About This Machine

Meet Autodromo, a rare and mysterious electro-mechanical pinball machine from Talleres CAR of Barcelona, Spain. Its exact year of release is unconfirmed - some sources suggest 1974, though IPDB has not verified this - but its unique features make it an intriguing addition to any pinball collection. As one of the few known examples of a Spanish-made EM pinball with an auto-racing theme, Autodromo offers a glimpse into the early days of the industry's European presence.

Gameplay-wise, Autodromo has a classic set of features for the era: flippers, stand-up targets, and rollover buttons, but no pop bumpers. The wedge-head cabinet is a distinctive element of its design. There may also be two mechanical animations beneath the playfield simulating cars racing around a track, though this has not been confirmed.

While there isn't much documented about Autodromo beyond these mechanical specifications, its rarity - the known flyer is the only example of this game IPDB has seen - makes it a sought-after curiosity for those seeking an authentic piece of Spanish pinball history.
