FactIts coupe let the passenger open the door with just a button, styled by Paolo Martin at Pininfarina.
A large executive car built by Fiat from 1969 to 1977 as a four-door saloon and a two-door coupé, with a front-mounted V6 driving the rear wheels. The saloon was launched at the 39th Geneva Motor Show in March 1969 to replace the Fiat 2300, a thoroughly modern car with four-wheel independent suspension of modified MacPherson struts front and rear, torsion bars at the front and coil springs at the rear. The coupé, designed and built by Paolo Martin of Pininfarina, followed in March 1971 with a button-operated passenger-side door release and the enlarged 3,235 cc V6, whose interior design was later adopted in the 130B saloon. The crossflow 60-degree V6 with rubber-toothed-belt-driven twin overhead camshafts was developed by Aurelio Lampredi from the 128 motor, first as the 2,866 cc "130 type A" and, from 1971, the 3,235 cc "130 type B". Power was delivered through a standard Borg-Warner three-speed automatic, with a five-speed ZF manual optional, and the car had ZF power steering. Saloon production ended in 1976 after 15,093 were built, and 4,294 coupés were made in total, with two one-offs, the three-door Maremma estate and the four-door Opera saloon.

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.
