Abarth
The Abarth works are equipped mainly for batch fabrication processes; the factory employs 110 people plus 12 administrative staff. Initial development work on a new induction system is undertaken on a test bed, but thereafter-and particularly so with the exhaust system most of the experimental work is carried out in carefully controlled road performance tests along the autostrade. This would seem to be expensive, but the final results appear to justify the methods.
Following up this specialist bodywork as well as obtaining increased performance from his modification to the Fiat 600 power unit, Abarth has produced two most attractive bodies for the 600 chassis in conjunction with Bertone. The first, a coupe (Type 215A) was introduced at Geneva and attracted much attention. The engine specifications, body aerodynamics and weight to power ratio produce a top speed of 170 km/h (106 mph). It was a RWD driven car, with Rear engine location, wighted at 560 kg. The car comes with a 4 Speed Manual transmition.
