The Gavril Grand Marshal is a full-size four-door, body-on-frame sedan produced by Gavril from 1990 to 1997. It is equipped with a 4.5L V8 engine by default, which outputs 217 horsepower with its standard fuel injectors. It is also available with a 5.5L V8 engine, used in police and performance variants. Like contemporary full-sized sedans, it handles smoothly but slightly unresponsively, and standard models' soft suspension makes for a comfortable ride. The vehicle's ground clearance is also rather low, with anything more than a minor bump having the potential to catch the bumpers, resulting in damage to them. The initial acceleration of the vehicle is slow, but the V8 engine is potent, offering relatively high top speeds. The vehicle also has average levels of crash safety, with the chassis remaining relatively rigid during impacts to keep the general shape of the car, but with plenty of crumple zones to allow absorption of an impact.
Development
“The quintessential American full-size sedan. Body-on-frame construction, a V8 engine, and a heavy duty live axle rear suspension make it more than adequate for police work or taxi service. It’s more suited to PIT maneuvering fleeing cars than winning races, but its V8 does make a decent amount of power. Its handling characteristics are closer to a couch on wheels than a sports car, though.”

The Grand Marshal was first seen in a video on BeamNG's official YouTube channel, uploaded on July 7, 2012.[1] Shortly after, a thread was created made providing details and development screenshots.[2]
During its development, Gabester confirmed that a police variant (on September 21, 2012) and a taxi variant (on January 9, 2013) would be added. On November 28, 2012, he stated that the interior was nearly done,[3] and on June 20, 2013, he stated that he had begun working on police-related parts.[4] The Grand Marshal (including the promised police variant) was released on August 5, 2013 with verison 0.3, the initial public release of the game.
The promised Taxi variant was teased with a development screenshot on June 15, 2016,[5] and was released with the 0.6 update, along with the 5.5L V8 engine and more police parts.[6]
In update 0.17.1, released on August 29, 2019, the Grand Marshal received a complete overhaul. The body and frame were made fully separable, the inner front fender structure was reworked to be more accurate to contemporary full-size sedans, improvements were made to the mesh and JBEAM structure, and several new parts and configurations were added.[7][8]
