Pessio Garage Ape Proto «Terrorcarro» for Assetto Corsa

What this mod does

The Ape Proto «Terrorcarro» is one of the craziest ideas from Pessio Garage, author of other mods like the Maserati Tipo 61 and the Alfa Romeo GTAm. It starts from a Piaggio Ape, the Italian three-wheeled utility vehicle, keeping only the cab.

What it’s like

• Tubular chassis built around the Ape’s cab.
• Honda Hornet 600 motorcycle engine.
• 1:1 steering ratio, like a motorcycle fork; the handlebar animation is separate from the player’s steering wheel.
• Physics designed to let the rear end move around and keep it fun.

Credits

The author thanks Cauri Design for some liveries and Giuseppe Abagnale for reviewing the physics.
