Abarth 500 History
In 1949, after the unfortunate financial downfall of Cisitalia, Carlo Abarth founded Abarth & C. in Bologna along with his friend and fellow racer Guido Scagliarini.
Carlo’s zodiac sign, Scorpio, is represented by the scorpion, which Abarth selected as their logo. The 595, 695, and 124 Spider are all small vehicles that deliver a punch, in keeping with Carlo’s idea of “small and mean,” which was exemplified by the Scorpion.
In the 1950 Palermo-Montepellegrino hill climb, when Tazio Nuvolari competed and won the final race of his illustrious career in the Cisitalia-Abarth 204a, Abarth fully burst onto the racing scene.
Abarth’s revival was announced in 2007. In the past decade and a half, Abarth has had increasing sales and a successful growth into foreign markets since being relaunched as an independent brand. The 2011 Trofeo Abarth 500 Italia and Trofeo Abarth 500 Europa competitions featured the Abarth 500.
The Abarth 500 made its debut in 2008 and quickly established itself as the company’s signature design. The 124 Spider joined the lineup in 2016 and quickly established itself as an iconic vehicle.

Conclusion
On the Abarth you can now choose between a hatchback or cabriolet version of the Abarth 595, the more powerful Abarth 695 with a 1.4 turbo T-Jet petrol engine, or the 124 Spider. Like the beast, the legacy of the Scorpion remains, and thanks to its different victories, it has earned a place among the greats, where it will most likely remain and thrive. May be useful!
