This system is known as Flexbody, and has been included since version. Recent development has allowed for static meshes to be deformed according to a skeleton of nodes, much like the system in the game 1nsane.

Simple 2D skins can be made to wrap the vehicle, and can be supplemented with static mesh objects. Vehicle configurations are stored in plain text. If a beam is too stressed, it will deform, thus altering the associated nodes position which ultimately alters the appearance and handling of a vehicle.
