Abarth

Hardly a month goes by without some bygone marque being resurrected. The majority, thank the Lord Harry, sink with barely a ripple. News that Fiat finally intends to do something with Abarth made my day more pleasant.

Initially, the new Abarths will be variations of Fiat models, as often they have been in the past. There is already a competition department in operation, however, and, when Fiat puts its mind to something, it often succeeds. Fiat has been pretty good at preserving heritage.
