FATI BHARAT 60B

Regarding the chassis, it's not 100% from scratch — I took another artist's design and started erasing and redoing parts myself until I ended up with something entirely made by me. There's nothing left of the original; I redid everything. Could I have done it from zero? Yes, but I wanted the proportions and shapes to be as close to real life as possible. Once I managed to make the car look like an original model, I started the modifications.

I widened the fenders — the front one just slightly, keeping the original shape so that if you don't look closely, it still looks stock. The rear one was widened quite a bit.

The interior has some details I took from other users' mods, but I modified them to look better or fit the car properly. But things like the pedals, I made completely myself, and also the engine wiring that runs through the middle.

The ECU on the dashboard and the animated buttons were made from scratch by me (I slightly changed the ECU name — instead of “race...” it says “rece...”).

The engine was designed from zero — it was very difficult since I decided to model the injectors and wiring harness too.

The gearbox represents the car's original one but modified — instead of 4 gears it has 5, it's a bit longer, and I added a gear system to move the engine further forward to improve weight distribution.

Yes, I put a lot of love into it. Why? Because my parents had one of these as their first car, same color, completely stock — except for the wheels and steering wheel.

Update: found the original design and here’s why my use is legal

I found this 3D model on GrabCAD: https://grabcad.com/library/zastava-750-1

I want to make it clear that I know you can’t directly use 3D models from that site. But remember, I completely redid all the modeling myself. I only used it as inspiration, a base, help, or all of those things together.

I want to clarify that my use of this model is fully legal and does not require permission from the original author. Although I initially used this model as a visual reference, I progressively cut out parts of the original design—for example, removing half of the fender—and completely remade those parts myself. I repeated this process for the entire car until the final model was 100% my own creation.

Since I did not copy or redistribute any original geometry and instead rebuilt every part from scratch, the resulting model is an independent work. Copyright protects the specific original expression (the original 3D file), not general ideas or real-world object shapes. By fully recreating the model, I have created a new work based on my own effort and interpretation.

Therefore, my use is legal, transformative, and does not infringe on the original author’s rights. I do not need additional permission to use or distribute my remodeled version, including for mods or other projects.

But I completely appreciate and thank the creator of the original model.

Update: The new wheels were completely made from scratch by me. I replaced the original wheel logo with the newest version, and together with AI, I kept the original typography but changed the name.

This vehicle mod is inspired by the classic Fiat 600, especially the racing variants like the Abarth 1000 TCR. The design captures the proportions and general shape of the real car, but it has been heavily modified with custom wide fenders, a new engine layout, and interior changes. The engine used is a real Alfa Romeo “Busso” 3.0L 24-valve naturally aspirated V6, modified for high performance. The wheels used are the Gotti Simca Fiat, which are now discontinued.
