I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old DOHC Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree

i remember a magazine article in 1965 or 1966 in german auto-motor-sport magazine, when they tested this car (colour was bright-grey )on a nothern italian highway during normal traffic, and was amused, when it was reported, that a ferrari approached, passed ,and the test-driver accelerated the abarth on the right, leaving behind the ferrari as if this was a bulldozer. acceleration and even top speed must have been one of the best for road cars in those days.
It was never raced,as far as I recall,may be because of its lacking of balance overall;
inserting a 185 bhp engine in an chassis born for an 80 hp engine was not that great job- but with no proper enhanced set up this car was prob.undriveable pushing hard= Otherwise it could be a winner in its class but I don't
recall of it=
Besides,the engine seems be placed beyond the rear axel with great oversteer in cornering=
185 BHP and 160MPH (260KMH)and 850KGs!!!. Beautiful car but you must be mad mad mad to take it to the limit. Big Ba%$s required. Only the Italians can make a shopping car so exotic...

Would've been nice to hear the sound of the engine :)

What kind of engine was used? The 2000 version had a specially designed abarth engine, I believe, but what about the 1300 and 1600 versions?
jelmerstaal 4 years ago
The 1600cc car was a Berlina (sedan) and had a pure-Abarth twincam engine.
The OT 1300/124 had a Fiat 124 1280cc pushrod engine.

It has the same engine as the first car off the starting line in the video I posted entitled "Larger engined Italian cars at Silver Flag"
As you say, music!!

You are right, theringerboy. Merkel Weiss told me he had a friend who had one, who said the car was truly scary to drive fast.

There was a saloon version of it too, right?

I KNOW Abarth made a saloon version with the 1600cc engine, and I THINK there was a 2000cc version of it, too. Just a matter of swapping out engines.
