Coches deportivos Abarth: libros - historia y modelos

Abarth - The irresistible attraction of the Scorpion / L'irresistibile fascino dello scorpione

La empresa fue fundada en 1949 en Bolonia por Karl Abarth y más tarde se estableció en Turín. Mediante una afinación precisa, coches comunes como el Fiat 500 y el 600 se transformaron en vehículos de altas prestaciones. Así, Abarth cumplió los sueños de los aficionados y ganó fama por su velocidad y aceleración.

Desde 1971 la marca pertenece al Grupo Fiat y sigue ofreciendo versiones deportivas de modelos como el 500 y el 124 Spider. Publicado con motivo del 70.º aniversario en 2019, el libro repasa la historia de Abarth, desde sus vínculos con Cisitalia hasta la influencia de figuras como Tazio Nuvolari y los primeros proyectos de Porsche.

Tras comenzar con escapes deportivos, Abarth desarrolló coches rápidos basados en modelos de serie, a veces como kits de montaje propio. Los éxitos en competición, con pilotos como Jochen Rindt y Arturo Merzario, reforzaron su reputación.

El libro se centra en 20 modelos clave y en sus características. Destaca el OT 1600, que unía la carrocería del Fiat 850 con un motor de carreras de 160 CV y sorprendió a Gianni Agnelli en 1964 durante una prueba a 220 km/h.

Fiat Abarth 1000 Monoalbero - Radiografia tecnica del motopropulsore

This volume tells in detail the technical history of a project born from the fervent and uncommon will of a man: Carlo Abarth. Modest but brilliant, he knew how to develop an already exceptional engine, that of the FIAT 600.
This "radiography" shows how the idea was born and developed that transformed a solid production engine into a real and refined racing unit. In eight years of research the Abarth technicians brought this from 27 to 112 hp in the latest version of the engine with polispheric chamber, commonly known as "1000 Radiale".

Motori Fiat Abarth Bialbero - 700, 750 e 850 cc derivati dalla '600'

Turin, autumn 1956, when the economic conditions of the company allowed him, Mr. Abarth and his technicians set a new goal; to enter as protagonists in the limited group of "Bialbero" sports engine manufacturers.
As always, Mr. Abarth did not choose ease but chose the most difficult way, that of transforming the simple and excellent Fiat 600 production engine into a racing unit. Thus was born the 750 Bialbero engine, the first of a family of engines that won on all circuits and became World Champions in their categories.

Fiat Abarth 1000 Bialbero - Radiografia tecnica del motopropulsore

Always on the lookout for new challenges, Mr Abarth, who was present at the first assembly of the 1000 Monoalbero, called Mr Fochi and the author (Bossù) aside and asked them to verify the possibility of fitting the 750 cc Bialbero cylinder head on that block. He added that with such an engine he could set new category records before the presentation of the Coupé Monomille at the Turin Motor Show. The fitting was successful and thus another Scorpion jewel was born!

Fiat Abarth 595 / 695 monoalbero - Radiografia del motopropulsore

In 1962, out of a commercial necessity, an idea was born at Abarth that was developed by the design team, including the author, which resulted in a phenomenal success in the European automotive world.
It is for this reason that ASI Service has decided to publish this manuscript, dense with memories but above all with drawings and technical diagrams, of how the twin-cylinder powerplants of the Abarth 595 and 695 were developed and industrially produced.

Motori Abarth Simca Bialbero 1000, 1300, 1450 cc

This volume, like the four that preceded it, tells the true story of a 4-cylinder Bialbero born from the will of a man, Eng. Hruska, who deeply believed in the technical abilities of his friend Carlo Abarth and in the men that the latter had chosen as collaborators.
Born among many difficulties, this adventure, even if short-lived, magnified itself with many successes and victories throughout Europe: 9 first places in 1962, the year of its debut.

The birth and evolution of the 1300 cc and its derivatives: 1000, 1150 and 1450 cc are reported in the simplest way with diagrams, tables, materials, adjustments and the relative results of the bench and road tests.
