Since its rebirth in 2007, the Abarth brand has proven that it remains worthy of being considered synonymous with a powerful, thrilling sports driving experience. The scorpion logo is once again emblazoned on the products of yesteryear, reinterpreted in a modern light. The brand's vehicles include the Grande Punto and 500 Abarth, pure specimens of high-performance technology that feature racing-inspired design. It also offers transformation kits and exclusive versions for racing fans. Abarth has made racing more accessible through highly responsive models such as the 500 Abarth Assetto Corse, single-brand competitions and a broad dedicated distribution network. It was the races themselves that took center stage in 2009, which witnessed the inception of the Abarth 500 Trophies, the victory in the European Rally Championship with the Abarth Grande Punto S 2000, and the presentation of the Abarth 500 R3T, conceived specifically for rally driving.
