We just love hatchbacks.
With 130bhp, the 1984 Abarth Fiat Strada 130 TC went from zero to 60mph in less than eight seconds and could go as fast as 122mph. It had a twin cam 2-liter engine linked to a ZF 5-speed gearbox. Low profile tires on alloy wheels reduce unsprung weight and the suspension and brakes are honed to an edge to match the performance.

Abarth introduced its latest racing gem at the 51st Sanremo Rally. The new Abarth 500 R3T will lend its name to a promotional rally trophy in 2010, due to join the two track events (European and Italian) planned for the Abarth 500 Assetto Corse.
For Abarth, this marks a return to promotional trophy events, a niche it has made its own for more than thirty years.
