Innocenti Mini Turbo de Tomaso

The Innocenti Mini Turbo de Tomaso was the turbocharged version of the Bertone styled Innocenti Mini after Innocenti, by then owned by Alejandro de Tomaso, moved the car to Daihatsu engines. AROnline records that by 1985 De Tomaso had signed an engine deal with Daihatsu and relaunched the car in two ranges, one with a two-cylinder 617 cc engine and the Mini 3 range with the three-cylinder 993 cc engine from the Daihatsu Charade, which made 51 bhp. The Mini 3 could also be had as an automatic, a 37 bhp diesel, or a turbocharged version with 72 bhp, and a caption in the same article shows the SE, Minimatic, Turbo and Diesel varieties side by side. It stands apart from the earlier Innocenti Mini de Tomaso of 1976, which was an uprated version of the 120L.
