NA form.

Unfortunately due to the financial situation the project was cancelled at the very last moment, just after production for the V12 had started. Only about a hundred units had been made at that time, but in order not to waste them, Gavril decided to fit them to the Grand Marshall, which was easy because it was the car that they were using to test the engine in the first place. Thus, the super exclusive but not so expensive V12 LWB Grand Marshal hit the roads.



Hope you have fun with it
