Autobello Piccolina

I think there’a a chance for around Christmas time. The bulk of the content for the update, Italy and the Piccolina, seems to have been intended for release already before the optimization issues. If the main work to get done is just optimization, combined with the fact that 0.14 was a smaller update; I don’t think 0.15 will take that long.

 

That'd be great.

I probably already said this, but getting the Piccolina out before the year's over would be a great way to make up for the near lack of new vehicles in 2017, since the Hopper was the only one we got last year, and so far the Wentward's all we got this year.

 

I'd like to use this in some 1950-60 police chase with the oldfullsize

 

I’m really wondering if the Autobello will provide any precedents for official vehicles. Although I don’t think this car will likely have multiple official body styles, this is the first official passenger car where I’ve considered it a realistic possibility. It would certainly be nice if that sets a precedent for future content.

I really hope that the release video for future vehicles have a mechanical parts view like the Wentward video did, that was really nice to see included.

 

i got bored.

now i really want a multipla version.

 

oh my...

 

We live in a society

 

I had a similar idea

 

Intristing.... could you do more

 

Usually people wait until car is released to make mod versions

That is actually really good, at least to my eye, it is not pretty, but that just is how Multipla is.

 

I am waiting to see who is the first person to put a Stage 3 Turbo on this car and see what wildness happens!

 

crikey m8s o.0

 

could you do a white top like this?

ok, I am t e r r i b l e at photoshop, but i'd suggest flattening the front, making the 2nd door have a more squared shape, and getting rid of the fat wheel well

 

I Love The Idea, But We Need A MiniVan.

 

Theres the Ibishu Kashira that Rez:ia is working on...search the forums for it, i believe its on the repo as well for download. A new version is (hopefully) coming out soon

 

Well, Autobello is Italian car maker, they probably would not make Nissan minivan. There is not knowing if there will be minivan in game, but if you want to suggest minivan, then you need to post into vehicle suggestion thread:

Italians were actually awfully close to making a Nissan minivan...



Fun fact: the Arna was powered by a boxer engine as well...

 

I could imagine that as an Autobello

 

That is scary

What if they do Nissan / Alfa blend of other Autobello model, also I wonder if there is bit of Japanese car in Piccolina?

Never knew about Arna, you learn something new every day

 

Looks like they are doing the other way 'round with the Piccolina: styling is very italianate, but the flat 4 engine is not.

First italian car to adopt it was the forward-thinking Lancia Flavia. It then became a staple in Alfa Romeo's production in the '70 with the Alfasud, but it was never a mainstream solution among italian manufacturers. FIAT was so conservative at the time that they'd rather have their subsidiary Autobianchi pioneer what later became pretty much a european standard for lower-end vehicles - transverse engine, front wheel drive, with out-of-sump transmission - so I honestly see Autobello more like a beamverse equivalent of Autobianchi, despite the similarities of the Piccolina with the FIAT 600.
