The Oggi was mainly sold with one engine option, the 1.3 L (1,297 cc) Fiat 124 series engine, equipped to run on either alcohol or gasoline. The gasoline engine had a power of 60 PS (44 kW) and the alcohol engine, the most common, 61 PS (45 kW) of power. The gasohol versions output was reduced to 55 PS (40 kW) in 1984 for a lower fuel consumption. The CS version was added in January 1984.[2] In 1984 and 1985 there was also a special version named CSS with a 1.4 L (1,415 cc) engine.[3] This was also used in a Brazilian race championship and was limited to about 300 units sold. Overall, 20,419 Oggis were sold in Brazil over its three-year career.[3]
