1981 Fiat

This faithful Fiat 131 Abarth tribute presented here is finished in the iconic Alitalia livery, just like the race car Fiat campaigned in the 80s. This example is as faithful as any homage, superbly recreated both technically and visually. It is powered by a 2.0-litre twin-cam inline-four engine that sends power to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. The interior features Sparco racing seats and a bolt-in road cage.

The standard Fiat 131 was just an ordinary family saloon until Fiat chose to enter the 'Group 4' Rally Championship with the 131, and to involve Abarth and Bertone, which changed everything. Their rallying efforts led to major publicity and success, including the 1977, 1978, and 1980 FIA World Rally Constructors’ titles, and the World Rally Drivers Championships in 1978 and 1980. Enthusiasts were thrilled when 400 Stradale road versions, built to meet FIA 'Group 4' rules, were released to the public, which turned a bland saloon into an all-surface competition machine. Bertone developed the special bodywork, fitting a fibreglass bonnet and aluminium doors to reduce weight and adding wheel arches to accommodate larger 15'' Cromodoras and tyres, air intakes for cooling and spoilers for additional downforce. The results were spectacular: a cohesive design that turned the two-door shopping car into a veritable road rocket.

The car presented here is the result of an extensive effort to recreate one of the most iconic rally legends. It is suitable for any Group 4 Rally Championship enthusiasts. Please contact us for more information if you are looking to put this attractive Alitalia livery rally car into your stable.
