Hi

So, a fiat coupe competed in the Monte Carlo rally 1995/96

Where else did the coupe make any appearances as a international series competitor? or was that it?

Rallye Automobile de Monte-Carlo 1995
Giudici Gianni/Bernacchini Arnaldo
Fiat Coupé 2.0 16V
N3
#165

Rallye Automobile de Monte-Carlo 1996
Corio Emilio/
Fiat Coupé 2.0 16V
A7
#88

Hmm, I really don't know, we'd have to rely on some of our Italian brothers for this info I think.

I do remember reading once in Auto Italia that the Police had had one to compete in some stage over there also. It was now in a museum. Which I think could only happen in Italy.
And 'I'm sure' I read about an book on the subject of 'works' specials featuring a 4WD version which was made for racing evaluation, also...

Perhaps my memory has refracted this...

cool interesting- I did see a "police" version in a stage on Google images search



I haven't heard anything about 4wd versions for racing evaluation's but I would be very interested if there is any info

Thanks for the information, would be great to try and find the info you read - but were to start

Anyone?

The green police car was part of Top Gear, If I remember correctly, Clarkson was driving the coupe.

I have a model of that, good to see the Italian police have a sense of humour and like wasting taxpayers money

I remember a few years back there were 2 rallycross cars competing in Italy, A red and a white one.

The white one is this one http://rallycross.com/sales_db/viewoffer.php?id=1074&lang_id=0
running Porche 916 sequential box and diff!

Seems there were more!

Pity fiat never tried a 4wd version for rallying. I guess the inherent front/rear weight issues meant it wasn't the best platform. Be good to have something to copy on a 4wd conversion
