Simca
A budget sports car for a young audience
The Simca Coupé 1000 and its successor, the Simca 1200S are small, rear-engined two-door coupes which were produced by the French automaker Simca between 1962 and 1971.
BRAND: Simca
MODEL: 1000/1200 S Coupé
YEAR: 1962
BODY TYPE: Sports car
POWER SUPPLY: Combustion
CATEGORY: Production car
DESIGNER: Giorgetto Giugiaro
Despite sharing its chassis and mechanical elements with the boxy Simca 1000 saloon, the Coupé, whose body design was commissioned from Bertone and realized by Giugiaro, was able to offer superior road holding and performance because its centre of gravity was lower and its shape more aerodynamic.
