The Fiat 131 Abarth is a legendary name in rally racing, known for its remarkable performance and engineering excellence during the late 1970s and early 1980s. This 1/24 scale model kit by Italeri captures the essence of the original vehicle that dominated the World Rally Championship with three manufacturers' titles, a drivers' championship, and an FIA trophy to its name.
Developed from the two-door Fiat sedan, the 131 Abarth underwent significant modifications by Abarth to enhance its competitive edge. The vehicle featured a lightweight body, made possible by using lighter materials, and was equipped with larger wheels and new air intakes for improved mechanical cooling. Its 4-cylinder longitudinal engine, featuring a light alloy head and four valves per cylinder, was a testament to its advanced design.
For hobbyists and collectors, this Italeri kit offers an opportunity to recreate a piece of rally history. The kit is designed to reflect the car's authentic features, making it an ideal addition for those interested in motorsport legends. With its precise detailing and historical significance, the model serves both as a challenging build and a striking display piece.
