Autobello Piccolina

Oh yeah forgot about the X1/9.

 

I'm suprised that the Autobello has a flat-4 Engine. Since I thought it was based on the Fiat 500 (the original) before release, I was only expecting it to have a inline-2 engine.

 

Well they never make direct copies of real life cars. Instead, they usually mix up themes and cues from various vehicles in an attempt to recreate an archetype, not a specific model.

Also, the italian part of the inspiration is likely closer to the larger FIAT 600, which was powered by a water-cooled I4.

 

If I knew how to use blender...

I think a nice idea would be making a mod based on a Seat 600, so the Piccolina turns into "Saeta Seiscientos" with new engines, little body changes... Even adding a fictional context (similar to the 50's Seat start, including the politic situation and those kind of things)

A quick edit

 

Why I got engine locked up with no cylinder wall damage, no block damage and slightly oil damage? all piston rings, head gasket and conrod are ok.

 

nice

 

I'd like to see a "Corriera Autobello", like this, because the actual buses are too big for Italy map.

 

Are you supposed to be able to take off the engine cradle on the Piccolina? Nothing is holding it up afterwards yet engine stays in place

 

I don't think the engine cradle is holding the engine in place. I think the engine is mounted just like in a VW Beetle where it's just attached to the transmission which is then attached to the car.

 

They're nothing alike.

 

maby a new future configuration

 

It's missing a Nadox1 og picture.

 

No. Just no.

 

The Compressor ( or Turbine, depends on what would be the intended rotation ) of the turbocharger on the Piccolina seems to be opposite to what it should be

 

I'm hoping in the future we can get a colorable roof for the Piccolina...

 

Yeah, if one check out those buggies etc IRL they look bit funny with engine sticking out and hanging in nothingness.

 

I noticed that if the turbo is damaged eg. intake or exhaust pipes broken or the turbo missing all together it will still provide boost to the engine.
not sure if that is a bug or if damage like that is not implemented yet.

 

What about an engine swap from a "Dorsche" 356?

 

its still not out? its been months
