HILL CLIMBING WITH “FIAT” CARS. REMARKABLE example of hillclimbing ability has been furnished by the new 10-15 h.p. “FIAT” light car, known as Model 501. A motor cycle hill climbing competition having been organised over the Rampe de la Donzelle. near Geneva. Switzerland, the owner of one of these little “FIATS” decided to give a demonstration of its ability tn tackle even freak hills with a gradicr considerably in excess of the maximun the car is guaranteed to climb on first gear. The Rampe de ]a Donzelle is 340 yards 4 jin length. Towards the middle its gradient is 28 pei- cent., or 1 in .3 4/7. and increases. Although the little “FIAT” has only a four-cylinder engine of .65 by 110 mm. bore and stroke, and carried its full load, it made the climb on two occasions without, any hesitation, and j without any signs of overheating. This I climb was not of a competitive nature, for piston displacement of the car made it ineligible for the speed test, but wa« undertaken at that time in order that the many sportsmen present might pass their verdict upon the officially certified gradient. The performance is instructive that this car will negotiate even those steep hills which, up io now, were thought beyond the possibility of any but the most powerfully engined.
