The Fiat 131 Abarth earned its reputation in rallying thanks to strong performance and clever engineering through the late 1970s and early 1980s. This 1/24 scale model from Italeri mirrors the car that helped secure multiple World Rally Championship manufacturers titles, a drivers title and an FIA trophy.
Based on the two door Fiat sedan, Abarth reworked the 131 with weight savings, larger wheels and extra cooling intakes to stay competitive. The longitudinal 4 cylinder engine used a light alloy head and four valves per cylinder, reflecting the advanced mechanical layout of the era.
Modelers and collectors will find this Italeri kit rewarding for its period correct details and faithful lines. It is intended for those who enjoy accurate assembly work and want a display quality representation of an important rally car.
