Seventy-five years of history
The brand with the scorpion badge started on March 31, 1949, when Carlo Abarth founded Abarth & C with driver Guido Scagliarini.
Its first car, the Fiat 1100-derived 204 A, helped Italian legend Tazio Nuvolari to win his last race in 1950.
Among the components for mass-production cars, the exhaust pipes became a true icon of the “Abarth style” over the years.
The marque reached the pinnacle of success between the 1950s and 1960s, while 1963 saw the debut of the Fiat-Abarth 595, the first Abarth based on the new Fiat 500, which transformed the small utility car.
The following golden decade was marked by an impressive winning streak – 10 world records, 133 international awards and more than 10,000 victories on the track.
In 1971, the brand was wholly taken over by the Fiat Group. The legend continued with the Fiat 124 Abarth, the 131 Abarth, and the Ritmo Abarth.
In 2008, the brand launched a new line-up created for motorsports enthusiasts before 2022 marked a new era with the debut of the all-electric Abarth 500e.
Highlighting the increasingly global character of the marque, two years ago Abarth also continued its global expansion with the Brazilian launch of the new wPulse, its first SUV.
