Triumph Acclaim Avon Turbo 1983

[Aero2000]

Yeah, now you probably wonder what's made me suggest this Acclaim? The answer to the question is quite simple, I didn't know about the Avon Turbo until I stumbled over an article about it in a magazine and thought it was a pretty nice car and with the 105 hp 1,3 litre carburetor engine it was also quite fast. On top about that all it's only produced as a Limited-edition with leather seats, wooden and leather trimmed dashboard for example for the interior and for the exterior it has two-tone metallic paint , Lunar alloy wheels etc.

Powertrain: 1335 cc , Inline-4 , twin Keihin carburetors , Turbo , 105 hp / 5500 rpm , 167 Nm / 3500 rpm , 5-speed manual

Dimensions: Length 4089 mm , Width 1600 mm , Height 1346 mm , Weight ? kg

Performance: Top speed ~193 km/h , 0-100 km/h 8,8 sec

I did know about the Acclaim but not that it was sold with a twin carburetor and Turbocharged engine. Not even Civic had a turbo engine.

I have a weak spot for any car that has TURBO proudly printed on just about every spare panel so it gets my vote.

Thanks, many of the early turbo cars had turbo-stickers as standard or as option Stickers are COOL!!
