TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Motor and engineering enthusiasts as well as those
“in the trade” will probably start reading from this point
in the manual. This, in fact, is where a section jam-
packed with facts, figures, formulae, measurements and
tables begins. In a sense it is the Fiat barchetta’s iden-
tity card. A document that introduces the car and ex-
plains in technical jargon all the features that go together
to make the Fiat barchetta a model designed to give you
superlative driving satisfaction.IDENTIFICATION DATA ................................................ 136
