About Abarth

Abarth & C. was founded in 1949 by Carlo Abarth, born in Vienna in 1908, who had became an Italian citizen in 1945 when he moved to Merano.

Abarth had the brilliant idea of combining racing activities with products for the mass market, and he began to build his famous conversion kits for standard production cars.

The success of the brand in the minds of motoring fans was constant, and became almost overwhelming as time passed, reaching its peak in the late 1950s and throughout the 1960s.

In 1958 Abarth achieved a masterpiece on the new Fiat 500, completely transforming the small runabout, and highlighting its potential.

That same year the partnership with Fiat was stepped up, and Fiat undertook to reward Abarth financially on the basis of the number of victories and records that the stable notched up.

This agreement was behind the amazing list of victories in the coming years: 10 world records, 133 international records and over 10,000 victories on the track.

From 1971 Abarth became part of Fiat Auto, and the last car on whose development the founder of the brand collaborated actively was the A112 Abarth.

During the 1980s, the story continued with other famous cars such as the Fiat 131 Abarth which won the world rally championship, and the Ritmo Abarth.

Carlo Abarth died on October 24, 1979, under his birth sign: Scorpion, of course.
