BeamNG ETK S-Series Mod: Overview & Features

The ETK-S Series is back in BeamNG! This  top-of-the-line ETK mod is luxurious and   sporty. Let's check out the brand new configs and  the awesome engines in this revamped mod. So here   is the ETK S-Series, it's the top-of-the-line  flagship ETK and as you can see it's just a   little bit bigger than the ETK 800 sedan.  It has much smoother lines than the ETK 800,   it's really actually a bit better looking in in my  opinion. This mod was originally released in 2017   by modder NinetyNine! it's been improved and fixed  by the community. The interior is quite similar to   the other ETKs in the game but we've got a brand  new steering wheel and a slightly different GPS   screen. This is the base model it's powered by  a 2.0L straight 4 petrol with 188 horsepower and   listen to this exhaust [Loud Exhaust]. That is  so raspy! This car is meant to be luxurious and   sporty I guess it's like a BMW 7 Series or maybe  a Mercedes S-Class. So what is the ETK S-Series   like to drive well just like the other ETKs it's a  heavy car but this thing shifts its weight around   really well and for just 180 horsepower from this  base model it's actually pretty quick. We've got a   automatic gearbox you can also have a manual and  there's choices between all-wheel drive and rear   wheel drive. But look at this it's actually really  easy to just point and you floor it and grips   well. This mod is free and on the BeamNG forums,  I've left a link below. So this is a modded car   it's based on a lot of the assets and textures  of the ETK 800 but what is the crash model like.   70mph Into a concrete barrier and? Oh yeah okay  that seems all right. It looks like we've stuck   actually onto this thing come on get off oh there  we go we're off. Yeah I think it's a pretty good   crash model the passenger cabin hasn't deformed  that much the wheels have been shifted back I'm   impressed. There are 29 configs in this mod many  of them are new including eight new police cars   let's check them all out. This is the 6 cylinder  diesel it produces about 250 horsepower let's   listen to it [Diesel Engine Noise]. Actually  sounds pretty raspy as well. Unfortunately the   opening doors are broken if I try and open them  watch this. Look the door opens eventually and   then goes well beyond its travel that's not good  and you can't open the hood either but in the   next update of this mod it will be fixed. Look  there goes the door! With this one we've got a   brown interior that is really weird it's more like  orange actually. Anyway, manual gearbox with this   one although we have got a automatic shifter  down there. Oh wow this is powerful a lot of   torque from this engine don't ask me how much but  the petrol and diesel models have a similar amount   of horsepower but the diesel obviously has a lot  more torque. This car relies on turbocharging   for its power and we're going to check out a V12  engine a bit later that's got a twin turbocharger.   You would not know this car weighed nearly 2 tons  and had a diesel engine because it's so much fun   to drive. Can we get the thing to drift? Here  we go rear wheel drive diesel. Okay that's not   gone well. Dump the clutch. Oh you know what a  diesel is actually drifting. Wow it does drift!   I remember loving this mod back in the day.  Unfortunately the original mod has not been   updated since 2017 pretty much just after it came  out, but the modding community of BeamNG is great   they come along and they fix these old mods and  bring them back to us we've seen it quite a lot   in the past couple of years. Here we go big crah  test oh what the? Okay that is a bit weird uh.   What is that it's like all the battery and washer  fluid bottles? Here are two of the new configs.   We've got the ETK Driving Experience, you've seen  that on the other ETKs in BeamNG and the Prototype   version. This has dazzle camouflage on it to  stop those cheeky auto journalists from working   out what car this is. Although they always do, I  don't really get the point of this I can tell it's   an ETK I don't know about you. But let's drive  the Driving Experience this has the six cylinder   engine and all-wheel drive. We've turned the ESC  off and I'm interested to see just how much better   this thing is so remember about 250 horsepower  let's floor it [Engine Revs]. It feels no   different of course the car is slightly heavier  because we've got the all-wheel drive system   but let's go for a cornering test here we go I'm  going to power into this corner. Oh understeer!   Woah lots of understeer. Yeah I wasn't expecting  that much under steer but woah... Yeah the brakes   actually on the base models aren't as good as I  thought they would be. Luckily we do have better   brakes on the ttSport configs we'll be checking  out later. If you want a bit more luxury you can   get the ETK Exclusive. This has some really  nice alloy wheels look at those it's like the   turbine on a jet engine. On the interior we've  got cream leather, I really really like this   color combination of the black and cream. And  we've just got the six-cylinder engine again but   with a little bit more power it's been tuned and  all-wheel drive thankfully so we're going to put   this thing to the test. Oh you know with the ESC  on it doesn't under steer as much. Let's force our   way through there, there you go that's the power  of all wheel drive. Okay lesson learned if you   want to handle in the all-wheel drive config make  sure, oh we're off road now, make sure you've got   the ESC on and yeah it's brilliant. And we've got  enough power to do donuts here. Here we go come   on! Stay in first gear there we go. The wheels are  juddering! It wouldn't be an ETK with without some   ttSport configs. On the left we've got the normal  ttSport and on the right we have the ttSport Plus.   Now the ttSport has a six cylinder but the ttSport  Plus has a V8. We're going to try the six cylinder   first and see what it's like. The ttSport is just  two wheel drive but that makes it so much fun to   drive. This thing isn't crazy powerful it's more  like a body kit and refined suspension and better   much better brakes. But it still has enough power  to do things like this here we go! Oh yeah that's   quite a good drift. But you would expect more  power you know it's just a six-cylinder it's   all right but, woah! There goes my wing mirror  and brakes? Yeah the brakes do really make up   for it but if I paid all this money for a really  expensive ETK I'd want a bit more power than this.   That's where the ttSport Plus comes in this has  a 4.4L V8 producing over 500 horsepower listen to   this [V8 Exhaust Noise]. That is a nice noise.  Now this thing is four-wheel drive but you can   switch to two wheel drive mode. So let's race it  against the equivalent ETK 800 this should be fun.   Now I'm going to try and use launch control here  so let's get the camera set up there we go we're   on the line and floor it! It's not really revving  that much, oh we're off! Ah... Okay he's much   faster than us. This car is quite heavy but we're  not doing bad we are keeping up with him. Uh yeah   he's like point four of a second faster nearly.  This car's just too heavy really. But look at the   blue brake calipers don't they look great? So I've  put the car into two wheel drive mode let's try it   on the track. First corner, we're going to try and  do a little bit of a drift. Oh yes that's a lot of   fun. There is traffic on the track but we we can  overtake them with ease and the brakes help us get   around the corners. Get out the way! Come on why  would you brake there, why would you brake? Okay   the corner we always do, the corkscrew, let's  see if we can get around it or we can kind of   drift around it. Oh we're off the track. Look at  that Covet, really dirty. Obviously in ttSport   mode this car drives much much easier and oh that  noise [V8 Engine Noise]. That has got to be one   of the best sounding exhaust notes I've heard  in BeamNG for a very long time. The mod comes   with eight police car configs all of which are  new to the ETK S-Series. You've got three police   cars from China and Taiwan. These actually support  Chinese license plate packs which you can find in   the description of the mod's forum page, and two  American police cars they look quite good. But   over here we've got some European police cars  we've got the Gendarmeries, the French police,   German police and the Italian police. You know I  feel like using the Chinese SWAT car let's try it.   Lights are on let's see how this car performs.  Onto the roads of America people are probably   wondering why is there a Chinese SWAT car in  America. Well we're heading up the Mountain Road,   everyone seems to be law abiding right now and  then they stop in the middle of the road like   that. so inappropriate. If you ever see a police  car coming behind you leave them space even if   that means you have to go forward keep driving  a little bit rather than just stop don't just   stop and block my way. Oh my, look at this! This  is crazy. Okay they're sort of doing it. The AI   in BeamNG really needs to be improved. Oh wow  see what I'm talking about? There's been like   a pile up here. What the heck. So the V12 models  on the right we have the Rennspecht SR with those   classic Rennspecht wheels. Of course this is  a tuning company a bit like BMW's Alpina and   on the left we have the long wheelbase version  again with some very unique Alloys. This car is   just slightly longer so we have more leg room  in the back and it does look like it. You can   also see we've only got two seats in the back of  the long wheel base that's because some people   think that a middle seat is not very luxurious  I guess? Let's drive the Rennspecht and actually   this is not that powerful. The V12 can have up to  600 horsepower but in this one it's been slightly   detuned for comfort and it's still really  quick. Here we go woah really quick! Oh my   goodness. And it's got a very smooth beautiful  engine note listen to this [V12 Engine Noise].   Pretty quiet not much engine noise but V12s  generally are designed for smoothness and comfort.   We don't have enough V12 cars in BeamNG, I'd love  to see some crazy V12 engines in all sorts of   vehicles but this is really what I remembered the  ETK S-Series for, its 12 cylinder engine. So how   should we drive the long wheel base? Well this  thing is owned by some very wealthy people and   they want to be chauffeured around in comfort so  I'm not even going to go into sport mode. We're   going to leave it in drive and comfort mode and  oh the engine is virtually silent. It's almost   like we're driving an electric car. A lot of the  power comes from the twin turbochargers so if I   do put my foot down, here we go! It does go, it's  pretty rapid. Sorry in the back there we're just   testing out the performance. But yeah it's nice,  it's really quiet, really luxurious and it still   handles pretty well despite being a few inches  longer in its wheelbase. But yeah it is quick,   snappy gear changes I think this thing is all  wheeel drive. Oh okay well we're going up... Yeah   that's a pretty expensive wreck right there. The  final config is the ttSport GTS Heritage Edition.   This thing actually has the V12 engine [V12 Engine  Noise]. Oh really nice! Over 600 horsepower and   it comes fitted as standard with nitrous. So  let's take this thing onto the track. Let's see   how fast this thing is. 0-60 In about 3 seconds I  believe. Woah, I think it is all-wheel drive but   oh my goodness it's quick. We're losing control  even with the ESC on but it does manage to get us   back on the track. Okay we're going to do a top  speed test here we go nitrous is on. And that's   fourth gear. Wow this thing is crazy quick up  to 7,000 RPM. We're not speed Limited at 155mph   like the other configs this is probably a 200mph  car? No it's not, 186mph is the limit. Here we go   slow motion! Oh wow into the tire wall we've  been demolished. Although this time we don't   have all the weird floating battery and fluid  tanks. Okay one last go around the corkcscrew   corner. I've turned off the nitrous I want to  see how well this thing can handle. Here we go,   good brakes. Oh yes that is pretty good just  managed to hold on to it there, thank you ESC.   I love the ETK S-Series but what do you think let  me know in the comments below and remember this   is a free mod on the forums I've linked it in the  description. If you'd like to see another awesome   ETK mod that's been brought back to life by the  modding community, click the video on screen right   now it's of the ETK 1300 SUV. And I'll see  you soon for some more Simulator Adventures!
