CYNHO -- 1969 Abarth 2000 Scorpione Concept

The 1970s were a time of low fuel mileage and high fuel costs, but some of the best concept cars were made then.  However, the car I am featuring today is not from the '70s.  It was made in 1969 but with that distinct wedge shape that is found only in '70s concept cars like the famed Alfa Romeo Carabo.  So, a little more about the Abarth 2000 Scorpione.
          It had a very unique design, though, unlike anything else.  From the trumpet-like exhaust pipe to the thin teardrop-shaped headlight scoops to the row of flip-up headlights in the very front, you can tell this thing means business.
          It is powered by an upgraded Fiat four-cylinder engine, producing a respectable 220hp, which, along with the car's dry weight of just 1,477 pounds, would result in some serious performance.  The car has a theoretical top speed of 175mph.  Only one prototype was made, which currently resides in the Abarth Gallery near Yamanaka Lake in Japan.
