    Just to ask this question, but does the car have sun visors yet, and if not, will it get it in the future?

    13b rotary? Pretty compact and insane power for such little displacement.

    It probably won't weight over 800 kilos, so it would be insane with 270 hp small engine.

    That would cost even more than building a M50 or 2jz.
    Great idea nonetheless.

    Why do people insist comparing this to the Beetle? Other than the flat-4 engine, it's almost purely a 600 knock-off... :rolleyes:

    The engine is the main thing, but I do see some beetle inspiration in the general shape of the front wings and rear arches. The Fiat 600 is a lot more slab sided. Otherwise yeah its quite similar.

    There are Beetle like indicators too and something in proportions, chassis, something is deriving from Beetle, imo.

    Because I can obviously see hints of the Beetle in it. Bumpers, engine, shape, etc. It's like how the Hopper mixes features of the Jeep Wrangler and similar Japanese SUVs.

    I'm speaking of the general shape, then under the skin it can be full Beetle for all we know. But on the outside, it's like 90% 600, 5% Beetle, 5% original elements (like the whole frontend)

    I honestly can't see anything of the Beetle other than something in the (very generic) windowline. The Beetle had separate wheelarches and the 600 had similar indicators and bumpers, just sayin'...

    Front design is maybe the part that resembles the Beetle the least...

    Overall it looks very similar to the Beetle, but we have to remember that Beetle's design is from 1930s, this is 1950s!
    There is more 1950s than 1930's in this car IMO. :)
    The fenders are streamlined/merged with the body like in the fiat 500/600, not separate and that horizontal!
    Round headlights and round shapes make them similar, but they are something typical for every car of the era , not just for the Beetle.

    Closer to beetle, imo, although if you look those fender arcs, dimensions, it is kinda perfectly half way of both?

    Dimensions, maybe, but fender arcs are exactly the most dissimilar element to the Beetle.

    and the car is probably around 600-900kg tops. Doesn't help that the engine bay is probably far too small for it.

    I am very excited for this!
    But what i am most excited is Autobello's future. Im not trying to get ahead of myself, or anyone else, but i am excited for what us to come for this new brand. Im already thinking of more Italian family cars under this brand. Not just Fiat in particular.
