Witness The Fury Of A 600bhp, AWD Fiat Coupe
Let’s get this out of the way now: no, this particular Fiat Coupe is not powered by a warble-tastic 20-valve inline-five. Instead, it’s one of the considerably less fruity-sounding 16-valve inline-four Coupes, but hopefully you can still appreciate the lunacy of the thing.
Built by an Italian firm called Rama Racing (which has also made a 1000bhp Lancia Delta Integrale, by the way), it’s been converted to all-wheel drive, although it looks like the system can only just contain the 600bhp output of the heavily boosted 2.0-litre engine. We’re quite fond of that front bumper exhaust exit, too.
With most Fiat Coupes tipping the scales at around 1300kg from the factory, roughly tripling the original power output of the 16-valve turbo version has quite a dramatic effect: the Rama Racing car is seen easily clocking 10-second quarter-mile runs, and is apparently good for nine second passes…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Italian car? Modified by italian firm?
italian overload
Should do the 5 cylinder too 👍🏻
Definitely!
Nice
Wow, nice, anyways, I was wondering, should I buy a Fiat Coupé as my first car? Possibly a N/A 2.0 20V because clearer sound than the 20V Turbo, bcuz 170hp is just enough for a start, and because the 20V Turbo is rare in Germany… So?
Go for it, but keep in mind that you have to work on it from monday to friday so you can drive it on the weekend.
Falls du doch einen 20V turbo kaufst, achte auf den zahnriemenwechsel. Der ist irrsinnig teurer.
5 cylinder without a doubt 👍🏻👍🏻
“Warble-tastic 20-valve inline-four”? That’s an I5 right?
Yeah
Oh yesss!!!
And if it does anything illegal, this will chase it down
Sounds a bit like an Evo
The Fiat Coupé may not be the best looking car but it sure has good enough performance to put people’s money where their mouth is. Especially for something like this? It’s a TANK of whoop-ass waiting to happen.
