It's a Fiat Coupe Turbo. It was spotted here a couple years ago. The story is that it was brought in on a temporary pass by a student or something like that.

I used to see those quite often back home (Venezuela) thats rare.. nice spot I wonder where the car comes from

[adam c]

he's also a member on the boards, haven't seen him post in a long time

[scat330]

He posts more on Eurodrivers.

The car is a fiat coupe, but it's far from stock and debadged, making it harder to recognized.

That's a cool looking car. It's nice to see stuff like that running around, but I bet it's a nightmare to get parts for.

I found this page about what mods he's done to it: http://members.shaw.ca/coupeboy/coupe/coupe.html

Sounds like that engine is pretty worked over.

His car needs to be a sticky in the spotted section.

See something that looks like a spider on the road? Look here first!

Haha thats what I think every time I see the threads for this car. It never fails, once every 8-16 weeks someone goes "What is it, what is it? I've never seen it before!"


Sweet car though. They made a police car out of one on top gear back in the day.

lets take bets on how many more times it will be "spotted" and posted about lol

[tobypaddock]

sorry to annoy everyone with the spotting - thought it was better than all the "douchbag parking" and exotic postings - i mean, i see ferrari's, lambo's and bentleys basically every day, its not that rare in calgary anymore.

can a mod please change the thread title so as to not inconvenience anyone by having them unnecessarily look at something they've seen 3 or 4 times before.

i think its a space ship =o

[..*JDM Hatch*..]

talked to that guy at the shell off of Mcleod tr buy chinook mall.I guess iti pushing 430WHP or some shit.but it had a VERY bad tune when i saw the car.

:rofl: Believe it or not this guy lives two doors down from my house.

He is a really stand up guy I've had a few chats with him about the car. He imported it from England, I never did ask how he was able to do it legally but I do know that's where it's from. There is countless hours of work that has gone into that car and money too, last I saw he was ripping out the stock ECU and swapping in a stand alone unit to try to tune for the big turbo properly. And as has been said already it's a Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo.
