Photo Gallery «Speed meets dolce vita - 125 years of Fiat and 75 years of Abarth at Autoworld Brussels»

Name: Abarth 750 GT Bialbero 1958
Brand: Abarth

50 years after the first Fiat was built, Carlo Abarth began to make the Turin products faster. As the two brands have been closely linked ever since, Autoworld Brussels is dedicating a special exhibition to both anniversaries - the founding of the "Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino" 125 years ago and of "Abarth & C." 75 years ago. We visited both and report on what visitors can expect.

Large banners with historical photos complement the exhibits - "75 years of Abarth" exhibition at Autoworld Brussels
