Description
The Fiat 131 Abarth: A Rallying Machine for the Ages In 1970, Fiat set its sights on becoming World Rally Champion, and the 131 Abarth, launched in 1976, was the key to achieving this goal. This car was a highly modified version of the family car it was originally based on, with significant changes to engine, transmission, suspension, and budget. The results were impressive: the 131 Abarth won World rallies within months of its launch, and went on to claim the World Championship for Makes in 1977, 1978, and 1980. Its success was backed by a talented team of engineers, setting a high standard that would be matched by future rally cars. This book tells the story of the Fiat 131 Abarth's remarkable rallying career, exploring its design, development, and on-track achievements.
