For some reason I never did this before!
but looked up the Coupe on Wiki.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_Coup%C3%A9

Can see one mistake for a start:
"with the top speed of 140 mph (225 km/h)"
No way - its right there in the handbook 250 km/h, 155 mph.
This probably doesn't matter, because I suppose it won't get there now anyway, except for maybe boasting to your friends.

Of interest:
- it is rumored that Michael Schumacher was the original owner of LE No. 0001
- Both the 16VT and 20VT have been heavily modified over the last few years with a number of Coupés increasing output to 300-600 bhp.
600 bhp !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone on here that is rolling road at 600 bhp!?

LE's:
- with numbers as high as 1400 touted by some

Is there really that many about - I would have thought many less would have been the starting no..

JohnS has over 600bhp on race fuel.

there were that many LE's throughout Europe.

Michael Schumacher one, not sure about. It has been said he might have been given it but might not have even drove it

There used to be a 16vt with NOS in Italy putting out 700+ bhp. That was back in 2001.

The German LE list would suggest the number is nearer 1600. Common things those LE's wink
