Volkswagen Phaeton v1.0 Revamp (0.40.x)
A comprehensive overhaul of the VW Phaeton mod for BeamNG.drive 0.40. The original mod was broken in the current version of the game; this version has been almost entirely rebuilt, including the body, physics, engines, lighting, and interior.
Configurations:
18 trim levels: includes all engine options, a "Black" edition, body-colored roof variants, American-market V8 and W12 versions (with imperial units: mph, °F), as well as Race, Top Speed, and a W12 Twin Turbo "Bentley Swap" configuration.
FIXES AND ADDITIONS
Body and Physics
- Accurate dimensions and weight for the Phaeton (approx. 2.1–2.3 tons, depending on the engine). The Jbeam structure has been re-fitted to the body—nothing "explodes" upon spawning, and body panels do not shake or fall off.
- Functional doors, hood, and trunk (consistent with vanilla vehicle standards).
- Refined bodywork, including a new fuel filler door, redesigned door handles, grille, fog lights, and side mirrors.
- Chrome trim, black pillar appliqués, and panel gaps styled after vanilla game assets. Headlights and taillights now feature rear housings; the hood includes sound insulation, and the sunroof features a proper frame.
Engines and Drivetrain
- Authentic Phaeton engine lineup with factory-accurate power and torque figures: 3.0/3.2/3.6 VR6, 3.0 V6 TDI, 4.2 V8, 5.0 V10 TDI, and 6.0 W12.
- Correct transmission options: ZF 5HP / 6HP automatics and a 6-speed manual. Equipped with the 4Motion all-wheel-drive system; the vehicle tracks straight without pulling to either side. 0–100 km/h acceleration times are tuned to match official manufacturer specifications.
- Tuning: Turbo and supercharger kits, racing ECUs, anti-lag (activated via the 'K' key), two-step, and exhaust backfire/pops on high-performance versions.
- W12 engine note featuring a deep, bass-heavy tone, with a muffled sound profile inside the cabin.
Chassis and Brakes
- Camber and toe settings follow factory specifications; suspension components are stock (vanilla).
- Brakes: Standard, sport, and carbon-ceramic options available, with selectable caliper colors.
- Authentic 18-inch Phaeton wheels.
Lighting
- Updated headlights and taillights with full illumination: DRLs, amber turn signals, red brake lights, and reverse lights.
Interior
- Instrument clusters tailored to each engine type: gasoline (260/320 km/h scales), diesel, and a US-spec version (in mph). Needles track accurately across the scales.
- Functional central display showing gear, speed, mileage, time, and outside temperature.
- New leather-wrapped steering wheel (matching the ETK 800 style), along with a steering column shroud and functional stalks (turn signals move).
- The ignition key rotates when the engine starts. The headlight control dial physically turns when the lights are switched on, and the symbols on it are illuminated.
- Automatic transmission shifter with an authentic gate pattern; manual transmission option with an H-pattern shifter; redesigned climate control and center console panels.
- Leather upholstery with a texture matching the ETK 800, wood trim inserts, and headrest-mounted screens.
