97 bhp per litre, that has been easily possible for a long time.


Prior to this Fiat, have any car makers used the knowledge in production cars?

Honda, for quite a while. The S2000 engine is a naturally-aspirated two litre producing around 240bhp with virtually 100% reliability. I'm sure there are others, too, but this is the first one that came to my mind.

Pete. :)

Motorbikes have been pushing out 140bhp per litre and more for a decade or more.

Hmm. I'm not much of a petrolhead, so this is the first time I've noticed (found it via Twitter, tbh).
The fact that the Fiat 500 with this engine costs £1200 more than the same car with a "normal" engine kind of makes a mockery of the advantages...

Anyone here with photographic knowledge?

I'd like to pick up one of these (I like small things!) would developing the 16mm film be a pain?

There are still some specialists around who will do it. Although if I wanted to shoot film in sub miniature I'd probably get myself a Minox again. They are absolutely brilliant bbits of kit. Even smaller too at 9.5mm film.

The B is probably the most common and was made from '58 to '72
