Power badge on front of van.

[BobtheBass]

I know it’s only a small thing but I often wonder why our Hymer has a red badge on the bonnet saying "power"? I haven’t seen one on any other Fiat, and the only idea I have is maybe it’s because our van has the 180 engine? Anyone else got one?

 

[davejmobile]

My autorail has the power badge.

We had one Bob on our 180 bhp fiat so I think that what it is

 

[Nirvanauk]

My shower at home has a power badge on it.

 

[TheBig1]

is the half that says "fart" missing?

Mine has this on it. But then, only the Very @old-mo TypeFellaPerson would understand.

Pretty sure that’s right - I used to see them on 3 litre Ducatos. Not seen them for a while now, though.

 

[Paul and Kate]

I also thought it signifies the 3ltr fiat engine.

If I remember rightly didn’t they fit them to Chevy pick ups ?

3.0 Fiat the power badge told you what it is,

 

[Reallyretired]

Noticed most Burstners have a Burstner badge in place of the Fiat one. Probably just trying to hide the fact of it being a Fiat instaed of something decent like a Mercedes

Took mine off! Used a variety of stickers and stripes to give a better illusion of speed.

They certainly did in its many sizes it has appeared in a lot of Chevy/GM vehicles. They stopped making the 8.1L version of the big block a few years back and it more or less killed off Workhorse the RV chassis manufacturer for a good while. It is truely a magnificent engine, ticks over at 600rpm and purrs along on the flat at 1400rpm when doing 60mph and coupled to the Allison transmission makes an orgasmic power plant.

There is no truth in the rumour, put out by the Very @old-mo TypeFellaPerson, that I have recorded the sound of the engine under load and listen to it through my headphones whilst sipping a glass of lightly chilled.

Standard badge on the Fiat 180bhp

 

[ctc]

The power badge tells the dealer where the engine is so he can do the pre-delivery checks.

 

[Ditcha]

What ever you do dont take it off you will lose about 30 bhp
