Fun & unique facts about... Autobello Piccolina

Hello and welcome, to what is hopefully a fun series of threads about the BeamNG vehicles & their unique traits which makes them stand out from other in-game cars!
Depending on the community reception, there will be more threads like this, especially for upcoming vehicles.​

Here is some fun & unique facts about the Piccolina:

• First fact is that despite being the second boxer engine added to the game (Hirochi SBR4 being the first), it is the first one to not only be aircooled but also have a blow-through turbo setup:
• 
  
• Other than the Civetta Scintilla, it is the only other vehicle to feature unique doors - suicide doors.:
• 
• Mechanically, both in terms of suspension as well as drivetrain, it is based on the original VW Beetle which was a decision made by the game devs, because a period-correct engine felt too weak/slow
• It was the first car to get market specific lighting, which has resulted in a massive debate in the cars' thread over it
• Only vehicle till now to feature 3 consecutive facelifts, 1957 - 1963, 1964 - 1968 & 1969 - 1973
• First car to get a specialised off-road config (in the form of the Baja), as well as the first to introduce a "cut body":
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Potentially first vehicle to introduce an 'idleRPMRoughness" value to its engine jbeam, which results in the RPM needle noticably bobbing up & down when the engine is idling:
• 
  
• Piccolina is the oldest (in terms of model years) car to introduce torsion beam suspension:
• 
  
• To add to the previous point, it is also the first vehicle in game to add swaybars of distinctive thickness (12mm & 14mm), instead of just calling them "Stock swaybar" or "Sport swaybar":
• 
  
• It is also the first & only car to let you choose between a front or rear-mounted oil cooler:
• 
  
• Possibly due to an oversight, it does not feature an option to equip engine mounts, despite all other vehicles being able to do so:
•
