I think we need a 1970s European entry level mid engine two seater sports car

Vehicle name: Autobello M2/4 (Mid engine 2 seater 4 cylinder)
Years: 1973 - 1978
Styling:
Mix of the Porsche 914 and Fiat X1/9
Front: Wedge shaped front end with pop up headlights and large impact resistant bumpers, flanked by slightly raised fenders with slim integrated turn signals.

• Side: Sharp body lines, wedge profile (X1/9 based) targa-style removable roof panel, exposed rear sail panels.
• Rear: Based on the Porsche 914 Louvered engine cover, thin horizontal taillights, set in rear bumper.

Chassis & Layout:

• Body: Two-door, two-seater coupe with a removable targa roof
  
  
• Layout: Mid-engine, rear-wheel drive (MR)
  
  
• Chassis: Steel monocoque with front and rear subframes
  
  
• Weight: ~850 kg (depending on trim)

Engines:

1. 1.3L I4 SOHC (Autobello 130S) – ~65 hp
   
   
2. 1.5L I4 DOHC (Autobello 150SS) – ~85 hp
   
   
3. 1.7L I4 DOHC (Autobello 170RS) – ~105 hp (top trim or rally variant)

Transmissions:

• 4-speed manual (base trims)
  
  
• 5-speed manual (sport trims)
  
  
• Rare aftermarket automatic conversion (low realism but possible)

Overview:
The Autobello M2/4 is a compact, wedge-shaped mid-engine sports car introduced in 1973 as Autobello’s answer to the growing popularity of affordable mid engine cars. While not blisteringly fast, it became a cult classic thanks to its balanced chassis, crisp steering, and iconic looks.
Why this would be a good car to add:

• It fills the niche of an entry level mid engine sports car like the Porsche 914, Fiat X1/9, Toyota MR2 and Pontiac Fiero, (which there are none of)
• There are few cars from the 1970s
• Autobello is a brand that has great potential to be expanded upon, as it only has two models
• It would be a great car for race, time attack, hillclimb and rally
• It would have fun to drive and interesting handling, lightweight with balanced weight distribution and high grip in corners, but prone to lift off oversteer
• It would be great for mountain carving and time trials in Italy
• It would be a beginner-friendly mid-engine car, not too powerful, ideal for autocross/time trials and with high scenario potential
