Panda rolling road test

My mk1 panda 4x4 on the rollers (pre abarth)! Reads 35 HP at the wheels on the best run....it could be worse for a 23 year old fiat! And the estimated torque was 70 ft lb or over 100Nm....I think the transmission losses we're inaccurate!!
The car is suposed to have 48hp at the flywheel and 69Nm torque.

Panda 4x4 first series never had metal grid on the left.

Have you changed or be special version for the UK?

I'm curious :)

Good!

Hi there. It is not the original grill (grid). I had an accident and the original was broken :( ...

I can't find a replacement one unfortunately but it looks OK as it is I think. There are only about 50 first series Panda 4x4's left in the UK (this information was discovered in 2005 so there might be even less left today).

Cheers!

Regarding the power, 35hp (@wheels) would be a good result from most panda 4x4's. There are extra losses in the gearbox even with the 4x4 disengaged and to give you an idea..my brothers 998cc mini which was running very well had 29 hp @ wheels and the panda has only 965cc!!

Would be interesting to hear a result from a mk2 fire engine'd panda 4x4 hough...volunteering? :D Only £30-40 if you know of a place.

Thanks for the compliment. Its a mk1 panda grille. The oringinal mk1 plastic grille got ruined in an accident...tried to get the oringinal but its different to your mk2 panda grille, and super rare! Mk2 headlights are slanted where as mine are pretty much straight up!

Nice panda - i esp like the grill. i assume that was taken off another panda.

by the way, what's the mileage of the car? i have an '87 Panda 4x4 with 70k on the clock. i sure hope it hasn't lost that much power. seemed pretty nippy when i had it on the road, but i won't be driving it properly for a few months yet :(
