WIP 1993-2003 Autobello Covet

​

The Autobello Covet is a late production version of the Ibishu Covet that was sold in Europe via a joint venture between Ibishu and Autobello. It features upgrades such as new engines, transmissions, stiffer build, interior changes and rebadged parts.

As Ibishu was about to slowly end the production of the Ibishu Covet in Japan and North America, they saw it still has potential in Europe. Ibishu decided to start a joint venture with Autobello, and continue producing the popular Covet in Europe. a new factory in north Italy was built by Autobello, purely for the modernized European Covet. The "New Covet" didn't bring a refresh like usual, instead of selling the same car with a facelift, they focused purely on the technical side. Build quality and use of new materials made the covet stiffer and lighter, therefore making it more agile and safe, but also very resistant to corrosion to ensure a long life. Another upgrade to safety was made by adding an optional driver airbag and seatbelt load limiters. New engines were one of the biggest changes made, the outdated Ibishu engine lineup was replaced by newly engineered Autobello engines. The HTO (High Torque Output) engines are ideal for lower end models, feauring increased torque in the lower RPM range for easy reliable daily driving. The Flame engines are mid-high range engines with higher power outputs despite their size. Autobello added their Bellomatic CVT transmission and a 6-speed manual.

This mod will include 13 configurations, here are a few of them:


Autobello Covet LE 1.7 Flame Bellomatic


Autobello Covet SE 1.3HTO


Autobello Covet LE 1.5DT

wow replacement COVET class cool but I'll also take the idea from you

OMG, I have so much deja vu, I was trying to do this on the weekend.

 

Any pictures of the interior ? I'm very curious to see whats new !

 

I like the idea but I think it should have at least some minor cosmetic changes outside, maybe different lights and bumpers and some other stuff. May I also suggest a sedan based off the covet sedan from Ibishu Plus mod?

 

This looks promising, but i feel like it should have more content because for now it's yet another rebadge with not much to offer
