128 Rally (Italy, 1971)

The Rally Edition of the Fiat 128 was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1971. It was based on the 2-door salon varian and was equipped with a stronger engine with a displacement of 1300 cc making a higher output of 67 bhp at 6200 rpm and a top speed of 150 km/h.

It also featured different gear box ratios, a servo-assisted braking system and new tyres to account for the increased performance.

Also the styling was modified, showing a different grille, supplementary lights, a broken-line bumper and twin rear lamps.

In 1972, the Rally variant saw some interior updates (new upholstery and  new steering wheel) and received a plastic cover for the fog lamp on the exterior. No changes in terms of performance were made.
