What this mod does
The Elfin T5 is a lightweight Australian sports car built between 2008 and 2012, the «entry-level» model that followed the brand’s MS8 Streamliner. fillman86 brings it to BeamNG.drive with an unusual backstory: he contacted Elfin’s current owners (Young Timers Garage), drove to Melbourne and scanned the only road-registered T5 they keep, with permission given on camera.
What’s included
It’s a complete vehicle on the official BeamNG repository, tagged as a car, with 63,202 downloads, 28,311 subscriptions and a 4.83 out of 5 rating from 30 votes.

Version and compatibility
Version 1.16 was released on November 3, 2026 and the author titles it «update for v0.4», meaning an update for the game’s 0.40 branch. He doesn’t state an exact minimum version. The .zip weighs 145.8 MB and needs no other mods.
Known issues
