Based on the economy family sedan called the Fiat 128, the Coupe and 3P (Tre Porte – Three Doors) models presented a supposedly sporty alternative. Introduced in 1971, the 128 Coupe and 3P featured front-wheel drive and four-cylinder engines (via Curbside Classic).

Despite its cool, almost muscle car looks, the 128 Coupe and 3P weren’t exactly fast. The reason was the engine choice and buyers could choose between 1.1 and 1.3 liter units which delivered 60 and 67 hp. That is why most owners installed more powerful engines.
