help Innocenti De Tomaso FAQ
Did the production Innocenti De Tomaso use a Ford V6?
No. The production Mini De Tomaso used a 1,275 cc BLMC engine when introduced, followed later by a turbocharged 993 cc Daihatsu three-cylinder engine. [Historical model records describe those engines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innocenti).
When was the Innocenti Mini De Tomaso produced?
The Mini De Tomaso was produced from 1976 to 1987. It was developed after Alejandro de Tomaso acquired Innocenti and gave the small Italian car a sportier specification.
Was the Innocenti De Tomaso related to the classic Mini?
Yes. Innocenti had built licensed versions of the BMC and British Leyland Mini, and the De Tomaso was a sporting version of the Italian Mini line. Its compact front-wheel-drive layout preserved that Mini connection.
What made the Innocenti De Tomaso look sportier?
The car used a sportier body treatment with molded bumpers, a bonnet air intake, and other visual changes. Its 1,275 cc engine and compact Italian body made it distinct from an ordinary Innocenti 90L.
