Unturned Vehicle Tuning: Dominate the Roads in 2026
In 2026, vehicle gameplay has evolved from simple transport to a deep, modular system. Thanks to community-standard mods like **Street Tuning** and **Origami Motors**, players can now customize every aspect of their ride, from engine torque to the color of their rims.
🎨 Spray Paint Mechanics
You are no longer stuck with the default color. Using **Spray Paint** cans (found in mechanic shops), you can re-color any vehicle. High-tier servers even support "RGB Hex Codes" for truly unique clan fleets.
Modular Components & Upgrades
The 2026 tuning meta focuses on structural and performance upgrades:
- Bulletproof Tires: Essential for high-pop PvP servers. These tires cannot be popped by small-arms fire, ensuring you don't get stranded during a drive-by.
- Engine Block Tiers: Swap out standard engines for **Supercharged** variants to increase top speed and acceleration. Note that higher performance engines consume fuel 2x faster.
- Armor Plating: Weld metal sheets to your doors and windows to create a "Mobile Bunker." This significantly increases vehicle health but slows down acceleration.
Street Tuning & Hazard Lights
For those into the aesthetic scene, the **Street Tuning Mod** adds:
- Functional Hazard Lights: Pressing a hotkey (default [L]) allows for realistic convoy signals.
- Underglow Neon: Craftable using glowsticks and electronics, adding a cyberpunk aesthetic to nighttime raids.
- Custom Spoilers & Rims: Purely cosmetic, but essential for the "Street King" reputation on community servers.
Technical Configuration: Server Performance
In 2026, high-entity vehicles can cause "Physics Desync." Server owners should optimize their Config.json:
⚠️ Maintenance Tip
Tuned engines take damage faster from collisions. Always carry a **Blowtorch** and at least two **Gas Cans** when embarking on long-distance mountain travel with a high-performance car.
