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.

Abarth 850 TC e 1000

The Fiat Abarth 850 TC played a major role in the evolution of Italian motoring following the Second World War. In a historical period in which passion for cars and speed knew no social boundaries in Italy, the Abarth 850 Turismo Competizione models represented the most eye-catching and widespread aspect of a sporting phenomenon that caught up an entire generation of young people, making a decisive contribution to the diffusion of motorsport across a broad social spectrum.

The era of the unforgettable 850 TC and 1000 models capable of remarkable performance for cars derived from mass production utility cars, is described in this book, along with a complete record of 850 TC and 1000 Abarth's competition success throughout the world in the Turismo, Turismo Speciale and Preparato categories and their effect on the automotive market of the time.
A fascinating story that has lost none of its appeal today and one highly evocative of times in which we all might have thought about driving to a track on a Sunday to race in person.
