Alpha 1961 Devrim Automobile v2.0 (Ellisbury Update) 1.0

A replica of the Devrim Automobile from Turkey, remade in Automation following the Ellisbury Update

  1. TheBlueDragonite
    Hello everyone! About 3 years ago, I made my first Devrim Automobile replica, which is the first ever automobile designed and produced in Turkey but it was never able to be put in mass production. This is an improvement over my first few mods. I tried to replicate its design and looks as close to the real thing as my skills allowed me to, and I had to take some liberties in the interior in favor of function over form. However I am pretty pleased with the current outcome. It has been remade from scratch using the same body following the new Ellisbury update. It also has a functional steering wheel fixture now! The Automation specs (compared with IRL specs in certain areas) can be found below. You can also find the history of the model in real life explained in detail.

    Devrim (meaning Revolution in Turkish) was the first ever automobile designed and produced in Turkey. On 15 May 1961, the Otomotiv Endüstri Kongresi (Automotive Industry Congress) was opened by President Cemal Gürsel. After the congress, Gürsel issued a top secret order to build a prototype engine and car meeting the requirements of the country. He issued 24 engineers, working in various companies, to build a car fully designed and produced in Turkey. It was to be demonstrated during the Republic Day celebrations on October 29, 1961. Within an extremely tight schedule, the engineers managed to make four prototypes of the automobile, one was black and the others were cream coloured. None of the cars had gasoline in them, as a safety precaution, and the cars were filled with little fuel, only for maneuvering. President Cemal Gürsel got into the black car before it was refuelled for the ceremonial ride, and after driving a hundred meters the vehicle came to a halt. Then the President got off from the black car and got onto the cream colored car at the back (which had been filled up earlier) and went to Anıtkabir with it. The newspaper headlines in the following day were, "Devrim went 100 meters and broke down." The car became the subject of jokes for many years. Devrim was never mass-produced, possibly because the cars were crafted prototypes and the production process was not well-documented, with only a few technical drawings remaining from the production phase.

    I hope you enjoy this mod, made sure to give me a like if you do, I am also open to suggestions and criticisms about how I can better improve this mod so feel free to leave a comment. Hope you have a good day/night!
