1967 AUTOBIANCHI PRIMULA
Engine: 4-cylinder Fiat
Capacity: 1221 cc
Max. powered output: 59 bhp at 5400 rpm
Max. speed: 135 km/h.
The first Italian-built car to have front-wheel-drive with a cross-mounted engine (the Fiat 1200), this two-door saloon was presented in 1964 bearing the Autobianchi trade mark.
The Primula was endowed with considerable sparkle, while its stylish and functional bodywork housed some way-out mechanical features (e.g. transmission in line with the driveshaft and disk brakes on all four wheels). Its list price was 1,050,000 lire.
