Autodelta GT Super | Inspiration In order to improve the power output of the Gran Premio Romeo's engine, Jano introduced supercharging technology gained from his experience at Fiat. He started working thoroughly, using a Wittig-type mechanical compressor and altered the engine's compression ratio in the process. In order to free up space on the engine block for the supercharger, one of the two carburetors had to be omitted. The task of converting the existing engine was therefore a compromised situation and the basic engine design remained untouched. This resulted in a rather disappointing power output of only 114 bhp @ 5,000 rpm, a figure which did not promise much competition success for the GPR - a car which became known as the 'P1'. . . |
