The diversity also extends to the concept cars and special versions that have marked the history of the brand, offering a complete panorama of this Italian passion for performance and style.
The fascinating history of Abarth
The Abarth adventure began in 1949 when Carlo Abarth , a former Austrian driver who had become a naturalized Italian, founded his company in Turin. The scorpion brand quickly became synonymous with spectacular transformations, particularly on Fiat bases. Carlo Abarth's genius lay in his ability to extract extraordinary performance from small engines, creating light and responsive cars that dominated their category.
The 1960s marked Abarth's golden age, with the tuned 500 and 600 winning victory after victory in rallies and hill climbs. These small Italian cars, with their distinctive sound and performance disproportionate to their size, captivated drivers from all over the world.
In 1971, Fiat acquired Abarth, but the spirit remained. The brand continued to develop sports versions and compete in major international championships, perpetuating the tradition of performance and innovation that characterizes Italian automobiles.
The anecdote of the legendary scorpion
A fascinating anecdote surrounds the famous Abarth logo: the scorpion chosen by Carlo Abarth corresponds to his astrological sign, but also to a symbol of speed and aggressiveness perfectly suited to the image of his cars. Even more surprising, Carlo Abarth was also an excellent saxophonist and led a jazz orchestra before devoting himself entirely to automobiles!
This dual passion for music and mechanics perhaps explains why Abarths have always had this very particular, almost musical sound , which delights enthusiasts. Abarth exhausts are instantly recognizable, creating a mechanical symphony that perfectly accompanies the performance of these supercharged little Italians.
This attention to sound is also found in Italian popular culture, where owning an Abarth was a distinctive sign of good automotive taste, combining performance and typically transalpine style.
Complete your collection of Italian Models
Abarth Model cars occupy a special place in the world of collectors passionate about Italian cars. They perfectly complement a collection focused on Fiats or Ferraris , offering a more accessible but no less exciting approach to transalpine excellence.
These Models are particularly aimed at collectors who appreciate cars with character , those that tell a story and embody a particular spirit. Unlike inaccessible supercars, Abarths represent this Italian philosophy of democratized driving pleasure, where performance is born from ingenuity rather than raw power.
For fans of models from the 1960s and 1970s , these Models are an excellent complement to other European sports brands of the time. They bear witness to this blessed period when innovation took precedence over constraints, allowing the emergence of true mechanical gems.

Abarth set more than 130 world records between 1950 and 1970, mainly in speed and endurance over various distances and engine sizes.
