Abarth
Abarth is an Italian racing car maker, founded by Italian-Austrian Karl (Carlo) Abarth in Turin, in 1949.
Along with its racing cars, Abarth produced high-performance exhaust pipes. Later, Abarth diversified in producing various tuning kits for road vehicles, mainly for Fiat. Abarth was also associated in producing sports or racing cars with Porsche and Simca.
Abarth was sold to Fiat on July 31, 1971, and the racing team sold to Enzo Osella. Abarth became the racing department of Fiat, managed by famed engine designer Aurelio LampredIndependent
In 1963 the 500 became subject of the Abarth treatment, initially as the 595 increasing power of the vertical twin cylinder engine from 18 to 28 BHP and next as the 695 with the 32 bhp and the ultimate version, the 695 SS (esse esse) which had 38 BHP in standard trim but could easily reach 50-55 BHP and much more if needed in the competition with the BMW 700 CS and the sister car, the Steyr Puch.
