i’m aware, in the campaign mode i usually just cheapen a car out until it starts to sell again, as i have usually made quite a lot by the time giant stockpiles start to form

#Grand Riviera
While the G-series started being designed, another project also started. It was for Galts first Family Sedan. it was initially meant to launch alongside the G-series, however, they could not afford a second production line immediately. during this time, a few refinements had been made, including the introduction of a third trim, the UT. As for the car itself, it introduced the trim naming system still used by Galt to this day, with the R being the base model, and the PR being one of the earliest V8 family Sedans. the R features a 3.7L 226 I6 based on the 4.1L 250 I6 used in the G-series, and the PR features a 4.1L 249CI V8 in the “Galt Small Block” Family. the added UT trim was effectively just a PR sedan with the body modified to have a bed and stiffer rear springs, which makes a majority of parts compatible between these two trims. As a result of these, galt sold about 650,000 of the Grand Riviera Sedan, with a common sales pitch being "The engines are from the trucks."The exact sales figure of the R and PR are unknown, however the UT has been estimated to only have 4,000 units produced before Galt realized they were just competing against their own G-series, so as a result, all UT’s are 1449 model year only, and this rarity makes them the most sought after version, with ones in rough condition fetching up to $15,000+ and a numbers matching preserved model has fetched upwards of $98,000. Restored models Go for closer to just $49,000. there is an estimated 2,800 of these UT’s left, and an estimated 300 are in fields rotting away. Regardless though, the success of the Grand Riviera gave Galt enough capital, to secure themselves a place in the world market, and making them a long-lasting stable company.

#Kyaria
1950, the beginning of a new decade. this new Decade brings with it a new vehicle from Galt, this time, a van. it’s not a traditional cargo van, but instead, features an inline four and a full passenger variation. It even features some decent fuel economy for the time. among other things, the Van also brings with it an updated engine naming code, with details being found below. As for the van, there are three main versions, the Cargo, the FamUt (short for Family Utility) and the Bus. While the FamUt and the Bus all had only one version, the Cargo had three. there was the standard version, which shared it’s engine and most other components with the FamUt and the Bus. after that you had an optional engine upgrade to go to a 2 barrel carb, vans that received this upgrade were dubbed the Cargo+. and the final version was a version made for the European market, using a drastically downsized engine to meet tax code, but also featured two carbs. However, it required premium leaded fuel to help compensate for the reduced displacement. as for the FamUt, it was mostly the same as the standard cargo, to the exception of being galt’s first vehicle to be sold with an Automatic Transmission. As for the Bus, it was basically a standard Cargo but with seats and windows. The first generation Kyaria was in production a total of 6 years, ending in 1956

#Litester
in 1951, Galt had an ambitious idea. Get into the European market. To do this, they decided a light, 2 seater cheap roadster was the best plan. As a result,the Galt Litester was born. the R variant is the second time the I3 family from the first vehicle was used in production. the I3 makes 70 horsepower yet is still capable of easily propelling the light body to 100+ miles per hour, whilst still maintaining 30 MPG (manual transmission). and to not forget about the home market, Galt had introduced another 2 speed automatic for use in the base variant, which went on to be one of the cheapest automatic vehicles of the early 1950’s. With the establishment of Galt’s European HQ, They were able to more easily sell cars over there, and were able to implement their own dealership network, allowing the car t0o be sold in mass quantities in Europe. Demand for the car was so great, that the demand for it kept it in production until 1960, and it had became Galt’s first vehicle to reach 1 million total worldwide sales, with the popularity of them still being here today, with companies making replica’s still, and even some automotive clubs about just them. Due to how many were made, combined with the modern day replica’s, they are still pretty easy to come by cheaply. a used replica model could cost someone only $2,500 and a beat on original costing only about $4,000, which results in some being turned into drift missiles. a well preserved original however, can cost around $12,000, with PR’s costing a little bit more. Please note, the PR only came in Manual.

1975-1978 G-series
1975, Galt introduces a new truck out to the masses, a replacement to the old one on a 15 year old platform, receiving only a cosmetic facelift in that time period. The new model does still come with the old families, but they are new variants, utilizing stronger internals to keep them reliable. This model year sees four versions, the 1000, 1500, 2500, and the 3500.
1500
The 1500 receives an updated version of the standard 4.1L inline six. due to clearance issues caused by the length of the inline six, 4X4 is not offered on the 1500 at launch. Despite this, it is offered with a 4 speed automatic or a 5 speed manual (pictured).
ok i had a guest appear, and i have to go tend to them, so i’ll leave this here, but i’ll post the rest of it later and what is up with the giant space between the gif and the text?

1975 G-series (cont.)
sorry for the long delay, but here is the rest of the '75 lineup, including the 1000F, the 2500, and the 3500.
2500
The 2500 G-series comes with the latest version of the Galt small block V8. To handle the added power from the V8, a heavy duty 3 speed automatic transmission was developed, but a 5 speed manual gearbox will remain standard. The 2500 and 3500 will also receive an exclusive color option called Construction Orange. Unlike the 1500, 4X4 will be an option at launch. Due to this, 1975 has higher sales of the 2500 in the northern US and Canada versus the southern US. (1975 automatic 4X4 in Construction Orange shown below)
3500
The 3500 comes with a continuation of the Galt big block engine family, being slightly downsized to just 7.5L of displacement. However, it is still pretty powerful coming in at 228 Horsepower and 341 foot-pounds of torque. 4X4 is also a launch option on the 3500, however there is no automatic option, only a 5 speed heavy duty manual transmission. (1975 RWD model represented below)
1000F
the 1000F was sort of a failed experiment, it was Galt’s attempt at trying to popularize the full size pickup truck over in Europe. As a result, it was only ever sold over in Europe. The truck itself was powered by Galt’s first ever turbocharged engine, a 2.5L inline 4 from the freshly designed “I4 family 1” family. The engine produced 122 horsepower and 181 foot pounds of torque, so it wasn’t really the most capable thing out there, though it was close to the 192 foot-pounds found in the 1975 1500. The 1000 also only came with 4X4. The 1000 also scored only 15 combined US MPG, which had also made it unpopular. It was only produced for the 1975 and 1976 model years selling only 5000 in Europe, mostly to fleet customers. It has received a surge of popularity in modern times though as being the cheapest full size truck to keep running in europe, making them actively sought after, though it is estimated that there are only two left in showroom condition, one in the Galt private archives and another in an automotive museum in Germany. Most of the ones that can be located have often been heavily abused from years of work.

1976 G1500
America’s Bicentennial year, 1976, sees a revised 1500 model to address concerns and problems presented in the 1st generation. The first issue was a lack of 4X4 caused by the long engine. To fix this, Galt had introduced a whole new 4.2 liter V6 engine family called the “Hexapush V6” This solved the issues with the clearance, allowing 4X4 to be added. (1976 G1500 4x4 shown below)
By the way, due to the Unreal update coming closer, and I have no clue when it will go live, I may spam some cars in that I have completed and just never uploaded yet.

#Cayuga
1986, Chrysler buys out AMC, including their profitable Jeep lineup, which only two years ago has unveiled the XJ Cherokee, and It had proven to be a success. to cash in on that market, Galt had created the Cayuga SUV to compete directly with the Cherokee. It was first unveiled in and sold in 1986, to hopefully steal some market share from Chrysler. The Cayuga from there leads on a long lifetime, going through many changes while retaining the same platform. And like the XJ Cherokee, it is offered as a 2 door SUV, a 4 door SUV, and a regular cab truck, and yes, across all trims. The Cayuga is also an internationally sold Vehicle, receiving whatever changes are necessary to comply with local regulations. (See photo’s for example of a JDM Tail light assembly for an example of changes.) For the home market of the US, the carburetor was dropped fairly quickly into the 1987 model year due to tightening restrictions and slow sales. However, Overseas models, such as ones sold in Primarily 3rd world and developing countries, had kept them for much longer due to higher sales, and select countries getting 4X4 as an option without requiring EFI as a result.
(Photo’s from R trim)
#R (base trim)
The Basic R has only two options available on it aside from color, EFI and 4X4. The standard engine is a 2.5L Carbureted 4 cylinder.
As for 4X4, it gets bundled with the EFI 4X4 for emissions reasons, making it impossible to get a factory 4X4 with the carb, however, it is possible to get EFI on the 2X4
As for the rest of the vehicle, only a Manual transmission is offered in this trim level. The interior is kept simple, with only a basic radio being included. The diffs are open in both 2 and 4 wheel drive models.

The history of Galt Automotive is quite long, especially after your first attempt at a reboot, but why isn’t the Communitasia here? Also, it would be great to see the company’s lineup remade yet again in the UE4 version.
The Communitasia was part of the old Galt before the reboot, I have yet to work it back into the story of the new one, though hopefully I can after everything gets ported over 
#Cayuga (Continued)
Here are a few more trims of the Cayuga that were available in 1986
#PR
The PR is much like the R, to the exception of having a lot more options. Now a fuel Injected V6 is made as the standard power plant, along with an automatic transmission being optional. It is still possible to get the same bare bones interior with simple radio, though more options are also available on the interior.
(Pictures and specifications from PR V6 automatic 4 door with basic interior and entertainment packages)
#341SP
The 341SP was a sports version of the Cayuga, named so by it’s 341CI (5.6L) V8. Other changes made to it involve a full-time AWD system, the entertainment system, and a full sport interior. only 500 of them are produced in 1986 as the “Launch year special edition” however demand has them become a regularly available model starting in 1987 with the only changes being removal of a few “Limited Edition” badges dotted around the interior. It then stays relatively unchanged, until getting updated with the rest of the trims, even when it gets superseded. It is an option in most industrialized nations, however most sales are in North American markets, and the original 500 were exclusive to North America.
(Specifications from 1986 341SP Truck, performance differs with SUV Body)
More trims to come!
EDIT: I just noticed the game was bugged and called the V8 a V6… oh well 
Cayuga 341SP is like GMC Syclone or Ram SRT10. Pointless performance barges with massive power and trunk capacity.
I like it!
And trust me, there’s plans for even more performance, the 341 is only the small block V8
#Cayuga (Still continued)
Now lets have some of the European trims shall we? The engines and facelift are thanks to Centro Stile Betta. Betta, being a good Corporate partner with Galt, was asked to handle the European trims for the Cayuga, as well as some of the production in their European factories. for 1986, they started out with 3 trims, the Euro Base (R) the Euro StepUp (PR) and the EuroSport (55SP) with each one receiving a Betta designed and built engine and transmission, as well as a minor facelift on each trim. As with the rest of the family, all trims are available in 2 door SUV, 4 door SUV, and regular cab truck, however, due to the low popularity of trucks in Europe, The only way to get a truck model is to put it on order from a Dealership, and from there a Rolling Chassis truck gets imported from Galt’s American Factory, then fitted at the Betta plant with everything else required to finalize it for sale. Due to this, the trucks are a bit more expensive, as well as being much rarer.
#R
A photograph of the Euro spec R Trim
The R is the European base model. It is similar in many ways to the American Market R, such as having mostly the same interior, to the exception of a Radio not being standard equipment. The differences start with the front though, where the new, somewhat sleeker, design can be seen. Under the hood though is a completely different beast to the American model, whereas the American base engine made 76HP out of a carbuereted 2.5L, the European spec model receives a 1.9L twin cam producing 110 horsepower. That power is then routed through a 5 speed Manual transmission to either the rear, or all 4 wheels (Depending if 2X4 or 4X4). Specs below are of the 2 door 2X4.
#PR
Photo is of the PR Minor Facelift.
The Euro spec PR is more similar to the Euro R than it is the US PR. It uses the same engine family, and starts with the same basic options, including the radio still being optional. However, the engine variant itself is different, it’s Turbocharged producing 160 horsepower to the wheels out of the 1.9L twin cam. 4 door 2X4 specs shown below
#55SP
The 55SP is meant to be Europe’s answer to the 341SP, however, it ends up exceeding it. it is powered by a rather crazy engine, a 5.5 liter Quad cam Twin Turbo V8 producing 400 horsepower, while being coupled to an AWD System. it only has a manual transmission available, but is still offered in the standard 3 body styles, with the 55SP Truck being the rarest trim made, with an estimated 438 orders, and of these, the Majority were American Imports until the 25 year law was implemented shortly after Production started, leaving just a little over 100 in Europe. Regardless, all 3 versions seemed pretty popular stateside, with fans wanting a US Sold version ever since the implementation of the import law. However, there is a Company based out of Florida that offers to do the conversion. 2 door SUV specs below.
Well there are still more trims on the way for this thing surprisingly, just getting the Betta made Euro spec models out of the way now. I will leave a question, would you guys prefer a 341SP, or a 55SP?
And also a Teaser for whenever I make the next trims:

You know exactly what Im waiting for to be updated… Now chop chop. Communism doesn’t build itself.

Ok, I think I can give a bit of a Teaser after working on it in Valve time. I don’t have a Finalized design, nor do I know 100% how i’ll integrate it into the New Galt (For now, i’ll just call it a “Concept”) though I have the tech of it done. quite impressive for 1950.
I know it doesn’t show in the specs, But I tried making it rear engined actually, and it went well. and as for oversteer? none of it. even without the use of positive camber
And final price? the answer is Cheap!
Now obviously i have to go and finish up the design before I release it to you guys. but I figured i’d give a teaser as I’d have no clue as to when that will be. and @squidhead nice one there lol

Cayuga 555SP
- There is much going on in the world. the Berlin wall falls. the Tienanmen square protests occur, a Civil war in Angola is stopped by a ceasefire, and much more. For Galt though, it’s the third year of strong Cayuga sales, so to celebrate, they shoehorn in a big engine into the truck/SUV body. a 509 horsepower Naturally Aspirated 9.1L V8 of which the car is named for (9.1L is 555CI). In fact, the engine is so powerful, that the only transmission option that could be engineered on the cheap was to modify a Semi truck Transmission into a standard 4 speed manual. Also, it’s 0-60 time of 5.1 seconds has it rivaling Ferarri’s, and it also earns it the title “Fastest Family SUV on the market” along with “worlds fastest truck” it is remarkably made relatively easily on the standard Cayuga production line, with the engine also being a fairly simple thing to make, simply being a highly tuned Big block V8 from the Truck lineup. this combined allows it to sell for only $10,368.25 new in 1989 (that’s only $20,401.94 today!
or $18060 automation money). As a result of supercar performance at such an affordable price, they sell fast. extremely fast. a total of over 24,000 sell in 1989 alone. so much in fact, that 1989 was the only year of sale, as so many sales was hurting Galt’s CAFE score too much. It was still sold in the usual 3/5 door SUV and 2 door truck bodies, though the 5 door SUV was the rarest, making up only about 5,000 units of the sales. The 555Sp still to this day remains one of the most desirable versions of the Cayuga to this day, with prices having been inflated to nearly $100K for ones in excellent condition.
Now to just wait for this body to get into the unreal version of automation for the late 90’s facelifts…

Volta M1
- Galt creates a new sub company to market a lineup of small, cheap, and fun cars starting with the Volta M1. The engine itself was designed to only be 800cc so as to allow for cheap insurance rates and taxes in countries that go off displacement. However just because it’s 800CC doesn’t mean it’s too low on power, it’s still got 70 horsepower, which in the lightweight 1700 pound body partially paneled in aluminum, is more than adequate. the engine itself was designed to run on standard 87 AKI Octane gasoline to allow for the one variant to be sold worldwide. The car itself becomes a near instant hit, with hundreds of thousands of units selling in the first year alone. on the used market in the states though, the 1995 model year is the most sought after, due to being the last year before OBDII was mandated.
(Cpu’s note: by the way, this is the first UE4 car i seriously tried to make well, along with sort of testing how i’d lay it out for on the Forums. Any criticism on that would be greatly appreciated. and yes, I think I did screw up the screenshots a little bit)
I might add more trims later as i get more used to unreal. for now though this is it.

1981 Tetrad
in 1981, Galt comes up with a new car, but it’s more like a concept that was just put into production. it’s a 2nd generation Tetrad, reviving the nameplate from the MKII Communitasia based model in '75. However, it uses body panels made out of Aluminum, but is still body on frame, with the frame itself just being modified from the MKII Communitasia’s frame. Back to the body though, it is a completely unique design for the Tetrad, with some special engineering needed for the Aluminum body panels. As for The drivetrain, it varies based on trim. The base R model is a new 3.7L carbuerated SOHC V6 making a little over 140 horsepower, and is RWD only. The PR though, is a much better beast. It comes with a 5.0L Galt small block V8 with a 4 barrel carb making a little under 190 horsepower. The driveline in this model is quite exotic, being a full and true AWD system, splitting the power equally between the front and rear wheels. This car is also the first in Galts Lineup to feature GMDP (more info below). While sales figures overall were relatively poor, the PR ended up actually being purchased more versus the base model.

Galt Mechanics Diagnostics Port (GMDP)
(note, this post is purely company lore)
Galt Mechanics Diagnostics Port, or GMDP for short, is a monitoring and diagnostics port Galt had designed after finding inspiration in the usefulness of GM’s new ALDL connector outside of the factory. The port itself was first used in 1981 in the 2nd generation Tetrad, and was implemented across all Galt Models by 1983, with a few other manufacturers licensing the tech. The port itself also allows for bidirectional communication over a proprietary parallel interface with speeds of around 2Kbps in the first generation systems. The system has a number of DTC’s for various major issues that throw the check engine light, with the system being adapted in the early 90’s to meet new California Standards, to include issues with the emissions system. The system also can send out precise live data from any equipped sensors (MAF, Engine speed, Turbo Boost, etc) to assist in diagnosis of issues that would not throw a CEL. Galt service centers started to get computers almost immediately, with a consumer level system being made for IBM PC compatibles in '83 consisting of a converter cable and software. GMDP was phased out in the US when the OBDII standard rolled out in '96, and in Europe when eOBD became their standard in 2000. However in nations with no OBD standard, Galt still continues to install the latest gen of GMDP.
