The Fiat 131 Abarth evolved from the initial two-door sedan model. The Abarth development involved many interventions, such as the adoption of a lighter chassis, larger wheel mudguards, and air intakes on the bonnet and on the sides to optimize the mechanical cooling system. The Fiat 131 Abarth used an in-line front longitudinal 4-cylinder engine with a light alloy head and 4 valves per cylinder. Initial manufacturing began in 1976, leading to participation in the World Rally Championship, where it won three constructors' championships, a FIA Drivers' Cup, and a drivers' championship. It took part in international competitions until 1982, when it was replaced by Lancia-brand cars. Some of its body liveries, associated with the sponsors of the period, have become iconic in the history of "off-road" motor racing competitions.
