Fiat 130
The Fiat 130 is a large executive car manufactured by the Italian automaker Fiat, available as saloon and coupé.
The saloon was launched in March 1969, replacing the previous largest and most exclusive Fiat saloon, the Fiat 2300. It was a thoroughly modern car, with four-wheel independent suspension (torsion bars in the front and coil springs in the rear), standard power steering and four-wheel disc brakes, and was the first Fiat to adopt an alternator instead of a direct-current generator.
The Coupé, based on the same platform, was introduced in March 1971. It was designed and built by Pininfarina, and significantly different in style, including a separate interior design. Even more luxurious, it featured a button-operated mechanism allowing the driver to open the passenger-side door. In addition to this model, there were two one-off variations built, a 2 door estate and a 4 door saloon known as the opera.
The saloon went out of production in 1976, with 15,093 produced. The Coupé continued until the following year, and production ended with 4,294 built in total.
Powertrain
A completely new V6 engine, with a 60° vee angle and belt-driven twin overhead camshafts was developed for the model by Ferrari engine designer Aurelio Lampredi. It displaced 2866 cc and was rated at 140 bhp (104 kW). Power was delivered to the rear axle via standard three-speed automatic transmission, and a five-speed ZF manual was an option. The engine was uprated to 160 bhp (119 kW) for 1970, and then in 1971 replaced by a larger, 3235 cc V6 engine producing 165 bhp (123 kW). (Wikipedia)
