For my essay I've decided to profile the Fiat "purist". The Fiat owner or restorer who believes you should use only original parts to restore a Fiat, (except for safety reasons). These purest are constantly on the look out for the coveted Abarth engine. Carlo Abarth was a designer who contracted for Fiat and designed their most powerful small engine. If you can obtain one of these engines you can have all the power your little car needs and still have a "pure" Fiat.
Oh and in case you don't know Fiat is an Italian car manufacturer. They haven't produced cars for sale in the U.S. for many years but are still going strong in other parts of the world. There has been talk of a partnership with an American car manufacturer to start production of the Fiat 500 here in the U.S.
