A WORLD OF PERFORMANCE SINCE 1949

ABARTHWORLD.COM 2 3

These were the words used by Carlo Abarth in the 1950’s to celebrate his company’s first 5 years, in the editorial of the first ever Abarth&C. catalogue/magazine. EDITORIAL 4 5 THE ABARTH WORLD

The opening words by Carlo Abarth say it all. This is our world, it is our work, but above all it is our passion. Those few lines, written back in the 1950’s to introduce the cars produced by the newly founded Abarth&C, are both a starting point and a milestone for the future as we go about our everyday activity. A starting point, because they perfectly capture one man’s ingenious idea, the creative spark, the intuition without which nothing would have been possible. And a milestone for the future, because they lay out before us a journey marked by challenges, adrenaline, and competition. It is therefore in this perspective that we are proud to present you the trial issue of the new Abarth World. A publishing project concerning performance&prestazioni, a preferential channel that collects ideas, suggestions and proposals, tells stories, presents novelties and previews all over the world. But in particular a way to share the great passion that has always united us under the symbol of the scorpion. Have fun and enjoy it!

Indeed he embarked on In 1928, Karl Abarth, who at the time was a seemingly impossible mission: challenging very young and worked at the Moto Thun and defeating the Orient Express on the factory as a mechanic, rode a motorbike to 1,372 km stretch between Ostend and Paris. replace an injured rider on the occasion of Karl Abarth scored one victory after another the qualification for the Austrian Motorcycle until once again a serious accident brought Grand Prix and got the best time twice, his sidecar adventure to an end; yet it was ahead of the best riders of that time. only the beginning of a long line of victories.

No! An Abarth rabbit!’ or ‘A laced coffee, please, I mean an Abarth coffee!’ The brilliant manufacturer produced a range and so on. The expression ‘small but nasty’, of cars, which immediately started to record which has now entered everyday language, their first victories; one of these cars was the was coined for the small Abarth 500. This extremely successful Abarth 204 model 1100 car has certainly become a legend, but all saloon car. Thanks to this, Abarth’s industrial Abarth cars run all over the world and on activity increased. all tracks. Witness the Fiat 1100, the Abarth Simca or prototypes that enabled him to In the 50s the first contacts with major win more than 800 races in 1967.

The year philosophy, punch and passion. RACING 14 15 RACING MADE OUR NAME. SO WHEN WE DECIDED TO RETURN TO THE RACETRACK, IT HAD TO BE IN A SHOWSTOPPER OF A CAR: THE ABARTH 500 ASSETTO CORSE, A SUPER SPORTS CAR THAT TAKES UP THE RACING BATON FROM THE LEGENDARY ABARTH 595 IN STYLE. NOT ONLY THAT, IT’S IN RACING BEEN DESIGNED WITH LOW RUNNING COSTS IN MIND, PERFECTLY IN KEEPING WITH OUR PROUD TRADITION OF OPENING UP RACING TO ENTHUSIASTS EVERYWHERE. WE TRUST! Racing is our passion, the track is our natural habitat. In this section we talk about racing and life on the track, about official Abarth competitions, and basically about anything and everything to do with the world of competition.

Welcome to our natural habitat, the race track, where every car is free to unleash its power and show the world what it is made of. 35 years of single-brand trophies is quite an achievement, especially when they have one, constant, important objective: to give talented young drivers a chance to make a name for themselves and take the first steps in a sporting career. And all without having to spend a fortune. The Abarth 500 Selenia Trophy, launched in 2010, perfectly embodies this philosophy. The packed race calendar gives youngsters a chance to gain precious experience on some of the biggest and best International circuits, while collaboration with ACI-CSAI has made it possible to offer an incredible final prize for the year’s best under 25 driver: an Abarth 500 Rally. It is no surprise then, that half-way through the season, it is a nineteen year-old – Michele Tassone from Piedmont – who has shone, winning 3 races out of 4 starts.

The 2011 edition of the trophy got under way in April with the Mille Miglia (which counts towards the European Rally Championship) and ends in September with two not-to-be- missed races for tradition and location: the Sanremo Rally and the Antibes Rally. In the middle, there are two races in Switzerland (the Rally Jurassien and the Rally du Chablais) and two in Italy (the Rally dell’Appennino Reggiano and the Rally delle Valli Cuneesi).

Not just Rally The Abarth 500 Selenia Trophies set a prestigious benchmark on the racetrack, on circuits around the world. . After 4 rounds (Valencia, Misano, Imola and Spa-Francorchamps) of the Abarth 500 Europe Selenia Trophy and 4 of the Abarth 500 Selenia Italia Trophy (Vallelunga, Varano, Misano and Imola), the season will wind up with two major events on October 2 at Mugello and October 16 at Monza, two days in pure Racing spirit with rounds of both Trophies. In addition to the consolidated European and Italian Trophies, which are now in their third edition, the big news for 2011 is the launch of the Singe-Brand Championship in Scandinavia, with 6 meets of two races each, and the International Series that begins at the end of the year in Latin America, with races scheduled for Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, the Dominican Republic and Venezuela.

As usual, the focus will be on young talents having the chance to embark a sport season on a small, but well performing and affordable car. RACING 16 17 FORMULA ACI CSAI ABARTH

We are not content with resting on our laurels. That’s why, despite the excellent results in terms of participation and visibility achieved by the Italian Formula ACI-CSAI Abarth Championship 2010, we have decided to go even further. For 2011 the demanding single-seater race organised by Abarth, Fiat Powertrain Technologies and Tatuus (as part of CSAI’s “Progetto Giovani”) has doubled the number of races and has even made its debut on some of the main European circuits, further strengthening the competition’s inter- national credentials.

Already, in the first six months of this year, the future champions of the Formula Abarth European Series Selenia have had the chance to test their mettle on demanding circuits such as Valencia, Misano, Spa-Francorchamps and Zeltweg. And after the summer, the championship will end in style on the legendary circuits of Mugello, Monza and Barcelona. A truly unique op- portunity to gain precious experience, make a name for themselves and reach the goal they are all dreaming of: becoming future racing stars. Good luck!

Technical specifications The Aci Csai and Abarth single-seater training car was constructed by Tatuus on a carbon fibre chassis, with a 180 bhp FPT Racing 1.4 Fire Turbo en- gine based on the one already in use if the Abarth 500 Trophy, and Sadev transmission with a 6-speed sequential gearbox. The 1.4 Turbo engine is produced by the Racing division of Fiat Powertrain Technologies and is a brand-new version with a dry structural casing in aluminium for the single- seaters used in the Formula Aci Csai Abarth. The engine has 4 cylinders in line, is supercharged by a turbocharger, and can deliver a maximum power output of 180 bhp at 5500 rpm and a peak torque of 250 Nm at 3500 rpm. Notable features of this exclusive engine include the two-stage oil recovery pump and the racing-type flywheel with sintered twin-disc clutch. 18 19 MAKE IT YOUR RACE: and then there were 20.

Take to the track like a real racing driver, but – with any luck – only after passing an initial assessment test, two days of Safe Driving lessons and a specific Racing Driving course at Varano dè Melegari (PR, Italy), where luck has nothing to do with it!

The “Make it your race” contest promoted by Abarth and the daily Gazzetta dello Sport sees talented youngsters aged between 18 and 35 taking part in a sporting challenge where passion is the name of the game. The initial 3500 entrants were whittled down to 70, then 40, and now only 20. To give you an idea of just what ‘Make it your race’ is all about, here’s what someone who actually took part had to say about it: Paolo Alberto Fina is our official blogger, and this is what he had to say.

“I admit it. When they talked to me for the first time about the ‘Make it Your Race’ project I was quite surprised. How can they think of letting 20 amateur drivers race for real? Won’t it be dangerous? What might happen on the first bend?.

Then, after two races, I suddenly understood: this is Abarth, this is what being Abarth is all about. Everybody can and should feel like a driver because it’s written in Abarth’s DNA. The ‘Scorpion’ also means approaching people, giving them something out of the ordinary, in terms of either performance or feelings. The two driving courses and the races at Monza and Varano allowed 70 drivers to experience for themselves what Karl Abarth had in mind when he founded his company. Feeling like a driver shouldn’t be a privilege but rather an opportunity, available to as many people as possible. Fifty years on, Abarth continues to be the same Abarth that it was then, genuine and democratic. Meanwhile, new technologies have helped it to launch ‘Make it Your Race’, accessible on the Internet and social networks, and easier to be ‘experienced’. The two races will represent the pinnacle of what ‘Make it Your Race’ stands for, an adrenaline-packed experience and one that will result in more aware, certainly better drivers.”
