1967 Abarth T140 6 Litre Prototype
- Brand: Abarth
1967 Abarth T140 6 Liter Prototype.
The 1967 Turin Motorshow saw Abarth displaying their new engine designed for motorsport, a 6 litre V12 unit. Unfortunately due to changing regulations it was never used.
It was a 120deg V12 with a single camshaft in each bank. The total capacity was 5983cc (92x75mm). Four triple carburettors (Weber 40 IDA 3C) were fitted, the compression ratio was 12:1 and the lubrication system used a dry sump. Total power was 610bhp at 6,7000rpm.
Abarth engine responded to Luciano Fochi. car was designed to compete in the Ford GT40 and 330 P3 and P4 Ferraris, but the project went through the ice when the FIA dropped the prototypes to 3 liters of cubic capacity. It's a shame, because that Mario Colucci, drawn and designed the T140 is simply exquisite. Abarth became the technical director Colucci otherwise Abarth,Alfa the late '50s.
The new fotos in track is from a nice replica with BMW V12 engine.
