Lotus Evija - Rattler V8 Engine Tune

Lotus Evija - Rattler V8 Engine Tune

A small tuning patch for the Lotus Evija vehicle mod. Two changes:

• []Engine audio swap — borrows the Thorton Galena "Rattler" audio bank (the rusty old car from the Nomad lifepath intro). That bank's authored sound profile happens to sound like a flat-plane V8, which pairs well with the Evija's silhouette much better than the stock Caliburn whine.[/]

  []Extended rev range — global redline lifted from 9000 → 13500 RPM (+50%). Every gear's upshift point scaled to match. Idle stays at vanilla 700 RPM.[/]

  []V8-style shift drops — adds an Authentic Shift profile with a custom per-gear curve so each upshift drops ~3200 RPM (instead of the default ~700-1000 RPM that the Evija's tight Caliburn-inherited gearing produces with stock Authentic Shift).[/]

Requirements

• []ArchiveXL[/]

  []TweakXL[/]

  []Cyber Engine Tweaks[/]

  []Lotus Evija by MAXSA5 — the base vehicle mod (tested against v1. 5. 0)[/]

  []Authentic Shift by imbamakaber — required for both the audio swap and the shift curve [/]

  Installation

  Mod Organizer 2 (recommended):

  • []Install the Lotus Evija mod first, then Authentic Shift, then this patch.[/]

    []This patch must sit higher in priority than the Lotus Evija mod (so its lotus_evija.yaml override wins the conflict). MO2 will flag the conflict in the Conflicts tab — confirm this mod is winning.[/]

    Vortex / manual:

    Extract the zip to your Cyberpunk 2077 install root (the folder containing bin\ and r6\). Allow it to overwrite lotus_evija.yaml.

    What's in the zip

    r6\tweaks\lotus_evija\lotus_evija.yaml                                          (overwrites the Lotus Evija mod's tuning file)

    bin\x64\plugins\cyber_engine_tweaks\mods\Authentic Shift\Vehicle.lotus_evija.lua (new Authentic Shift profile)

    Tuning notes / how to customize

    The shift behavior is fully driven by the per-gear min values in Vehicle.lotus_evija.lua:

    []Lower min = bigger drop on upshift, more aggressive shift feel.[/]

    []Higher min = tighter ratios, racing-style close-gear feel.[/]
