W.C.E.-Abarth Evolution (1949 - 2022)

Описание: Abarth Evolution (1949 - 2022)

►Abarth was an Italian racing car maker founded by Austrian Karl Abarth in Turin in 1949.
In the 1960s, Abarth was quite successful in hillclimbing and sports car racing, mainly in classes from 850 liter up to 2000 liter competing with Porsche 904 and Ferrari Dino. Hans Herrmann was a factory driver from 1962 until 1965, winning the 500km Nürburgring in 1963 with Teddy Pilette
Later, Johann Abt was promised by Carlo Abarth that he could drive a factory car for free if he won all the races he entered—which Abt nearly did, winning 29 of 30, the 30th being a second.
Along with its racing cars, Abarth produced high-performance exhaust pipes. Later, Abarth diversified in producing various tuning kits for road vehicles, mainly for Fiat. Abarth was also associated in producing sports or racing cars with Porsche and Simca.
Abarth was sold to Fiat in 1971, and the racing team sold to Enzo Osella. Abarth became the racing department of Fiat, managed by famed engine designer Aurelio Lampredi. Some models built by Fiat or its subsidiaries Lancia and Autobianchi were co-branded Abarth, the most famous being the Autobianchi A112 Abarth.
The Abarth brand still maintains its unique DNA, and is a synonym of performance, great driving pleasure and sporty appeal.
The story of the Scorpio continues, facing new challenges, creating unique vehicles and giving great emotion to whoever has the honour of driving these vehicles.
