Bruckell LeGran

'A terrible, abysmal, horrible car. A favorite among senile grandparents.'
-Gabester

Originating from the game BeamNG.Drive, the Bruckell LeGran is a midsized, predominantly front wheel drive platform of either a sedan or a stationwagon offered by Bruckell, a premium car manufacturer and a direct competitor to Gavril in the passenger vehicle market, and the LeGran was easily its prime flagship. One of those selling points in particular came from its vast array of models that you could choose from. Did you need a basic commuter from point A to B? There was a LeGran for that. Did you need a comfortable roadtripper for the whole family? There was a LeGran for that. Did you need a car that could go off the beaten trail and go where no other vehicle has ever been? There was, believe it or not, a LeGran for that.

The LeGran had released in 1984 with massive success, becoming the best selling American-made car of the 1980s, even continuing production into the early 90s with a modernised refresh in 1989. Critics had praised it for being such a comfortable car at an affordable price, but it wasn't without its controversies. One of the biggest issues with the car was its laughably poor performance given its engine selections, often outmatched by other smaller, more efficient engines produced by their competitors. Not to mention the mushy suspension, questionable quality control, and just an overall stench of dread and misfortune the older the car became. Regardless of all these nitpicks though, it was a good car on paper, and it was an even better car on the market.


Regulier: The absolute bare bones model that you could get. This was an offering to those that really didn't mind a pathetically slow riding experience given the 2.2L inline 4 it was cursed with, but it was still a fairly reasonable pick for day-to-day city driving, while still offering a standard A/C and cassette player. In fact, this thing was so slow, it initially wasn't even offered as a wagon model since when fully loaded it would actually be classified as a hazard on the road, so it only got offered one once it received its facelift.

S: LeGran's standard trim level, and by far the most sold model. It was also the most unremarkable, offering either a slightly more powerful 2.5L inline 4, or a 3.3L V6 for those who actually wanted a bearable amount of power to go alongside their considerably comfortable ride. It was the car to go for when you didn't want to look cheap, but you really were anyway.

SE: This is where the LeGran starts to take centre stage as a premium automobile for the American audience. Old person luxury was prevalent in almost all facets of its pre-facelift models, but this design philosophy took an entirely different approach afterwards, focusing on a more 'grand touring' design. While it was still offering the 2.5L engine for the older folks, the V6 was upgraded to a 3.8L equivalent, the largest engine option the LeGran had for the best performance and ride quality.


Luxe: The absolute pinnacle of Bruckell luxury, confined in a neat but gorgeous package. Sedan models were equipped with sleek whitewall tyres, a landau top cover, a red leather interior, and Luxe labelling all over. The stationwagon model however, was its flagship, boasting the name 'Grandoise' and offering an elegant (but fake) wood trim stretched across the vehicle. If you need to travel in style, this was your best pick.

Sport S: For the first generation of the LeGran, their performance offering had to have been the biggest laughingstock to bear the name 'Sport' in their name. It was little more than just their regular lineup with a noisier muffler and a little spoiler to boot. The model in particular had saw such controversy that the whole LeGran name had been put under flak after a particular automotive magazine had claimed they put their I4 Sport S head-to-head with a midtrim Ibishu Covet for a 0-60 mph run, and the Covet managed to beat it with a considerable gap between the two. That didn't stop it selling decently well, but sales definitely took a considerable dip after that issue released.

SE Towing Package For the second generation of the LeGran, the SE sedan model was also offered with a special 'towing package' alongside their regular roster, which not just brought back the nice landau top cover from the Luxe, but it also gave it a specially tuned 3.8L V6 engine capable of towing small to medium sized trailers without too much of an issue, so long as you stay on a paved road that is.

Sport SE: Following after the disastrous turmoil that was the Sport S, Bruckell attempted to rectify the prior issue with the all-new, Sport SE labelling. This time, both the I4 and V6 options were given some beefy superchargers and some more performance-related parts to distinguish it better, which definitely helped its case tenfold. This was further amplified by the V6 offering having standard AWD, giving it improved handling and overall performance on the roads. Needless to say though, the damage from their prior generation was already done, so sales pretty much dwindled for this performance model, which was a shame since it was nearly capable of going toe-to-toe with ETK's performance division.

Campagne: A very experimental model, offered mostly to show that the LeGran wasn't just a boring person car. This particular model had an emphasis on cross-country backroads travel, featuring fat all-terrain tyres and a locking AWD system paired on its stationwagon body, putting it on par with comparable offroaders without weighing anywhere near as much as them. It saw the least number of sales of any LeGran model offered, but it was a hidden treasure amongst the sea of mediocrity.


Taxi Package: By far the most successful of all the fleet models, the taxi retrofit was the most befitting for the LeGran, tuned specially for the start and stop city traffic this offering would spend 90% of its driving life on. It was relatively durable, compact, and just luxurious enough to be better than a Nyala of the same calibre.

Police Package: A short-lived model, often cited by police stations and even officers as being a 'slow piece of garbage' given its 3.3L V6 barely getting it anywhere worthwhile. In the end, sales barely broke even given its extensive modifications for the demanding police applications, but instead they got stuck with supervising parking infractions and acting as a disposable stunt car for action movies.

Detective Special: Bruckell's second attempt to cater for law enforcements, the Detective Special was merely just an unmarked police model, but it secretly boasted a more powerful V6 to actually get to places relatively quickly while remaining just inconspicuous enough for people to merely bat their eyes at the sight of it.

Fire Chief Special: A model mostly derived from the Campagne from before, this LeGran was intended as a rapid response fire vehicle for hard to reach places, great for rural forest fires or search and rescue operations far off the beaten trail.
