• Transmission: Manual/Automatic/Sequential/CVT/DCT
• Induction: NA/Turbo/SC (with optional N2O)

How It Works

1. getDetails({model, config}) loads model and config data from core_vehicles.
2. Builds specification groups based on metric/imperial settings.
3. Adds icon tags, paint data, general specs, and source tags.
4. Special handling for settings/default.pc (legacy config).
5. Returns a complete details object for the UI panel.

Lua Examples

local specs = require('/lua/ge/extensions/ui/vehicleSelector/vehicleSpecifications')

-- Get full details
local details = specs.getDetails({model = "pickup", config = "base"})
print(details.headerTitle)  -- "D-Series Base"

-- Format a power value
local formatted = specs.valueToUnit.power(320)  -- "320 PS" or "316 hp"

-- Get icon tags
local tags = specs.addIconTags(modelDetails, configDetails)
-- → {{icon = "RWD", label = "Drivetrain: Rear Wheel Drive"}, ...}
