Development
“A terrible, abysmal, horrible car. A favorite among senile grandparents. You want to smash it. I want to smash it. Soon we shall be able to.”
—gabester, Bruckell LeGran, 17 November 2012
The early model of the LeGran was first revealed on November 17, 2012. In the first vehicle poll on the forums, it came fifth, with 26 votes.[1] In the next poll, it did somewhat worse, coming in second-to-last with 14 votes.[2]
On June 6, 2016, Gabester announced that the LeGran would be "going in-game very soon."[3] In September of that same year, he announced that the LeGran was in-game. However, they had run into some problems with the mesh and textures, requiring them to be reworked.[4] A month later, he elaborated on the issues, explaining that they had contracted out the job of finishing the LeGran's mesh, but the contractor took much longer than expected and the result ended up being unusable.[5] The rest of the LeGran's development was completed internally.
On October 5, 2016, Jalkku (who was in charge of redoing the contracted work) posted screenshots of the LeGran's powertrain and engine.[6] The first screenshot of the complete LeGran was posted by Gabester on December 2, 2016.[7]
On December 13, 2016, Gabester promised that the LeGran would be included in the next update.[8] Eight days later, the LeGran was indeed released alongside version 0.8.[9] Coinciding with the vehicle's release was an official trailer video uploaded to BeamNG's official YouTube channel.[10]
The LeGran's proportions were tweaked slightly in the 0.17 update, along with the Ibishu Covet, Miramar, and Pessima.[11]

Trivia
- According to its official slogan,[12] the LeGran was the best-selling vehicle in the United States during its production run.
- Despite being introduced in 1984, the LeGran has a third brake light that is not removable. Third brake lights were only federally mandated on passenger vehicles in the United States beginning in 1986.
