Fiat 131 Abarth 1980 1000 Lakes (N°1) Alen/Kivimaki Winner 1:18

The Fiat 131 Abarth Rally was a rally car created by Abarth engineers on the basis of the production Fiat 131 saloon. Between October 1975 and March 1976, 400 examples of this special model were produced to qualify for Group 4 homologation.

The Fiat 131 Abarth Rally was born of a desire on the part of Fiat Racing management to replace not only the famous Fiat 124 Abarth Rally, but also the no less famous Lancia Stratos, which had dominated the world of rallying since 1973 and was beginning to struggle against the competition.
