[1] The Tapiro is powered by a longitudinally mounted, air-cooled 2.4-liter flat-six engine that produced 164 kW (220 hp; 217 PS) at 7,800 rpm, and is linked to a 5-speed manual transmission.

This engine could propel the Tapiro to an official top speed of 152 mph (245 km/h).

In 1972, the car was sold to a Spanish industrialist who used it as his daily driver.

The bomb exploded, burning the car but not destroying the chassis.

[6] The burnt shell was repurchased by the engineering and design company Italdesign, and is now on display in its Giugiaro Museum.
