Description
In the 1970s, the Italian CSAI (Commissione Sportiva Automobilistica Italiana) launched a racing class for talented racing drivers. Fiat was prepared to design and develop the racing cars together with the CSAI.
In the spring of 1979, Carlo Abarth informed his friend Renzo Avidano that he had been diagnosed with cancer and that he would like to visit the Abarth factory in Turin again. During his visit, Carlo Abarth was immediately interested in the Formula Abarth, but criticized the design in particular. Together with chief designer Mario Colucci, he took cardboard and scissors and reworked the body of the Formula Abarth.
This was Carlo Abarth's last contribution as a car designer and constructor - he died shortly afterwards in Vienna. And so this is the last Abarth model that Carlo Abarth worked on:
Central monocoque chassis made of steel, filled with polyurethane. The front and rear were designed as removable tubular frames, which could be quickly replaced in the event of an accident. The body is made of self-extinguishing fiberglass reinforced with polyester (GRP).
Aluminum 4-cylinder engine with two overhead camshafts (DOHC) and two Weber carburetors, tuned from 120 to 132 hp and transversely mounted in front of the rear axle. A racing car weighing just 530 kg with 132 hp - fast and powerful.
This original Fiat Abarth 033 Formula Abarth 2000 racing car has been extensively rebuilt. In recent years, the car has been part of a collection of classic sports cars and has not been used in any races since the restoration.
The Abarth has recently had all belts replaced, including the timing belt, the carburetors checked and readjusted, the plugs, oil and filters changed and the brakes completely rebuilt (including new brake cylinders etc.). Minor work required for commissioning (e.g. oil change, brake fluid change).
With its great sound, crazy look and rarity, an ideal vehicle for historic events, classic car occasions or for the collector with taste.
