    I try to figure out what car this is - the front reminds me of a Simca from the late 60ies?? The back though leads to an Italian car (Alfa or even Fiat?).

    @rolfmg Hi, it's a 1978 Torino TSX, made by IKA (Industrias Kaiser Argentina) originally (´66 to'75) then IKA was bought by Renault (75 - 81).

    Término de Fabricación: 1979

    Ciclo: 4 tiempos, árbol de levas a la cabeza, válvulas a la cabeza
    Ubicación: Delantero Longitudinal
    Cilindrada (cm3): 3.770
    Número de Cilindros: 6
    Diámetro x Carrera (mm): 84,9 x 111,1
    Relación de Compresión: 8,25 :1
    Potencia (HP): 200
    Régimen (r.p.m): 4.300
    Par Motor (mKg): 33
    Régimen (r.p.m): 3.000

    It is based on an Rambler American, but then re-styled by Pininfarina in Italy (hence its name, Torino, which was where the central headquarters of this design firm was) and with an Argentine development in the mechanical part.

    The torino was born from the need for a sports car for the Argentine car market in the second half of the 60s.
    Juan Manuel Fangio himself was involved with the project.
    It's "THE" Argentine sports classic car.
