Recently we featured the Seat 1500. In April 1973 is was followed by the 132. Unlike its predecessor, this model was available exclusively as a sedan. Optically, the 132 is completely identical to the Fiat 132, which was already available a year earlier. Under the hood there was initially either a 1.6-liter gasoline engine with 72 kW\/98 hp and a 1.8-liter engine with 79 kW\/107 hp, each with two overhead camshafts. This development was usually only available for sports cars, as it was much more expensive to produce. Instead of a timing chain, there was a toothed belt to drive the valves and auxiliary units. With the larger engine and the optionally available five-speed transmission, the car reached a topspeed of 180 kph (111.8 mph).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also available as diesel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Compared to the Seat 1500, a completely new rear rigid axle without Panhard rod was used in the 132. In addition, Seat already used radial instead of diagonal tires to improve handling and precision. In addition to the two gasoline engines, there was also the 132 Diesel 2000, which was powered by the diesel engine already known from the Seat 1500. This engine was bought from Mercedes-Benz, where it powered the 200 D. In 1978, the 132 Diesel 2200 appeared as a replacement, whose 2.2-liter diesel engine came from the Mercedes-Benz 220 D. This model was the second most expensive passenger car on the Spanish market and at the same time the most powerful diesel car produced in Spain. In 1979, the 132 2000 replaced the 1800 in the gasoline line-up, but only provided two additional horsepower.<\/p>\n\n\n
