Autobello Stambecco

Another excellent vehicle modification!

 

I just had an idea: a dune racer based on the older version of the Stambecco 6x6 (1971 - 1988, with the air-cooled gasoline 2.6 I6) and with a retro racing livery would be great. The newer 6x6 version (1989 - 2007), with the water-cooled 2.8 Turbodiesel I6 and the modern "Team Off Road" livery, seems a bit too modern actually.

 

I 100% Agree, there are some legendary racing pinzgauers and C303s with awesome liveries which would go perfectly with the littany of other 80s rally cars.
Like the Limited Class 5 piccolina, it'd also make for interesting driving dynamics, having the slightly tighter suspension, but still having to use all of the engine's power and maintain as much momentum as possible.

 

The tent should have a flap in it for easier access from the rear.

 

There's also this livery for the Pinzgauer, which I saw in a recent video (@1:22 - 1:32) about the mighty (and the not so mighty) DAF Dakar trucks of the 1980s and it was this livery to spark my idea!
Wow, didn't know that there was also a Pinzgauer racer with the 4x4 chassis! This would make for yet some more really interesting driving dynamics, since the 4x4 chassis of the Stambecco is less stable than the 6x6 one at high speeds and high speed jumps (it even gallops when doing a full-bore standing start on an uphill and it scrapes its rear bumper), so the driver must be really careful with the steering and throttle application when attending a dune jump!
Plus, the ~100hp of the air-cooled 2.6 I6 puts the proposed old Stambecco racer just above the first Pinzgauer racer, which only had 86hp!
Also, since you mentioned it, the Class 5 Piccolina, with the factory cut body, needs a retro livery too!

 

I was saying this a while ago, guys.

 

I had never seen your post, so I instantly smashed the "Agree" button!

 

It is not possible to assign controls to the TPMS, you have to do it with the interactable click boxes. Is it on purpose ? I think it is the only function that does not have shortcuts.

 

Is it possible to add T-Series engine With Race intake and stage 4 Super charger?
