ETK J-Series (1976-1985) In the mid-1970s, ETK faced financial struggles and needed a breakthrough to stay afloat. To turn things around, they launched the J-Series project—a car designed to combine elegance, reliability, and performance. Every detail of the J-Series was carefully planned, aiming not only to create a great vehicle but to restore ETK’s reputation and finances. Released in 1976, the J-Series became a symbol of ETK’s resilience. Its durability, timeless design, and powerful engines earned it respect worldwide, from bustling cities to remote countryside roads. The car’s success helped ETK recover and cement its position in the automotive world. Production of the J-Series ended in 1985, making way for the ETK I-Series, which carried on its legacy with modern innovations while honoring the spirit of the iconic J-Series.
I am only making the EUDM version since its an European Car, the USDM might be implemented in a future Update, or if I am lucky, someone will make it a mod.
This looks incredible! I see a estate version of this car almost every day, so I have to ask, if there will be other bodystyles, like coupe and estate? Anyways, fantastic work!
I dont think so. the author is probably working on the Roth Alpha. and is'nt focusing on that anymore. it hasn't been updated since 2021. I love these lore-friendly Mercedes-Benz's! super nice!
That sounds good! When this mod here and the update of the etk w are out, there would look perfect together!
I am planning to make it, but I still haven't started it. I am trying to finish the base and Luxe model, after that I will make more configs and variations like a sports version (planning to make it look like a 190 EVO), etc... --- Post updated --- I really love the W123, and I always wanted to see one on BeamNG, real mod or a Lore Friendly mod, well at the end I am the one who is making it ! --- Post updated --- Yes they are painted since they are not finished and still bugged. --- Post updated --- The ETK J is different from the W since the J-Series is inspired from the W123, but the ETK W is inspired from the W124 which came years after the W123.
looks nice, one thing that bugs me is the headlights that dont really look the best. would you be making the later more square styled headlights as an option? Like in this photo
Yes I am, I am planning to add those too, because the round looking headlights were made for the Phase 1 and 2 models, The phase 3 got those square headlights. And I am trying to make this mod as complete as possible.
I removed them for the photos since they are bugged. --- Post updated --- The progress is a bit slow for the moment with school and life, but I can say that the jbeam is finished, I am still implementing new parts, to make it really customisable and trying to make some luxurious Parts, I tried making a new engine, but its hard and put it on hold, I will soon make new front bumper, new trims and maybe a new hood (with the callender sticked to it).
