Fiat race- en rallywagens: boeken - historie en techniek

FIAT in Motorsport : Since 1899

An in-depth look at Fiat's historical and prestigious involvement in all forms of motorsport from the earliest days of racing right up to the present day. The achievements of the cars and drivers are described in detail, along with many original photographs, sourced from the official Fiat archives.

In the early days, before the First World War, Fiat was a major contender in Grand Prix racing, and employed many of the leading drivers of the era.
Although it withdrew from Grand Prix racing in 1927, Fiat cars were still to be seen participating in high-profile races, such as the Mille Miglia. In these events most Fiat models were sports editions of the highly successful 'Balilla' range.

In 1952 the introduction of the sensational 8V coupe resulted in many racing successes in private owners' hands, while the late 1950s saw the introduction of 'Formula Junior' class of racing and Fiat-engined cars were very successful in the early years.
In the 1970s, Abarth, then owned by Fiat, successfully ran the rally team, which resulted in three World Championships. Speed record attempts over the years are also detailed in this fascinating history of Fiat's sporting achievements.

Abarth - La magie du scorpion

Initially a manufacturer of "marmita" (sport exhausts), then a tuner of mainly Fiat engines, Carlo Abarth brought all his technical expertise to the creation of racing cars which, right up to the 1970s, won class victories in international competitions, particularly in small displacement classes. Later absorbed by Fiat, the Abarth brand has endured to this day, remaining synonymous with uncompromising performance!

This book explores this rare subject by presenting a series of Abarth's most emblematic models, using original, previously unpublished photographs to retrace the main lines of the Scorpion's rich history.
