    Autobianchi A112

    Autobianchi A112

    Fiat’s “luxury” brand Autobianchi, that pioneered Front Wheel Drive for the mother, launched the A112 in 1969, and was intended to compete with the Mini, also very popular in Italy. The engine was the 900 cc fitted in the Fiat 850 Coupe which made the lightweight car a decent performer.

    Best known is the car though via the 1050 cc Abarth version, which had 70 BHP on the tap, and was a delight to drive on the sinuous mountain that are so abundantly available in the Italian countryside. It was also an often participant in Rallies and Touring Car races.

    When production stopped in over 1.25 million cars were made, in the later stages of its production the car was given a Lancia badge, and the Autobianchi name disappeared for good.

    Shown is an Abarth version at the 2004 Technoclassica.

    Nice little and simple car. Although it's starting to look like a mini to me.
