In that case we are more or less on the same page.

I beg your pardon? Admittedly there are swarms of hipsters and snobs around propping up the price of air cooled 911s, which is a shame (just as the previous generation did to the 356s, and we know the end result).

OK, it’s just a film, but in real life the head of that hapless policeman would have quickly departed his body in a most gruesome way – which means she would have died too.

Before hydraulic handbrakes were a thing, Opel briefly experimented with a fourth pedal on at least one Kadett GSi Group A rally car. It acted only on the rear brakes.

Thanks for existing, Jason.

I’d say so. I posted a comment earlier but nobody seems to have noticed.

A Zagato then.

Obviously a Multipla is no match for a Corvette (except in cases such as these where the person pedalling the Fiat is a very skilled driver) but it has surprisingly tidy handling for something that looks like a van (its platform was based on the one of the Bravo/Brava, though, suitably reinforced). I suppose it has to…

That “vehicle” is certainly not based on a Fiat Multipla. The proportions are all over the place! Multiplas are quite bigger and not so narrow in comparison with their height/length.

That was lovely.

Good show, Ms Schrader, good show.

Well, that is pretty interesting. I had never heard of that sticker on the Samara engines, but after checking in Google it is not very common but not that unusual either! Maybe Porsche only allowed those in cars for certain markets...

I’d imagine it is a Savio, but a different model (“Spiaggina”, which could be loosely translated as “little beachy [car]”. I’d say earlier, too. But is is also Frua’s, I wonder? Interestingly it also has what looks like wood trim (be it real or fake) all around, just like the silver car.

Glad someone got you out of the greys. But you should read Torch’s statement carefully (my italics):

Not a rally car at all.

Most likely that’s what happened, but I’d imagine Savio built more than two? After all, they used to manufacture small series of derivatives.

That “Savio” is in fact Multipla-based and was designed by Frua when he was working with Carrozzeria Savio. I wonder if the original Fiat version was also “découvrable”?

Thank you for the clarification. It was indeed the most logical explanation, anyway.

The “diesel sewing machine” part sounded a bit dismissive, hence my comment.

One last thing... check the dates and you’ll realise the SC/RS was built strictly for Group B. Not Group 4!
