The Legacy of a Mechanical Wizard
The Abarth story began in 1949 when Carlo Abarth , a brilliant mechanic of Austrian origin, founded his company in Turin. A former driver turned tuner, he quickly developed remarkable expertise in the art of transforming standard Fiats into true racing machines. The scorpion, Carlo Abarth's astrological sign, naturally became the brand's emblem.
The 1960s marked Abarth's golden age with models like the 695 SS and the 850 TC Corsa . These small, supercharged Italians revolutionized the approach to the accessible sports car. Abarth's philosophy is perfectly summed up in its motto: "A car that's beautiful to look at, fun to drive, and easy to sell." This pragmatic approach to motorsport immediately appealed to amateur drivers and car enthusiasts.
In 1971, Fiat acquired Abarth in its entirety, marking the end of an era but also the beginning of a new one. Fiat models now benefit directly from Abarth's expertise, thus perpetuating the legacy of the Turin-based master.
The myth of the supercharged little Italian girls
An anecdote perfectly illustrates the Abarth spirit: during the 1960 24 Hours of Le Mans , a tiny Abarth 850 TC finished the race ahead of numerous cars with much larger engine capacities. This exceptional performance demonstrates that the genius of Abarth lies not in raw power, but in the meticulous optimization of each component.
Carlo Abarth had a special knack for uncovering the hidden potential of Fiat's mechanics. His transformations weren't limited to the engine: specific exhausts with a distinctive sound, lowered suspension, light-alloy wheels... Each modification helped create a unique visual and sonic identity. These Fiat Abarth Model cars faithfully perpetuate this very special aesthetic, recognizable among thousands.
Abarth's cultural influence extends far beyond the automotive world. In 1960s and 1970s Italy, owning an Abarth represented a true Italian art de vivre : elegance, passion, and performance combined in a space just a few meters away.
