FIAT Abarth 2000 by Pininfarina

Obviously from these pictures we can see this is 100% a 1970s concept. Im not sure exactly what year it was made but seems like 1970. It quite good looking from a head on angle, but the rear end in my opinion doesnt flow as well.

In any case, being just over 39" tall it must have made quite an impact back then, and probably still would! The concept was built on a FIAT chassis and fitted with a 2ltr 4 cylinder engine with DOHC's and producing about 220bhp.

Lancia HIT concept by Pininfarina 1988

Many times I come across or recall cars that I cant find much information on and usually tend not to post those as I would like this blog to be as much for information as for just looking at nice pictures. Since there are many cars that I havent posted due to this I am going to start doing so so as to have them even if it is for aesthetics sake.

So, this is the Lancia HIT designed by Pininfarina in 1988. It is based on a Lancia Delta. The HIT was shown to the public at the 1988 Turin Motorshow. The name 'HIT' was formed from 'High Italian Technology, an indication that this car was a technology demonstrator. the technology that it demonstrated was not so much the drive train which used the mechanicals of the Delta HF Integrale, but the chassis which was created using carbon fiber. The composite materials gave an overall weight of just 980 kg. when a stock Delta HF weighed in at 1215 kg.

Considering what an awesome car the Delta HF was, this would have been amazing with 235 Kg. less!
