Fiat 147

Fiat 147

The Fiat 147 was a three door hatchback compact car produced by Fiat do Brasil in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais from 1976 until 1986 when it was replaced by the Fiat Uno. It was the Brazilian variant of the Fiat 127. Some were also built in Argentina and Colombia.

Fuel

The 147 was the first Brazilian car that used ethanol as fuel instead of petrol. The performance slightly increased and fuel consumption was 30% higher but the cost of the alcohol was a quarter of the gasoline because, at that time, petrol had become expensive as a consequence of the 1973 oil crisis. This version was nicknamed "cachacinha" (little cachaça) because it had the smell of that drink.

Derivatives

Based on the Fiat 147 was a saloon called the Fiat Oggi and an estate called the Fiat Panorama, both built in the 1980s. There were also van and pick-up versions.

Production and markets

A total of 1,269,312 units were produced in Fiat's Brazilian factory in Betim, plus 232,807 units in the Fiat Argentina plant of Córdoba. This car also were built in the CCA plant in Bogotá, Colombia.

A few Fiat 147s were exported to Italy. They are most easily differentiated from Italian-built Fiat 127s (and the corresponding Spanish-built Seat 127) by the extractor vents in the rear three-quarter pillar.
