DarkCodes studio shipped the Gearbox Update in October 2025. The headline addition is the Gearbox Pro — a 5-gear gearbox upgrade — and the V8 Van Engine, which slots into the Chevrolet Sports Van under the battery inside the hood.
Verified 0–60 / 0–100 anchors (gamestratwiki.com): Lada + Vaz Engine + Normal gearbox = 12 sec 0–60; Lada + Vaz Engine + Gearbox Pro = ~8 sec 0–60, 200 km/h top. Van + V8 Van Engine + Normal = ~33 sec 0–100, 180–190 km/h top; Van + V8 Van Engine + Pro = ~20 sec 0–100, 225 km/h top.
Where to find them: the Gearbox Pro in the Lada is in the engine compartment; in the Van it sits under the battery inside the hood. Both are world-spawn loot, not part of the starter garage loadout.
The engine-comparison tool surfaces the Gearbox Pro and Tire Big modifiers as 1.00 / 0.85 / 1.10 multipliers in the effective top-speed formula. Use it to plan whether the 50 R$ Stamina Plus+ gamepass is worth pairing with the Gearbox Pro on your main build.
