Giorgetto Giugiaro style 70's sportscar (Download)

Pretty much every update so far has made the previous cars incompatible anyway, so there’s not much harm in adding it if it works with the current version of the game. Also, its doubtful that anyone was expecting a mod to be compatible with the next update anyway

Well, I do not think the mods will be incompatible. Only saves won’t work. I mean, the mods do work in the beta build.

In that case, I’ll have a preliminary version ready tomorrow. :slight_smile:

Body models haven’t changed in ages, so that shouldn’t be a problem update wise.

woot cant wait to see it!

It has to be reskinned, so it may take another day.

The suspense of jumping back and forth between this and the Refarri 033 4P (aka Not-Ferrari 330 P4)is killing meeee. There’s literally more excitement from me for these two bodies alone than for the next update.

butbutbut truck bodies next update. lol all jokes aside, i am in the same boat, after nabbing the van body, i’m just in love with player made bodies now, and these two upcoming ones are keepers. :stuck_out_tongue:

I love that there is a community out there who can make all sorts of mods, including 3D models. Why not try to use the inspiration of these designers to make your own designs? :smiley:

gasp another days wait :stuck_out_tongue:

cant wait to see it man the suspense is crazy!

Almost finished now. Just testing it. :slight_smile: I’ve modified the mesh slightly as well, to fit better with the chassis.

The car can now be downloaded. :slight_smile:

Welp, there goes my tournament updating time :stuck_out_tongue:

(Just kidding of course I’ll finish it, I’ve delayed long enough already).

But seriously you are awesome.

Prato Motor Company just found its next venture!

Yay!!!
Such a lovely model and I like the moveable mirror too, nice touch.

I have just one thing to say:



Well actually I’d also like to add that this is probably being a bit greedy, but I wondered how difficult it would be to get morphing on the whole arch as opposed to just the top? M1 procars ran 285 fronts and 325 rears (though that was achieved with bolt-on widebody kit), but altering the bones to do that here caused much ridiculousness :laughing:

Also, unfortunately, could not fit the longitudinal 3453cc i6, but that’s a frequent problem with the i6 and all bodies so that’s no biggie.

Hopefully that will be possible when they make a gearbox that looks like the one used in these cars IRL. Same as is needed to make most older Audis. (Front drive longitudinal)(sp?)

The Esprit was known for its small engine bay IRL.
The biggest engine Lotus could fit was a 3.5 V8 and that used a Renault 21 gearbox, which was terrible. Once Renault stopped making those gearboxes, the Esprit had to be killed off, since the sales were low and no other gearbox would fit in such a tight engine bay.

Edit: Nearly forgot, thank you so much Felgen!

Engine bay is actually quite large on this thing. Albeit, if you sure longitudinal mounting or double-wishbones in the back, you’re not gonna fit anything bigger than like 1.5 litres(for I4’s) or 3.0 litres (V8’s)

But if you use macpherson struts, you can fit 3+ litre I6’s and 6+ litre V8’s according to what I saw when I was in the designer. Just gotta choose what matters more to you, POWAAAAAH or double wishbones.

Personally I chose POWAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
