Abarth 1000TC in action, on-board video


Wanna have a fast monday start? May be you find this one a high octane way to feel the passion of driving an Abarth. After the jump you will find a video that covers some laps of the new nurburgring circuit, taken by an Abarth 1000TC of the 60's, driving at full in the Abarth Coppa Mille of Germany. Enjoy it!

The Abarth 595 should be "the perfect Abarth" if you are looking for something exciting. It is no more than the sum of the best pieces of the Abarth cataloge, placed in a single car: It has the Sabelt seats, the SS kit, the Koni suspension, 160 hp, and has its own color scheme, and yellow brake calipers.

The only "low point" is the absence of the Brembo calipers, but otherwise, it looks stuning with its chrome-deleted parts. Take a look at it after the jump!

Abarth Car Culture (3): It is not nude without stickers

500 Abarth B&W

The vast majority of the new Abarths that are sold comes with the vinyls and stickers with the brand in capital letters to let the people know what is the brand of your car.

But when you take a look at the Abraths without the stickers, you understand that sometimes it's better to take the easy and pure way. Let me explain with five photographies.

Abarth Car Culture (2)

090718_AB_adamjones

Abarth means racing. Abarth means performance. And Abarth means "democratizacion" of racing. So, today we want to show you an special post with pics of the Trofeo Abarth 500 that takes part in Europe. Enjoy them!

Here they are. This is a post about the four cars and the accesories that Abarth is launching this week in the Bolognia Motor Show, in Italy. There are the 595 Turismo, the 595 Competizione, the 695 Assetto Corse (the new racing car of Abarth), and the new Abarth Punto Evo Scorpione in black.

Abarth is launching a new fashion line, with bags, clothes, sunglasses and much more. You have more pictures after the step here.

And please, let us know in the comments section if you ever wonder to wear the same look of the boy that is in the third pic of this post...

Video: The Abarth cars of the Bolognia Motor Show


As always, it's better to watch a car in a video than a photo, and even better is to get a drive on it... But, in this case, this is the further that we can reach: show you a pair of videos of two of the four cars that Abarth launched on the Bolignia Motor Show.

They are the 595 Turismo (up), and the 695 Assetto Corse, after the jump. Enjoy them!

Lancia 037, the Abarth car that born with a Lancia badge

59 Rally Costa Brava

The 037 project started to give continuity to the succed on the world rally championship scene to the Fiat Group. The Fiat 131 Abarth was winning week after week, and Fiat was thinking about developing a full new Group B rally car.


The first obvios option was the X1/9 Prototype Abarth, that we photographied in our visit to Guy Moerenhout facilities last year (the picture below).
