Fiat Doblò Cargo will be launched with a 1.4 petrol (95 HP) and three turbo diesel engines: second generation 1.3 Multijet - 90 HP, 1.6 Multijet - 105 HP and 2.0 Multijet - 135 HP. All Euro 5 compliant (Euro 4 variants are available for 1.4 petrol, 1.3 and 1.6 Multijet), the engines stand out for driving pleasure, excellent performance, quiet operation, and low running costs (fuel consumption and servicing), as well as being reliable and environment-friendly. More specifically, Euro 5 engines fit the new Start&Stop system and a particulate filter as standard features (diesel only). The engine range will later be expanded with the addition of Natural Power versions (dual petrol/methane fuel) and a new diesel version with robotised gearbox.

HAMANN-Motorsport did not have to venture unchartered grounds, as the company has been specialised in such sporty modifications for many years already. The latest impressive contributions by the tuning expert were the Mercedes SLR VOLCANO, the BMW X6 TYCOON EVO or the Porsche Cayenne CYCLONE.

For the modified design vocabulary of the trendy Italian, the engineers designed new aerodynamics components made of light composite materials. Perfectly manufactured extensions seamlessly fit into the car body design and give the LARGO a masculine appearance. A striking eye-catcher is the re-designed front skirt with integrated LED-lights. Special wing extensions are added at the front and the back.

They broaden the car body by impressive 30 millimetres at the front- and 35 millimetres at the back axle. The visual excellence is rendered by the perfectly shaped side skirts. And also the newly designed tail is remarkable: four exhaust end pipes and a diffuser which resembles the Ferrari element leave an extraordinary mark at the tail. It goes without saying that all HAMANN-components do not only convince with their look, but also with their aerodynamic characteristics. They produce an optimised air duct across the car silhouette and therefore render additional downforce.

Fiat 130 Coupe

The Fiat 130 Saloon was first produced in 1969, replacing the the Fiat 2300. The Pininfarina designed coupe would follow in 1971. Four-wheel independent suspension, disc brakes all round and an alternator all sounds fairly standard but it was big news at the time and hailed them as being very technically advanced.

I was never really a fan of the saloon it was just another big Fiat, but the coupe was a good looking well engineered car. Although there was no doubt of it being a technical and design success it would never become a sales success. This was mainly because of it's awful build quality and Mercedes and BMW, which were this cars main competitor, could do it a whole lot better.

Engines for these cars were designed by Aurelio Lampredi, Ferrari engine designer, they were basically a copy of the Fiat Dino V6 engine except for cambelt instead of a chain and SOHC on each bank.

Production under Fiat's control ended for both the saloon and coupe in 1976, but Pininfarina continued production of their coupe until sometime in 1977 when they eventually ran out of major build components.

At first glance this car is nothing special and most people would walk past it and not have a clue what it was. And they where probably overlooked as a classic, they weren't even a great drive, and yes they did fall apart but they were a fantastic car.
