I must say that you have managed to nail the time period very well with the Colombino. I see traces of both Vectra, Laguna, Volvo S/V40 and first gen Saab 9-3 in it, yet it really manages to stand out as a design on its own. Nice!

A Colombino V6 would have been a more practical leftfield alternative to an M3 E46 of the same vintage - even though it would not necessarily have been a better driver’s car.

By the way, the Colombino line is based on the Algernon mod body set (2.7m wheelbase) if I’m not mistaken.

i love the new Colombino! reminds me of a Peugeot and a Saturn. Is it coming to the U.S?

Thanks for commenting friend! The intention was to create a design language with the cars of the time and I think the result is cool, the cars of the late 90’s had a lot of soul!

Correct friend, when I saw that chassis in the steam workshop it was clear to me hahahaha. Now I’m with a Dagel sedan that will be more extreme and will be able to compete against audi / bmw… I’ll upload it soon, thanks for commenting!

I am very glad that you like the car, you can download it for beamng and try it!
If the Colombino will be in Mexico, the USA and Canada, in fact the Wagon 4x4 version is inspired by that market to compete against Subaru and Volvo with their extreme wagons like the XC70 and the Outback


By the way, I am creating new videos for youtube, if you have any car to comapre with Rigel from 90s/00s era, send it to me and I will make a comparison video for youtube!

I do have a car, but Im not a detailer like you, i only get the basics so it is probably terrible… and I was thinking that it would compete against the Outback!

Review Primus Persua

Today we are going to Germany, at the ETK test headquarters, where they have left us the new Primus Persua. A compact with premium aspirations that wants to be crowned as one of the best-selling general cars for the year 2000 in Europe and directly rivals other Rigel vehicles.

The recording of this video has been a lot of fun and many thanks to the Primus company for trusting us and leaving us one of their new models. The model in the video is the top of the range, the Persua Esclusive with a V6 engine.




In summary, the Persua represents a very interesting option in the market, highlighting an elegant design, state-of-the-art equipment and good performance.

We are sure that this new vehicle will captivate car lovers and will become the perfect companion both for the city and for long journeys.

The Primus Persua has, erm… persuaded Rigel to use it as a benchmark for their future lineup, especially their larger cars.

The 1992 Rigel Tinto was actually the benchmark for the 1994 Persua MK1, so it is no surprise and just fair that the Spanish want to make the same move.
