La familiare col motore di un furgone: Fiat 131 Diesel Panorama

The Fiat 131 Panorama Diesel Sofim was born at the height of the energy crisis of the 1970s, when diesel seemed the most practical solution for those who needed to cover high mileage while saving money. In this video, we tell the story of the 131 Diesel, the Sofim engine, the super tax that wiped out many diesel cars of the era, and the modifications required to fit a 2.5-liter commercial vehicle engine under the hood of a Fiat station wagon. Then we test drive it: heavy steering, vibrations, understeer, fuel consumption, rear-wheel drive, and that van-like torque that makes the Fiat 131 Panorama Diesel one of the strangest, rarest, and most interesting Fiats to be rediscovered today.
