New Abarth & C. at Geneva Motor Show 2007

World premiere to relaunch the brand.

 

At the 77th International Motor Show of Geneva, Abarth will be relaunched for all the fans of sports car racing.

For the departure of this new adventure, an innovative,

technological and extremely well- studied stand was selected: here the strong personality of the brand is seen in the Abarth racing stripe, revamped and built with LED, and a new three-dimensional logo made of shiny glazed aluminium.

The aluminium, carbon fibre, enamels and lacquering of the stand add value to the real stars of the show: the new Grande Punto Abarth S2000, type-approved for competitions, and heir of the winner of the 2006 races, and the concept car Grande Punto Abarth Preview, at its world premiere.

The car perfectly represents the two souls of Abarth: racing and mass production. The third sector of activities, transforming and tuning cars, is represented by a multimedia configurator that illustrates the concept of the

Haha you must be an Arbath's fan.... me tooo. I still could remember the Arbath 1000 (or 750) with rear engine which my uncle owned - same body as the Fiat 600. Sometimes, in the late night, he'll let me drive his Arbath although I'm still too young to drive then. It was really fun to drive the Arbath 1000 (small & quick - quite similar to the cooperS).He used to bring me along when he raced (hill climb time trial at the Gap) in the 70s. I remembered he used to give the CooperS a tough fight.

 

I'm waiting for the new Arbath to land and hopefully it won't be a disappointment with all the 'fantastic' news now going on. Cheers!

Highly probable that the tunning kids will be available only from specialize workshop like alfasportivo etc...TTS is already too preoccupied with it's overloaded workload in it's workshop.
