While in some ways it makes me sad to think this car should really be vintage racing, I am happy I can enjoy it on the streets around my house whenever I want to. In the one scene you can see the car takes about 10 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph without revving it very high or shifting super fast. The tachometer reads 25% too high, so 7000 indicated is really 5600 rpm.
Cool! Wish we could see the car from the outside. I race a 64 1000TC with 1050 motor. Watch the videos on you tube at Abarth64. Cheers

Great video! Thanks for making me aware of it and your racing!
Yes, I need to have someone shoot some video of the outside of the car as I drive past.

HOW MUCH HORSEPOWER CAN THIS ABARTH ENGINE PRODUCE? WHAT IS THE TOP SPEED?
I have a ZASTAVA 750 made in Yugoslavia (basically a FIAT 600 with 750ccm engine) and I want to put an ABARTH engine in it.....

It has an engine from an Autobianchi
A112 70HP, which is a 1050cc motor. In stock form it made 70hp. Mine has a bigger carb and race cam and probably makes about 80. The top speed is rev-limited. That means your top speed is determined by how fast you are willing to spin the engine. At 6000 rpm it is going about 90mph.

this is a 1000 tc replica. 850 tc not have anterior radiator

The 850TC street cars did not have anterior radiators. But the 850TC racers had anterior radiators very early on. The rear, fan-blown radiator could not keep a racing engine cool and drained power from the engine.
