The Fiat 131 Abarth stands out in rally history for its competitive record and clever engineering in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This Italeri 1/24 kit recreates the car that helped achieve multiple manufacturers crowns, a drivers championship and an FIA trophy.
Abarth transformed the two door sedan with weight reduction strategies, larger wheels and upgraded intake routes to improve cooling. The car used a longitudinal 4 cylinder with a light alloy head and four valves per cylinder, showing the thoughtful performance layout of its day.
For hobbyists, the Italeri kit offers detailed components and authentic styling cues. It suits builders who value historical accuracy and want a tidy display model reflecting classic rally engineering.
