That is ABARTH 850 or ABARTH 1000, both based on FIAT 600, with different engines (850cc and 1000cc), so it was not not Yugoslav Zastava 750.

I watched a special on this car, and the driver was talkiing about how much grip those wings gave even on loose surfaces. His words were "When they added the wings, snow felt like gravel, gravel felt like taramc,and on on the tarmac...Holy sh@t.

It was an unreliable, ill handling pig (the Sport S1) only kept towards the front (for very brief moments) by the very best drivers. None of the drivers wanted (or liked) the shortwheelbase and the very wide track was actually a disadvantage.

The Lancia Delta S4's were the "RB7's" of '86.
