The name I associate with Abarth is Fiat. So... Fiat?

I'm guessing in person it's going to be shockingly smaller than I'd think it would be.

Ideally it would be sized like a BMW 6-series, lots of interior space.

I'd say it's about 914 sized.

It was developed, designed, engineered, and built by Pininfarina.
While it was still a prototype, Abarth developed it into a race and rally car.

It was too expensive for the original manufacturer, so it was given to another manufacturer and made more luxurious to be a halo car.

Highly modified variations of it became both Group 5 endurance racers and Group B rally cars at the peak of the insane horsepower wars. It won the World Rally Championship, the last 2-wheel-drive car to do so.
