Fiat Abarth 850 TC

The Fiat Abarth 850 TC is a tuned version of the Fiat 850 that the Abarth marque launched in 1961 as part of its range of conversions of Fiat's small cars. Abarth raised the capacity to 847 cubic centimetres, with a bore and stroke of 62.5 by 69 millimetres, and added 10 horsepower to reach 52. The car passed 140 kilometres an hour, several final drive ratios were available and a five speed gearbox was offered. The 850 TC evolved into the 1000 Berlina, shown at the Turin motor show in 1962, which was less sharp than the Nürburgring version of the 850 TC and meant for less exclusive use, with a 982 cubic centimetre engine of 60 horsepower and 155 kilometres an hour. In 1966 the racing 850 TC Corsa arrived with 70 horsepower at 8000 revolutions and 175 kilometres an hour, and in 1969 the radial-head 850 TC Corsa Radiale reached 93 horsepower and 190 kilometres an hour.
