Stria Cucciola is a small vintage car in Just Cause 3.

Description

It's a small 2-door car, made by the Stria company and resembling various 1950s to 60s economy cars.

The front resembles the Trabant, with some cues of the Mark I Mini. The rear resembles Fiat 500. The side profile (particularly the haunches over the rear wheels) somewhat resembles the Austin A30. It also borrows some slight design cues from the Zastava 750.

The Cucciola is front-engined, like the Trabant and Austin. All are iconic Italian, East German and British cars of their class and era, respectively.

The Cucciola is built on a platform frame with a front transverse engine and front wheel drive. It has independent suspension on all wheels.

The Rebel drop description says: "What the Cucciola lacks in size it makes up for in economy. It's a smart pick for gas mileage and thrives in the car-friendly climate of the Mediterranean."

Performance

While not powerful, this car is surprisingly quick. Its light weight allows it to have an agile feel while darting around traffic or back country roads, but it's not very good at climbing on-road hills. Acceleration is adequate, but it feels quicker than it is.

It is also worthy to note that it has the highest turbo jump of any vehicle. This is likely thanks to it being among the lightest vehicles.

Locations

• In traffic, all over Medici.
• It's the car that Rico has when the game is started and then player spawns about a kilometer east of Porto Coclea in Northern Val de Mar.
• In Nacre, with the owner being detained next to one of the Billboards.
• After bringing one to a garage, it can be called in at any time via rebel drop.

Trivia

• The car's name "Cucciola" means "female puppy" in Italian. To some extent, the word is also used to nickname one's girlfriend as a term of endearment.
• This car can be seen as a successor to the Baxter Petit and Hamaya Oldman from JC1 and JC2 respectively.
• This could be an older variant of the Stria Gioco, as it too is based of the Fiat 500.

Notice how the car becomes dirty when driven off road. Also, the Roadside Event has mistakenly spawned a Stria Obrero with vine barrels.
