FactIts 1.4-litre engine was lifted straight from the Primula Coupé S, making the A111 the biggest Autobianchi ever built for a brand that specialised in tiny cars.
The Autobianchi A111 is a 4-door saloon family car produced from 1969 to 1972 by Autobianchi, a Fiat-group subsidiary; at roughly 4 metres long it was the largest Autobianchi ever made, as the brand specialised in small cars. Christened A111 and based on the Primula's platform and mechanicals, it used the 1.4-litre drivetrain of the most powerful Primula, the Coupé S of 1968, with a modern front-wheel-drive layout like the Fiat 128 launched concurrently, styled by Dante Giacosa's team. The Fiat type 124 BLC.000 1.4-litre overhead-valve four (also in the Fiat 124 Special and the Primula Coupé S), fed by a twin-choke downdraught Weber 32 DFB carburettor, produced 70 PS DIN (69 hp; 75 PS SAE) at 5,400 rpm and 108 N·m (80 lb·ft) at 3,000 rpm, with an all-synchromesh 4-speed manual and floor shifter; Autobianchi advertised 155 km/h (96 mph).

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
