You can see the outstanding performance from the cannon-like exhaust.
Name: Fiat Abarth 2000 Scorpione
Debt: 1969 Brussels Motor Show
Technical specifications: Abarth 2000 Sport Spider SE chassis, 2.0 liter inline-four engine with 220 horsepower, 5-speed manual transmission, rear-wheel drive, dry weight 1,477 power (670 kg), speed maximum 175 mph (281 km/h).
Why we miss it now:
Because Pinпinfarinп’s classic-style idea is still leading the way after nearly half a month, and it also has the performance to back up the spectacular looks.
Created in the early days of the wedge era, the concept started with a chassis borrowed from the Abarth 2000 Sport Spider SE and Pininfarin turned it into a work of art. Note the wrapped windshield and lack of A-pillars that create a 180-degree view in the cockpit. There’s also a pop-up headlight bar in the middle with six individual lights, while the rear of the car appears to be finished and has a glass hood that provides a spectacular view of the front of the car.
Speaking of which, you might want to believe that with such a thrilling design, the prologue has at least an eight-cylinder engine providing power, if not a V12. In reality, however, it only has the small 2.0-liter Fiat engine that Abarth upgraded to deliver 220 horsepower (164 kW).
Because now you’re probably thinking that the driver doesn’t follow the car’s supercar-like design, but for a car made in the late 1960s, it really packs a lot of punch. fee. Keep in mind that the Fiat Abarth 2000 Scorpione has a dry weight of just 1,477 lbs (670 kg), so it doesn’t need to be extremely powerful to be extremely fast. While running details were never released, Abarth did say that the low-slip bodywork could max out at a respectable 175 mph (281 km/h), although that can reach theoretical maximum speed.
Like several other concepts we’ve talked about in previous weeks, the Fiat Abarth 2000 Scorpione was, and probably still is, totally functional. It appeared a few years ago at the Conпcorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, where everyone gathered was overwhelmed not only by its amazing design, but also by the devastating appearance of its huge exhaust That looks like a faucet.
Japanese architect Hiro Kosaka now owns this car and he was able to buy it from Fiat as soon as he agreed to operate it for a month. That he did in 1992 and since then the abstract is on display at the Abarth Gallery at Lake Yamaпaka in Japan.
