Unsupported Autron CVP 1.6

A small rework of a Ibishu Covet to kick off a new French company.

Autron CVP (Compact Vehicle Platform) (1989 - 2005, 2019)

Unsupported as of February 14th, 2025. Why?

From now on, the mod is not going to be officially supported and won't be updated to work on newer versions.

This mod has already been made fun off by multiple of "genius mod creators" who love to not care about the reason i'm actually proud of this and ignore everything i made afterwards or anyone who's started off modding this game and posting their stuff on this website. I know what i'm saying, because this is how i see the sad reality of being an advanced vehicle creator, fortunately i didn't turn into them.

I'm only proud of this mod for teaching me how this amazing physics game works and giving me an opportunity to create something greater. The result of which was the creation of Ibishu CrossSport released on March 11th, 2024

When i moved away from it, it's then i started thinking of it as just a bad mod, since it's just an old pre-pre-remaster Ibishu Covet with smaller wheelbase and lots of stuff added on top. The whole thing was meant to be as a simple mod for me to learn how to do things such as jbeaming, making UVs for skins, etc.

Yes, i did make some whoosh about it back then, however this was left in the past, i do not like to talk about Autron, either it would be this mod, @SSRG 's Xenira, or @MrCin 's Cacatron, by far the best one to try.

Please, stop fucking bothering me with the Autron, i am not going to support it or let anyone use the name. Leave this shit to rot, and please focus on my newer mods and forget this ever existed.

I do not care if you like it, don't fucking bother me with it. There's already a person calling me an r-word because i made the Autron. Even though they apologized later, i still didn't accept it. Fuck you still to the person who said it.

I'm out.

SportPower - Sporty and more powerful version of the Petitron.

Lore
Autron was founded somewhere in the 1970s originally as a parts manufacturer and supplier for some French and other European automakers around that time. In 1985 however, Autron took a different direction and partnered up with a Japanese car maker Ibishu to create a new French vehicle that would be made in a new factory built by Autron in Mulhouse, France. Ibishu would allow Autron to use their still in development Ibishu Covet, and Autron would allow Ibishu to produce cars in the new factory to decrease export tax the japanese maker struggles with.

In 1989, Autron (as "Moteurs Autron Ibishu") would release a shortened version of the Ibishu Covet called the "Autron CVP" (Compact Vehicle Platform), It came in multiple body styles with their own names (e.g. hatchback - Petitron).

2 Facelifts would be released, first in 1996 and the last in 2000, changes were mainly slight exterior changes and interior changes, however the main changes were the improvement in handling, suspension, powertrain and safety.

Autron CVP would end production in 2006, however Autron would still provide parts for the CVP cars until 2019 as it was still being produced in India.

Since 1997, ties with Ibishu and Autron were cut, with Autron renaming itself to "Groupe de véhicule Autron", as the French company wanted to move away from doing slight reworks of existing Japanese products to making their own.
