Below you can find official interesting curiosities related to this model and version. Tab "curiosities" has been additionaly expaned by few segments, thanks to that you can find specific information easier. Additionally, unlike the old site, some curiosities may have pictures showcasing it.

* Curiosities for each models have been written from scratch and there are a lot more of them than on old mods.darewnoo.pl


Below this tab there is another one - a complete work process on this model. This might be actual or archival (depending on information: "Model finished", "Work in progress..."). A table with description of work done was divided into more categories. Thanks to that there is no more chaos like on old, violet mods.darewnoo.pl. Both curiosities and work progress are related to the first model from GTA IV.

Things related to www.mods.darewnoo.pl


• This model started “the prototype era” from 2012, even though Bucrane should initially start it.

Changes in content of the final folder compared to the previous models

-

Testers and authors of the screenshots


• The testers and the authors of the screenshots were: matizstyle, Valkir.

Things that were planned, but not added

• During the work on the previous model (Lublin 3), the Shiraz was never planned due to lack of proper pictures of the front, side and rear of the car. Few weeks after Lublin was finished, the required pictures were found in a car magazine from 1997 (see first pic),

• Model was supposed to have lights on the rear plate (see second pic),

• At first, the reverse lights should be placed where the exhaust is,

• The inside of boot should be textured, but a single colour remained,

• The front indicators were supposed to have a single colour (see third pic), but a few days before release, it was replaced with a texture based on a picture.

Things never planned, but added


-

Random parts

• Since this is a prototype, the car has only one random part.

Costs


• Model was co-financed by sponsors.

Mistakes and bugs in model

• Textures are too dark and in low quality,

• The engine under the bonnet is not original (due to no pictures),

• Incorrect shape of the foglights,

• Incorrect shape of the rear of the car.

Curiosities related to the working progress of the model


• The work on this model took place from October 10 to November 8, 2012 (with breaks).

Information about number plates

• The model does not have the polish number plate to emphasize it as a prototype. The font on the plate is original, just like the real prototype had.

Base model


• It was a base model, but no other version was made based on it.

Differences to other subversion of the simillar model

-

Original dimensions


• Model was based on original dimensions (5007 x 1446 x 1873 mm).

Parts and textures prepared by darewnoo

Other curiosities


• A screenshot from mods.darewnoo.pl taken at 12.10.2012 is shown on the computers (see first pic),

• The satnav screen is a real picture from the prototype (see second pic),

• The model has 31 stripes in the middle of the grille – just like the real prototype (see third pic),

• It is the first Shiraz for GTA, as well as the first 3D model of it publicly available,

• It was only one goal with making this prototype – it should have looked like original (except of the body colours),

• The model was based on just 15 pictures of exterior and just 2 pictures of interior of the original prototype, where one cockpit picture had a resolution of just 314x192 (see fourth pic) – because of that, the cockpit in our model has a very few details.,

• The model was also made in another version – with a single, static body colour, but that version was not published.,

• The V8 engine of this model was later used as a tuning part in Daewoo Joyster conversion for GTA V, where it was modified to a V6 engine,

• For the purposes of this model, I made a blueprint for the front, rear as well as the interior of Shiraz (see fifth pic),

• The engine texture in this model is actually a modified picture of the stock Citroen V6 engine, mixed with Daewoo 2.0 engine.
