A WORLD OF PERFORMANCE SINCE 1949 ABARTHWORLD.COM 3 With these words, Carlo Abarth, in the 50’s was celebrating 5 years of activity in the editorial of the first catalogue / magazine of Abarth & C. EDITORIAL 4 5 THE ABARTH WORLD Welcome to the third edition of THE ABARTH WORLD. The publication, which began a year ago, continues to this date teaching about adrenaline and performance. These pages aim to provide information and share ideals, something that will be reinforced even more by our presence at the 2012 Paris Motor Show and the Bologna Motor Show. To get back to the present, let’s start with what is on show at Geneva: from the Abarth 695 Assetto Corse, which will make its debut in the in the single marque Trofeo, to the 595 Turismo and Competizione, and the Limited Edition Punto EVO Scorpione. The other exciting event for our followers is “Make It Your Race”, an initiative that has grown exponentially becoming, to all intents and purposes, a huge talent show for aspiring young European drivers. The success enjoyed last year (more than 5,000 participants in Italy) made us think that “democratisation of racing”, the formula chosen, in his day, by Karl Abarth, is as relevant as ever today. Let’s discover the less well known, but no less interesting, side of the founder of our brand, Karl Abarth the fashion style icon. And also: our world, built on passion and commitment to things that are well made, a sort of parallel universe made up of people, products and brands that share the same principles as us. Let us take you on a journey through style and “sports without excess”. Lastly, a “map” of how many people on the worldwide web refer to us and the latest news about the scorpion accessories and merchandising. All that’s left at this stage is to say we hope you enjoying reading all about us. Antonino Labate Abarth&C Torino 2012 A world of performance since 1949 WORLD PREMIERE 6 7 RULER OF THE RACE TRACKS THE ABARTH 695 ASSETTO CORSE WILL MAKE ITS DEBUT IN THE SINGLE MARQUE TROFEO. A THOROUGHBRED WITH 205 BHP, SEQUENTIAL TRANSMISSION AND 17” ALLOY WHEELS. THE CAR LOOKS LIKE A TRUE COMPETITION CAR WITH ITS LARGE AERODYNAMIC SPOILER. Destined for competitions on the race track, the Abarth 695 Assetto Corse will make its debut this year in the single marque Trofeo. It represents the continuity of the historic 695 marque, which begun with the Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari and continued with the 695 Competizione, the first street legal Scorpione racing car. The car displays a distinctly sporting character, with an aggressive front carrying the badge with the Abarth logo, while underneath, the widened bumper features an aerodynamic spoiler and screen-printed grilles replacing the plastic surrounds on the production models. Under the bonnet, fitted with the classic racing style bonnet hooks, the 1368 cc turbocharged engine delivers an incredible 205 horsepower. Meanwhile, the rear of the car features a spoiler and badge with the Abarth logo. The 17” light alloy racing wheels are combined with new perforated, floating, self-ventilating brake discs at the front and perforated disc brakes at the rear, together with a new brake regulator for better race performance and safety. The model has a Sadev sequential transmission, with specific gear ratios, that together with a metal-ceramic dual-disc clutch, enables the car to achieve record-breaking levels of performance for its category. On the inside, the Abarth 695 ‘Assetto Corse’ is fitted with a safety-cage homologated for competition, welded to the bodyshell and optimized to improve the car’s front torsional rigidity. To make it even lighter – the car weighs around 30kg less than the Abarth 500 ‘Assetto Corse’ – the doors have been lightened by using lexan for the side windows. The anatomic seat and racing steering wheel also give the Abarth 695 ‘Assetto Corse’ the characteristics of a true sports car, small and plucky, just like the 500 ‘Assetto Corse’, which has been so successful in the singlebrand trophies over the last three years. WORLD PREMIERE 8 9 PERFORMANCE WITHIN EVERYONE’S REACH THE ABARTH RANGE IS RENEWED AND THE TRIM LEVELS HAVE MULTIPLED. ALONGSIDE THE 500 THERE WILL BE THE NEW 595 “TURISMO” AND “COMPETIZIONE” WITH A 160 BHP ENGINE, AND WHICH ALSO COME IN A CONVERTIBLE VERSION, AND THE ABARTH 695 COMPETIZIONE. THE ABARTH PUNTO EVO IS JOINED BY THE SUPERSPORT AND THE LIMITED EDITION ABARTH SCORPIONE. OBJECTIVE: 100% SATISFACTION OF PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR EVERYONE. Once upon a time there was the 500 Abarth. The shape was that of the popular Fiat 500, the substance was not. Starting with the power, exactly double that of the utility car made in Mirafiori. Its first appearance was staggering: for a week the small Abarth went round the Monza circuit without stopping, setting six international records. Then, the Corso Marche workshop produced the 595, the 595ss and the 695 with an escalation of speed and power. Fifty years later, the number of versions of the Abarth 500 is also multiplying and reaching a wider public. This is happening while remaining faithful to the original formula of a small car, high performance, safety in all conditions, just like every Abarth should be. So, in the place of a single version (which can be modified thanks to the “wooden crate”), the new range features two trim levels and power outputs. The 595 slots in alongside the Abarth 500, and is available in two versions: “turismo” and “competizione”. The mechanics are identical, based on the 1.4 T-Jet 160 bhp engine, but these two cars have completely different characters; one is for those in search of an exclusive, elegant style, the other for those attracted by the race track. They are also available with different transmissions: manual and Abarth competition MTA, a sophisticated, robotised transmission offering a choice of either automatic or sequential operation with paddleshift controls on the steering. Three similar cars, but different at the same time. The Abarth 500, powerful, fast and essential. The Abarth 595 “turismo”, wicked yet elegant. The Abarth 595 “competizione”, uncompromising sportiness. Each with its own inimitable style and character; the choice is yours! ABARTH 500 The New Abarth 500 has all the technical features of the previous model and appeals specifically to those who are looking for affordable sportiness, but with the performance, technical specifications and qualities on the road that are only to be expected from an Abarth. Driven by a potent power unit, the 1.4 turbo petrol engine with a power output of 140 bhp (rising to 160 bhp with the esseesse kit), is combined with a five-speed manual gearbox offering maximum driving pleasure at a price that is within reach. And this is without compromising on the specification level with the equipment including, among other things, air-conditioning, audio system with CD player, MP3 player and Blue&Me, fog lights, parking sensors and the choice of two types of alloy wheels, both 16”. It comes in pastel shades that echo the tradition of the Abarth competizione of the sixties. The interior features the dashboard colour coordinated to match the bodywork and with the seats being covered in elegant fabric that compliments the colour of the car. The gear lever and the steering wheel are both trimmed in leather. The new 595 Turismo WORLD PREMIERE 10 11 With the 1.4 T-Jet 16 valve engine and IHI turbocharger fitted as standard on the Abarth 595 turismo it has a power output of 160 bhp and a powerful torque (230 Nm at 3000 rpm in sport mode) producing a striking performance. The top speed is 127 MPH (205 km/h ) or 130 MPH (209 km/h) for the convertible version, while the car goes from 0-62 MPH in 7.4 seconds. The transmission features the Abarth Competizione MTA gearbox as standard whilst the traditional manual gearbox, with a gear lever and clutch pedal, is available as an alternative. The front brake discs are crossdrilled and ventilated, the rear discs are crossdrilled, while either red or yellow calipers, show off the exclusive 17” wheel rims, and which are available in four different designs. With the tursimo personalisation, the Abarth 595 has been enhanced with special paint treatments (metallic, pearlescent, two-tone, etc.) like the two-tone Rosso Officina (works red) and Grigio Pista (racing grey), which combined with its great personality, means that it certainly turns heads. The grilles in the front and rear bumpers are finished in Titanium Grey. The interior is elegant and tasteful, with leather seats and panels. Attention to detail is underlined by the special flocked effect of the centre tunnel and which is available as an option on the dashboard, while the pedals, the footrest and the running boards are in Alutex. The racing spirit is in Abarth’s blood. Racing is its world. The new 595 competizione is pure performance , without compromise. The mechanics are the same as the turismo version, with 160 bhp and the choice between the Abarth Competizione sequential gearbox and the manual version for those who prefer a more direct relationship with the car. The exhaust is the Record Monza type with four outlets which, thanks to dual mode technology, enhances the power and torque curve above 4000 rpm. The sporty nature is underlined by a range of exterior paintwork finishes, and with the exterior decorative elements highlighted in an opaque grey finish and matching mirror covers. The 17” alloy wheels come in four designs and the brake calipers are available in red or yellow. The interior of the 595 also expresses the racing spirit with aluminium pedals, the alloy gear lever (if a manual gearbox is fitted) and the special treatment of the dashboard. The front seats are bespoke Abarth Corse items made specially by Sabelt: two wraparound seats that hug the body when cornering; total control without giving up on comfort for everyday use. The seats are available in fabric, or optional leather trim. WORLD PREMIERE 12 13 WICKED LIKE NEVER BEFORE THE ABARTH PUNTO IS THE MODEL THAT SIGNALLED THE REBIRTH OF THE MARQUE. OVER TIME IT HAS CONTINUED TO DEVELOP IN TERMS OF STYLE, MECHANICS AND PERFORMANCE. THE NEW RANGE IS DESIGNED TO EXTEND ITS “NICHE” MARKET WITH AN INJECTION OF POWER (180 BHP AS STANDARD ON THE TWO NEW VERSIONS), HIGHER SPECIFICATION LEVELS AND A RANGE THAT EXTENDS HIGHER THANKS TO THE LAUNCH OF THE SUPERSPORT VERSION AND A NEW LIMITED EDITION, THE ABARTH PUNTO EVO SCORPIONE, WITH EXCLUSIVE FEATURES. ABARTH PUNTO EVO SCORPIONE ABARTH PUNTO SUPERSPORT The Punto EVO SuperSport is designed to appeal to fans of performance who also want to stand out in terms of style. Those who appreciate the Abarth marque, naturally, but also motoring enthusiasts who are coming from other products in the search for “something extra” that really makes a difference and which allows them to stand out from the crowd. The new version demonstrates character and personality from the first time you set eyes upon it. The Campovolo Grey bodywork features an opaque black roof and bonnet with a hint of the same body colour as the car. The sporty nature of the model is further emphasised by the opaque black 17” alloy wheels with ultra low profile 205/45 tyres and red brake calipers on the high performance front and rear disc brakes. The interior boasts exclusive details like the steel pedals. The running boards are also made from steel with the “Abarth” logo on them. Top of the range in terms of performance and style. This limited edition offers an exclusive aesthetic treatment achieved through a unique craftsmanship process - and this combined with the performance and dynamic specifications of the “esseesse” kit. The look is unmistakable, a special combination of Nero Scorpione, an opaque shade, with a high-gloss stripe in the middle of the bonnet and roof panels. A striking contrast achieved through a handcrafted process. The 18” wheels of the Esseesse kit are also finished in opaque black. This colour makes the yellow brake calipers stand out even more. Talking of brakes, the front discs are floating, cross-drilled and ventilated with Brembo calipers and with the rear discs cross-drilled. The equipment on the Abarth Punto EVO Scorpione also includes lowered suspension springs and Koni dampers. The interior is what you would expect from such a car, refined yet sporty and starting with the stainless steel pedals and the Abarth Corse seats by Sabelt covered in black cloth and with black backrests. NEWS 14 15 ABARTH SHOTS KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THE ABARTH WORLD ABARTH RACING AMERICA THE TOKYO MOTOR SHOW ABARTH CONQUERS SOUTH AFRICA A new continent, a new challenge, a new objective: bringing the philosophy of the brand, its legendary wealth of on-track victories and, above all, the performance of its models, to the streets (and also the race circuits) of the United States. After the preview of the Abarth 500 at the Los Angeles Auto Show, Abarth is now in all American homes thanks to the TV advert (see photo) that went out during the Super Bowl. The commercial was seen by 113.3 million spectators and received more than 7.6 million online visitors. At the end of February US journalists had the chance, for the first time, to drive the car on the Spring Mountain circuit. Another television advert is scheduled to be broadcast in March, with the “bad boy” Charlie Sheen and in April Abarth will finally reach the US dealerships. The American adventure has begun: ready to take to the road with the Scorpione? For the third year in a row, Abarth took part in the Tokyo Motor Show. The stand showed off the Punto EVO SuperSport and the 500C esseesse and attracted more than 255 thousand visitors. In the foreground were the interviews with Ponto Häggström, CEO Fiat Group Automobiles Japan, and Tiziana Alamprese Fiat Country Manager. Journalists, fans and drivers showed great interest in the Abarth stand and the cars on display. Abarth is synonymous with passion on all latitudes. The journalists who took part in the press event in South Africa dedicated to the Abarth 500 were very enthusiastic. The look, performance and behaviour got excellent comments. So too did the possibility of personalising the car using the contents of the Abarth “box”. An homage to the tradition of the marque, certainly, but also and most especially something exclusive that gives added value in terms of sportiness and safety. ABARTH STORE IN HONG KONG ABARTH PUNTO TROPHY IN ARGENTINA Launched in November, the Abarth store in Hong Kong drew in hundreds of visitors on the opening day, plus numerous journalists and six television channels, invited to celebrate the launch of the brand in China. The Abarth single marque championship will start in April in Argentina with a car specially developed for this trophy taking to the tracks. It is a Punto Assetto Corse with a power output of 190 bhp, anti-roll bar bolted onto the body and 330 mm front brake discs with calipers with four pistons. The races will be held at the same time as the TC 200 championship at the most important race tracks in the country: from Santa Fé to Mendoza, to Buenos Aires. ABARTH IN FINLAND The opening of the first Abarth store in Finland was celebrated at the Autokeskus airport. More than two thousand VIP guests took part in the event. As well as by the catering, the guests were entertained by the jewel that is the exclusive Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari and by the beauty of the iconic Abarth 500. The Ambassador Giorgio Visetti was also in attendance, confirming the importance of the scorpion in spreading the word abroad about Made in Italy. The Finish journalists were invited to visit the new Abarth premises and also had the chance to test drive the various models. SOCIAL HUB 16 17 ABARTH IN FACEBOOK!

NOT JUST A RACING DRIVER, MANUFACTURER AND CONSTRUCTOR OF SPORTS CARS, KARL ABARTH WAS ALSO AN UNDISPUTED MASTER OF STYLE. SO MUCH SO THAT HE WON A FASHION OSCAR FOR HIS AUTOBOUTIQUE COLLECTION. “We are in a land of art and elegance. We love beautiful things”, Karl Abarth was often heard to say. This is what his wife Anneliese says in her book “Carlo Abarth, my life with the ingenious car manufacturer (edited by Libreria Automotoclub Storico Italiano Torino), Karl adored Italy. He had typically Italian taste, even though he was born and grew up in Vienna. He liked the Made in Italy design and fashion, the tailoring of the clothes, the timeless elegance of Italian women. And the attention to detail he showed in all his cars was also mirrored in his own appearance: his suits, made to measure shirts and ties went with him everywhere, even on holiday. His white silk pochettes embroidered with his initials, AK, were one of his hallmarks. He owned a very large collection of fine shoes. He also had a passion for gloves: he adored those of the English golfer Tyler Palmer, who in those days was a celebrity on the greens, and he used to have them made in London in extremely soft leather. All in all “he always looked like he had stepped off the cover of a fashion magazine”, wrote Anneliese: he never wore clothes that were other than immaculate and he never chose them randomly. He paid the same attention to the lines of his cars as to the cut of his clothes: shape and aesthetics were fundamental to him. He put so much passion into everything that he was a perfectionist: “When he took an interest in something he wanted to become an expert in it”, she admitted. So, from being a devotee of fashion, Karl gradually turned into a designer: he began designing clothes for his wife and commissioned a designer to adapt his sketches to then have them manufactured. His fashion creations were inspired by models in shop windows or in magazines, but mainly by what he saw on the streets. For example, when he was returning from the Vallelunga track he used to love stopping for an aperitif in Rome, in via Vittorio Veneto, to look at the people walking up and down. In those days Rome was the fashion capital: that was where the most “in” fashion houses in the whole of Italy were to be found. There was one area that Karl found particularly interesting: sports fashion. This was how, starting with his sketches, the idea of a line of clothing, very practical, but at the same time very elegant, developed, perfect for behind the wheel of a car, but also for leisure activities. He called it Autoboutique. It included sports clothing in typical Abarth colours, and then scarves, foulards, belts, umbrellas and other accessories. For women there were also baseball jackets, shirts, short skirts and especially trousers which, launched at the start of the sixties by André Courrèges in France, were by now becoming a must have item for women in Italy as well. Whoever didn’t feel comfortable in the flower child clothes or tailored suits for women, chose this new sports fashion. Karl later added a homeware collection, with bath towels and monogrammed bath robes with the double A logo, an homage to his wife Anneliese, who was also his favourite photographic model. Karl’s fashion creations were not simply a hobby. For Abarth they became an unexpected source of income as his Boutiques were doing very well, both in Italy and in the United States, and they were also an efficient form of publicity, especially for the female public, who were becoming an increasingly important target for the automotive industry. Karl began to advertise his collections more often in women’s magazines and the Italian clothing industry was not slow in noticing him. So much so that, in 1969, an international jury awarded him the Fashion Oscar. This recognition rewarded his talent and his passion: this is the same passion that lives on today in “Abarth Tales” (see article on page 37). RACING 20 21 MAKE IT YOUR RACE THE DREAM GOES ON AFTER THE SUCCESS OF THE FIRST EDITION, THE SECOND APPOINTMENT WITH THE ABARTH SHOW FOR YOUNG EMERGING DRIVERSIS ABOUT TO ARRIVE. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND DON’T LET IT GET AWAY FROM YOU. “Not the speed, not the thrill. Our goal is the dream”. Dream of driving on a real race track, alongside professional drivers. Dream about wearing the white and red overalls; just putting them on must be such a thrill. Dream about being in control of a car, the Abarth 500 Assetto Corse, which has so much history that it speaks for itself. Climbing to the top step on the podium and lifting the cup towards the sky. There are so many reasons for taking part in Make It Your Race. Thousands of young people, lovers of engines, horsepower and acceleration took part last year in the Abarth Race Days of Varano de’ Melegari registered in the hope of being selected to fly round the track and to know all about it. And Make It Your Race is returning now, with an even more exciting version, a more engaging programme, an entirely new format. The dream goes on. Let’s take a look right away at all the many new features this year. Make It Your Race 2012 will be a talent show in which non professional drivers aged between 18 and 40, resident in Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium and Switzerland can take part. You must know English. March is the month when pre-registration opened and now, on the website www. makeityourrace.it users can leave their de- RACING 22 23 Right: a moment at the race track during a previous edition. Below: the Abarth 500 Assetto Corse at the Bologna Motor Show and pre-registration for Make it your race 2012. On the opposite page: the Abarth stand at the Bologna show tails and upload a video which should be original and set pulses racing. Only the most compelling entries will be selected by a committee of technical experts and then the public will vote via the web, in a stage that will be crucial for the participants to make their video go viral so as to get as many votes as possible. Next stage will see entrants selected to take part in the driving safety course at the Abarth Driving Academy in Italy and under the watchful eye of Gordon de Adamich. From these, the best six from each country will be chosen to enter the training camp of Make It Your Race, located in Italy. There, they will be divided into teams led by a coach, one for each country, and judged by a panel of experts, who will decide, every day, who to evict. THE PREPARATIONS ARE UNDERWAY Meanwhile Gordon de Adamich, together with his drivers at the Varano de’ Melegari School of Safe Driving are putting the final touches to the 2012 version of Make It Your Race. “It will be a blast - he says. I can’t wait to get to know the young people and put them through their paces on the track. We are definitely going to have a lot of fun”. If last year is anything to go by, this year’s Make It Your Race is going to be talked about for some time. “The contest - continues Gordon - has all the ingredients to bring out the qualities of novice drivers. I think the initiative is commendable because it makes the competitions truly accessible to everyone, just like Karl Abarth would have wanted. We have the right set up, professional instructors who will monitor the rookies carefully during their technical preparation, channelling their exuberance in the right direction, pushing them to give of their best, all in a totally safe setting. And then there is the 500 Assetto Corse, a car you can trust, safe even when it is pushed to the limits”. RACING 24 Left: the Abarth 500 Assetto Corse on the track. Some young drivers during the pre-selection process at the Bologna Motor Show Only six will remain by the end. The best in terms of character, ability, concentration; those who can unleash their talent together with the professional drivers in the Trofeo Abarth 500 at the Franciacorta track on 24 June. Make It Your Race 2012 be filmed and transmitted on the web and on TV as well. Each of the six episodes will show images of the challenge, comment on the development of the drivers and show their emotions, give voice to their opinions and their motiva- tion.

ANGLOPHILES CALL IT DOWNSIZING. OUT WITH OSTENTATION: SIMPLE YET EXCLUSIVE THINGS ARE REDISCOVERED AND VALUES SUCH AS QUALITY, CRAFTMANSHIP, AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS BACK IN VOGUE. After years during which luxury items were a source of pride for those who could afford them, when the most famous brands made a statement through clothes or the trendiest bags, when taking an exclusive trip was something to talk to your friends about, now sobriety has made a comeback. Coco Chanel said: “Some people think that luxury is the opposite of poverty. Well, it isn’t. It is the opposite of vulgarity”, suggested the famous French style icon. Nowadays more than ever, against the background of the global crisis, the potential sense of shame with regard to excessive luxury, or “shouting about it”, is being rediscovered. Especially for those who are in a position to buy whatever they want, the ethical imperative of saving is back. This does not mean that there will be a sharp drop in top of the range products. Rather, we will see a downsizing of ostentation in luxury goods. This term downsizing comes from the British and it is something that is affecting all areas to some extent: from fashion to travel and from jewellery to cars. Nowadays, true luxury is seen as those simple, yet exclusive items. It’s the pleasure that something gives you, not the fact that you own it. As well as the saying “small is beautiful”, now there is quality, “tailor made”, attention to detail. Uniqueness rather than visibility. For example, exclusive travel now involves more authentic, stimulating and responsible trips. One of the latest trends to reach the United States is eco chic travel: it’s called glamping and consists of a sort of five star camping. In other words ideal for experiencing direct contact with nature, without giving up on the comforts of a luxury resort. The rediscovery of authenticity as opposed to opulence is also at the basis of the Return to life advertising campaign of the Virtuoso group, who specialise in luxury travel: it starts with the assumption that many top travellers nowadays want to actually discover the true nature of the places they visit, far away from traditional tourist clichés. Ecoluxury should also get a mention, the quality brand that brings together the best retreats in the world, reserved for customers who are fortunate enough to be in the high end band, but with decidedly eco-friendly facilities. As far as clothing is concerning, the First Lady of America, Michelle Obama, echoes that sobriety in the way she dresses. And even if not everyone is taking up the invitation, the days of that shameless opulence of the most fashionable brands might seem to be LIFESTYLE 30 31 numbered. There is a return to craftsmanship in this industry as well, to the extent that a style icon like Valentino has carved how many hours it takes to make them into the soles of his shoes and a brand like Louis Vuitton bases its communication around the concept of being handmade. The new lovers of luxury prefer the quality of fabrics and hides, the uniqueness of an item that is handmade. Like bags and accessories in Tramontano leather, made exclusively in the Naples workshops and distributed throughout the world under a unique brand with almost one hundred and fifty years of history behind it. A brand that is synonymous with elegance and Italian workmanship and which is appreciated abroad by so many celebrities for whom Tramontano often makes made to measure travel bags, bags and suitcases: from Woody Allen to Tom Cruise, from Bono of U2 to Sigourney Weaver, from Hillary Clinton to Queen Margaret II of Denmark. It is not by chance that Abarth turned to Tramontano for its travel accessories: from the bags made for the Limited Edition Cabrio Italia to the beach bag that goes with the extremely luxurious Sacs tender - Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari, from the Tribute to Abarth travel pack, coordinated with the interior of the 595 Turismo and Competizione in that very fashionable grey, combined with the 695 Tributo Maserati. This typically glamorous Made in Italy concept with great attention to detail has also been the inspiration for the Abarth Tales line, a collection that includes about forty very exclusive items of clothing, which echo the same attention to detail as those worn by Karl Abarth when he was a driver and reflecting his design: shirts, tracksuits, polo shirts, sweatshirts, jackets and trousers, designed to be as comfortable as possible for driving in. In other words functional clothing that is very stylish and which is made from premium materials providing a modern take on the brand and which contains the same traditional passion, refinement and craftsmanship. This is true Abarth luxury. A striking example is the Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari, an exclusive car with almost obsessive attention to detail, which, on the one hand has allowed the scorpion to extend its range entering the most glamorous sports section, and, on the other hand, offers customers of the Prancing Horse a small, snappy alternative for all their mobility requirements, including the most practical town driving. The history goes on with the 695 Edizione Maserati unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. Another foray into the world of sports cars and luxury in a limited edition. A mechanical masterpiece with the soul and the symbol of the scorpion; not just “mall, but wicked”. “Small, and glamorous” too. Above: Coco Chanel and, left, the interior of the Abarth Cabrio Italia.

Without forgetting the cleaning of the exterior. The happy partnership between the brand and Green Star does not, in actual fact, stop under the bonnet, but extends to the exterior with a special product for all surfaces of the car: windows, dashboard, paintwork, rubber, wheel rims. MERCHANDISING 36 37 MERCHANDISING MAKING THE ORDINARY EXTRAORDINARY THAT’S WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING FOR OVER 50 YEARS. IT’S A PHILOSOPHY THAT WE’VE TRANSFERRED FROM THE WORLD OF MOTORS TO THE WORLD OF COMPUTERS, CLOTHING AND MUCH MORE BESIDES. BECAUSE AT ABARTH WE BELIEVE THAT OUR SKILLS CAN BE APPLIED TO EVERYTHING. THESE ARE SOME OF OUR SUCCESS STORIES WITH THE SCORPION IN YOUR HEART For those who have the Scorpion close to their heart, even when they are not behind the wheel of their car, Abarth offers a line of young, dynamic sports clothing with lots of different sweatshirts, polo shirts, baseball caps and t-shirts. All backed by the quality of the Kappa brand. This year’s spring-summer collection has three lines. A brand new BAMBINO line, the first edition of a collection that takes the most successful adult clothes and makes them available for the youngest fans of the Scorpion. The RACING REPLICA line is the restyling of the previous edition dedicated to Abarth enthusiasts and includes all the most successful garments. Lastly, the VINTAGE line includes the most exclusive garments, inspired by what the drivers in the sixties wore. When they wore overalls, either onepiece or two-piece: a jacket and trousers, in cotton, because flame-resistant Nomex was just starting to appear. The main colours were white, cream and light blue, often with coloured stripes personalising the clothing. Jimmy Clark, for example, had a red stripe on his overalls, whilst Steve McQueen who alternated stints behind the wheel with movie sets, had two parallel stripes on his chest: one red, the other blue. Gloves then, were made from leather. Many drivers wore golf gloves, made to measure in soft, thin goatskin. A REALLY SPECIAL TRAVEL PACK There’s a style lesson to be learnt when you see the Abarth and Tramontano brands together; the leather goods brand with over 150 years of history, known throughout the world. Following on from the success of the Limited Edition Abarth 500 Cabrio Italia, a line of elegant leather bags matching the leather interior of the Abarth 500 is available. The range is synonymous with Italian elegance and craftsmanship. For those who care about every single detail. You can buy the official Scorpion merchandise simply with one click. Simply go to; ABARTHSTORE.COM a virtual shop window. Happy shopping! ABARTH TALES SPRING-SUMMER COLLECTION As you read in “The Scorpion Tales” article, Karl Abarth, the ingenious car manufacturer, was also a skilled designer. The line of men’s sports clothing known as Abarth Tales® was born from his original sketches, developing them and giving them a contemporary feel. No nostalgia was involved, no retro clothing: simply a collection that embodies the same values of functionality, refinement, originality, craftsmanship and tradition. The very same spirit that Karl used in preparing cars. The Abarth Tales® spring-summer collection in particular contains 3-buttoned single-breasted jackets with stand and fall collars and a single pocket. Jackets in high-tech cloth with two pockets at the front, unlined loom work and metal buttons, in the sports tradition. Fresh cotton sweatshirts with pads on the elbows to facilitate movement. Jackets with an impeccable look in white, red or smoky grey. Available with matching, light sports cut trousers in the same colours, the Abarth Tales® bestselling “t-pants”, perfect for driving and also for those who prefer to cycle in their leisure time. So many versatile, sports clothes where every detail has been considered so as to ensure maximum comfort behind the wheel, from the position of the pockets to the stitching, no detail is too small. A collection exuding Italian style, and the very best craftsmanship: from the design, to the choice of fabric, to the manufacturing, to the perfection with prestige details. The theme running through this spring-summer collection, as always, is the reference to the Abarth philosophy: performance, speed and refinement. And, obviously, the symbol of the Scorpion, chosen by Karl Abarth himself as a lucky charm because it was his sign of the zodiac. Dedicated to those who do not let themselves be dictated to by fashion but love an elegant look and always want to be stylish, the Abarth Tales exclusive clothing is on sale in a limited number of boutiques in Italy.

That’s why Abarth has developed a specific kit using the Brembo system, enabling faster dissipation of the heat generated when braking, resulting in greatly improved response when stopping. This has been achieved by the introduction of a floating disc and a larger brake calliper (which has the benefit of realigning the brake pad with the disc). ABARTH SUSPENSION KIT A specific kit designed to improve steering response and precision, and creating a better feeling between the driver and the car. This kit is dedicated to all those who wish to get the very best from their car, not only in terms of performance, but also in terms of ride comfort and safety, by providing better road-holding, greater stability and improved handling. ABARTH SUSPENSION KIT Real drivers never underestimate the importance of their car’s suspension, because they know that the car’s responsiveness depends on it, as does steering precision and safety behind the wheel. The Abarth Koni Suspension Kit offers all these characteristics in spades, optimising the car’s behaviour and creating a better feeling between it and the driver. The result is better performance, more comfort, better road-holding and greater stability.
