Abarth will extend its custom
personalisation programme, the Fuori Serie, at the 2013
Geneva Motor Show (7 March 2013) with the launch of a range
of additional styles, designs and technology fitted to 180
bhp version of the Abarth 695 that reflect Abarth’s
inspiration, passion and attention to detail, uniqueness,
historical heritage, quest for efficiency, performance,
spirit and high-tech appeal
These new variants tell great
stories through past values, present success and future
challenges, Abarth sets its customers at the centre of its
‘fuoriserie’ programme, involving them personally in the
creative process.
In the wake of the ‘Olio Fiat’
livery launched in Paris, the Geneva Motor Show will host
the debut of four examples of customised cars that push the
boundaries of the concept of ownership and exclusivity. The
New Heritage collection associated with the spirit of
motorsport and the history of Abarth will feature the Abarth
695 ‘Record’ and the Abarth 695 ‘Scorpione’, with
customisations that update the liveries of historical
models, namely the Abarth 750 Record Bertone and the A112 or
124 Abarth.
Each “fuoriserie” vehicle is potentially
different from all the others. Custom attitude is the
possibility of choice: car liveries like tattoos on your
skin, indelible and personal, unique feelings, accessories
inspired by the Abarth brand, with an eye for innovation,
technology and the latest trends.
The line-up at the
Swiss show will also include the Abarth 695 ‘Hype’ and
Abarth 695 ‘Black Diamond’ belonging to the New
Wave collection, where the focus is on the latest trends
and a quest for innovative materials and technologies. The
former is aimed at younger customers interested in
cutting-edge trends, while the latter satisfies those
seeking refinement and style.
Custom Attitude - an
approach that Abarth has always followed in its product
range - achieves an initial level of satisfaction with the
Abarth 500 Custom: a conceptual blank sheet to be moulded in
accordance with your personality. The range of
personalisation options has now been extended through
performance tuning kits, brake systems, exhaust systems and
an extensive array of accessories, new colours and materials
for exteriors and interiors.
The two customisations
Abarth 595 ‘turismo’ and ‘Abarth 595
‘competizione’ are genuine Abarth cars with a 160 HP
tuned engine as standard. In particular, those who identify
themselves by values such as style, refinement, comfort and
the most exclusive sportiness with a preference for the
world of ‘Gran Turismo’, the Abarth 595 ‘turismo’
offers special tuning for the engine, geometry and brake
system in addition to a high level of interior and exterior
detail. In the Abarth 595 ‘competizione’, the tuning
also affects the exhaust system, with the "Record Monza"
exhaust and ‘Abarth Corse by Sabelt®’ sports seats as
standard for those who see themselves as out-and-out race
lovers, inspired by the no-holds-barred world of racing.
The ‘all inclusive’ customisation level is
represented by the 695 Edizione Maserati, a distillate of
sportiness, class and performance produced by Abarth and
Maserati.
The Punto has also changed: the Punto
Supersport takes to the street with a brand-new look. Custom
Attitude is the common thread running through the entire
Abarth range: customers can now choose a hand-crafted
painted and polished roof and bonnet livery. From today, the
1.4 MultiAir engine upgraded to 180 HP also comes as
standard.
Abarth is also increasing its power on the
track: the classic races for the European, Italian and
Swedish Trophies will see the addition of new challenges on
the Benelux and Portuguese circuits. An international racing
platform on tracks that have made motoring history, such as
Monza, Nürburgring, Estoril and SPA. More than 5,000
kilometres of breathtaking bends, almost 1,800 minutes of
throttling and overtaking to thrill an ever-growing number
of drivers and fans As they do every year, these races will
give everyone the opportunity to compete at accessible
prices and showcase their talent with a view to becoming
future stars of motorsport.
Race lovers who dream of the
track can take part in the second edition of Make It Your
race, a unique talent show for aspiring drivers: this race
in stages starts with online selection and involves local
events before allowing the very best to battle it out in a
final race at Monza together with professional drivers. The
entire exciting process will unfold in the same way as a
talent show and be broadcast by international TV
channels.
Make It Your race is not only for drivers:
based on the principle of ‘Everyday challenge’,
through an online platform that puts its users to the test
every day, Abarth offers an official role in ‘team
Abarth’ to anyone who wishes to take part: designers,
bloggers, photographers, amateur videomakers, mechanics or
aspiring paddock girls. More than 10,000 have already signed
up for pre-registration, available from December on www.makeityourrace.it. The Geneva Motor
Show period will see the official opening of registrations
for participation in the most exciting challenge of 2013,
online and directly at the stand.
Lastly, visitors will
be introduced to the products of FGA Capital, a finance
company specialising in the automotive sector, through
illustrative materials and dedicated media at the stand. The
finance company is operative in all the major European
markets, and in Switzerland with Fidis Finance, with a sole
mission: to support the sales of all Fiat Group Automobiles
brand vehicles by offering innovative financial products
with high added value services targeted to the dealership
network, private customers and companies.
Success on and off the track
Within
a complex scenario, Abarth has succeeded in achieving the
goals set for 2012, hitting its target of 8000 on-road cars
and nearly 4000 tuning kits sold in Europe, the Middle East,
Africa and Asian areas. The result achieved due to a
tight-knitted team that works by sharing actions and goals
and an extraordinary network of dealers and official tuning
shops, a phenomenon that is unique in its field and which,
after branching out into new markets such as Finland and
South Africa in 2011, forged further ahead into other new
markets such as Morocco and Ukraine during the first half of
2012. In the United States too, marketing began of the
Abarth 500 and Abarth 500c in the wake of their launch at
the Los Angeles Motor Show, with excellent results in terms
of sales and customer appreciation.
Abarth Specialties
were also a big hit: after the Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari
– all 1695 cars produced have now been sold since the
launch in 2008 – special cars continue to be an important
element for the company due to the outstanding results
achieved by the Abarth 695 Edizione Maserati, officially
launched at the start of the 2012 Mille Miglia. Only 499
examples were made of this limited edition car. To date, it
is already being driven by 300 customers, one third of which
are in Japan.
This is a success story for a brand that
has seen continual growth since its relaunch in 2007: 50,000
cars sold between the Abarth Punto and Abarth 500 saloon and
convertible models.
Almost one third of the cars sold
have been tuned with performance kits.
These results are
also reflected in the significant growth in the online
Abarth community: with a Global Page that has attracted more
than 530,000 fans on Facebook and one of the most numerous
automotive brand communities in Europe.
An active
community that grows day by day, fuelling itself, creating
new and original content and contributing to brand
development.
The 9000 videos loaded (out of 30,000 total
registrations) by the aspiring Make It Your Race 2012
drivers are a shining example of this involvement and
attachment to the brand.
Abarth
‘fuoriserie’ programme
The Abarth
‘fuoriserie’ concept represents the ultimate level of
customisation combined with the exclusivity of a car built
for and dedicated to every single customer, satisfying their
desires and aspirations. Through direct communication with
Abarth, ‘fuoriserie’ customers are able to develop their
car, forging a solid link with a brand that continues even
once the car has been paid for through customer care that is
always available and attentive to every
need.
Customisation and exclusivity start with
performance (only Abarth ‘fuoriserie’ cars have 180 HP
engine tuning and feature the exclusive 695 branding) and
continue with the numbers (limited editions with very few
examples) plus a focus on innovation, technology and trends,
which also applies to the choice of materials.
Abarth
‘fuoriserie’ cars also offer other distinctive features
and technical specifications: to start with, the 1.4 Turbo
T-Jet 16v engine boosted to 180 HP and teamed with the
electrically-operated manual Abarth Competizione gearbox
with steering wheel controls, which enhances the performance
of the engine with reduced gearshift times as well as
guaranteeing an experience of superior driving comfort at
the wheel.
To improve the performance and the
acceleration in particular, the ‘fuoriserie’ car is
fitted with high-performance tyres on 17’’ alloys. The
ride and braking system have also been strengthened to cope
with the extra power: Brembo ® 305 mm brake discs that can
be dismantled with fixed four-piston caliper and special
Köni® shock absorbers with FSD technology that guarantee
performance in total safety. The variable back-pressure dual
mode exhaust is designed to improve engine performance and
deliver an inspiring engine sound over 3,000
rpm.
‘Fuoriserie’ cars are equipped with Xenon
headlights with dipped and main beam functions for improved
light emission and excellent efficiency under all weather
conditions. These devices deliver three times the light
intensity and duration of standard halogen lamp headlights.
The interiors are customised with specific materials and
trim levels, made by involving superior Italian and
international partners that share values such as
craftsmanship and high quality with the brand: carbon
finishes, dedicated personalisation plates and cutting-edge
technology, as evidenced by a JBL® sound system (created by
Harman® specially for Abarth) with 9 speakers and 8 channel
amplifier for 400 watts of overall power.
Exclusivity and
attention to detail are guaranteed by handcrafting assembly
and finishing processes: for example, each livery is
hand-painted and polished, without the use of
stickers.
For those who want a ‘bespoke’ car, Abarth
has developed two specific collections belonging to the
’fuoriserie’ programme and applicable to both saloon and
convertible models: ‘New Heritage’ and ‘New
Wave’. The former collection is inspired by
cars of the past, victories and races, while the latter
focuses on trends and innovations with the emphasis on
materials and new technologies, a tribute to contemporary
Abarth aficionados and their ‘custom
attitude’.
In detail, the ‘New Heritage’
is inspired by the cars that have written the brand's
history, reinterpreting their motifs with new materials and
new finishes. From the Fiat 750 Record and 124 Sanremo all
the way to the X19 prototype: these are the record-breaking
cars, the Abarth world rally champions, those driven by the
greatest sports drivers that are being reinterpreted in a
modern guise with a range of materials and finishes ranging
from carbon fibre to sports fabrics, from leather to
Alcantara®, and from glossy to matte liveries.
The
New Wave collection was developed by observing and
listening to trends emerging from the community of Abarth
aficionados. Sportiness interpreted with a contemporary
twist, not necessarily linked to the racing world, enhanced
by the use of materials from research in the automotive
field and in all the most technical sports.
Regardless of
the collection and livery chosen, customers will have
additional customisation options to create their own
personal ‘fuoriserie’. The exclusivity and uniqueness
are reinforced by documentation issued with the car and a
plate inside the car showing a serial number and the owner's
name.
The stand at the Geneva Motor Show will display two
models for each collection: Abarth 695 ‘Record’ and
Abarth 695 ‘Scorpione’ for the New Heritage
collection, while the Abarth 695 ‘Hype’ and Abarth 695
‘Black Diamond’ will represent the New Wave
collection.
All the customisations on show will be
available on the Abarth 500 and Abarth 500c with the 695
branding. In the future, the ‘Abarth fuoriserie’
programme may be rolled out to the entire Abarth
universe.
Abarth 695
‘Record’
This customisation is inspired by
the record-breaking cars that have written the history of
Abarth racing, including the Abarth 750 Record Bertone. This
car, created in 1956 after years of aerodynamic research,
beat no fewer than 10 world records on the Monza racetrack,
including the ‘72 hour’ record, when it travelled
10,125.26 km.
Externally, the 695 features Matte
Competizione Grey bodywork. This is complemented by a roof
featuring the distinctive Abarth chequerboard, typical of
the world of motorsport, recreated through a special manual
polishing process. Matte black 695 design rims and red
Brembo® brake calipers underscore the sporty nature of the
car.
The interiors show attention to detail and
sportiness through the selection of ‘Abarth Corsa by
Sabelt®’ in black leather with Alcantara® inserts and
top stitching, both red with glossy carbon shell and cushion
base. The same material also reappears in other details
inside the passenger compartment such as the dashboard, gear
panel and kick plate. The red finish also features on the
parcel rack and head restraint. The pedals and sills are in
aluminium to emphasise the racing soul of this car. 695
‘fuoriserie’ branding further customises the car on
seats, steering wheel and kick plates.
Abarth 695
‘Scorpione’
The two-tone livery that
characterises the Abarth 695 ‘Scorpione’ is based on the
historical Autobianchi A112 Abarth, a sporty-looking car
destined for private drivers, and the 124 Abarth, a racing
car with a successful past: victories in the 1970 international manufacturers
championship and the 1975 world Rally championship (it was
the top Fiat car for six seasons, from 1972 to
1975).
The 695 on show in Geneva boasts a glossy black
livery with matte bonnet traversed by a band produced using
a polishing treatment. The same band has also been applied
to the roof by means of a special handcrafting process. The
livery, shown in this case on a cabrio model, will also be
available on saloon models.
The door mirrors and pillar
trim are in glossy carbon, demonstrating great attention to
material quality in all detailing. Magnesium-coloured 695
design rims and red Brembo® brake calipers add extra
toughness to the car.
The interiors also reflect the
exclusivity, customisation and crafting that characterise
the ‘Abarth fuoriserie’ programme.
Black leather
Sabelt® seats with the central part in grey perforated
Alcantara® are embroidered with the 695 and
‘fuoriserie’ logos in red. Red, a colour evoking the
world of motorsport, reappears in all the internal trim: the
seat wheel bearing the Abarth Scorpion logo, the embroidered
leather-trimmed parcel rack, the handbrake lever with its
double fell stitching and leather inserts on the steering
wheel. Matte carbon elements are also evident on the
dashboard, seat squab, sill and gear panel, while aluminium
pedals and kick plate give the interiors an even more sporty
look.
Abarth 695 ‘Hype’
This car is inspired by the most recent trends
in terms of colours and details and is aimed in particular
at young drivers who wish to stand out without having to
give up on performance. Outside, it features a two-tone
livery with the lower part in Matte Record Grey and the
upper part in Matte Green. A yellow liner divides and joins
the two souls of the car, reflecting the colour of the
calipers and hubcaps. The ‘esseesse’ design rims are in
matte titanium painted with a special finish reminiscent of
the metal. The same treatment is reserved for the upper
bumper grille, the extractor and all chromework on the car.
The exterior customisation continues with an Abarth scorpion
‘tattoo’ on the roof achieved by a ‘ton sur
ton’ manual polishing technique.
The attention to
trends, colours and customisations is also evident in the
interiors with ‘Abarth Corsa by Sabelt®’ in black
leather with Alcantara® military green inserts embroidered
with the ‘695’ and ‘fuoriserie’ logos in yellow with
glossy carbon shell and cushion base. The same material also
reappears in other details inside the passenger compartment:
dashboard, gear panel and kick plate. Yellow top stitching
is also evident on the steering wheel, with black ears and
viewfinder.
Abarth 695
‘Black Diamond’
For customers who seek
style and quality in addition to performance, Abarth proudly
presents its ‘Black Diamond’ customisation at the Geneva
Motor Show, with a nod to its female audience.
The
exterior features a two-tone livery in Record Grey and
Scorpione Black, both matte, and a chrome liner that
runs horizontally to emphasise the car's glamorous
soul together with chrome-plated mirror fairings and
magnesium-coloured 695 design rims.
Red Brembo® brake
calipers and hubcaps reinforce the car's sporty spirit. A
chequered flag on the roof in grey achieved using a
gloss-matte paint effect is another reference to the Abarth
spirit.
The style of this car is also reflected by the
interior with seats upholstered entirely in sand beige
leather, with containment strips featuring single-layer
padding, sporty but elegant and comfortable at the same
time, and stylish details such as the ‘fuoriserie’
wording heat-printed on the head restraint. The parcel rack
is also in leather with a silver embroidered logo. The
dashboard and gear plate are distinguished by a special
matte-finish carbon trim, as are the pedals, sill and kick
plates. The black leather steering wheel is enhanced by
beige leather inserts and a tricoloured viewfinder.
Abarth Punto Supersport
‘Custom
attitude’ has also been applied to the Punto: the new
Punto Supersport expands on and strengthens the car's bubbly
personality by combining the sportiness and adrenaline
typical of the Abarth brand with a particular
characterisation of design, style and handcrafting.
The
car is now offered with the engine boosted to 180 HP
as standard and new optional gloss-matte paintwork on
the roof plus bonnet embellished by a car-coloured passing
band that makes it look even more refined and
appealing.
This distinctive styling is matched by a
spirited, high-performing personality. The credit goes to a
1.4 engine with MultiAir technology that has been upgraded
as standard to 180 HP (132 kW) at 5750 rpm to ensure a top
speed of 216 km/h and acceleration of 0-100 km/h in just 7.5
seconds.
The new design is complemented by 17’’
diamond alloys with 5 ‘claws’ plus matte black interior
paintwork and Brembo® brake calipers to underscore the
car's sporting nature still further. Self-ventilating front
and solid rear brake discs guarantee maximum braking
performance.
The interior of the new Punto Supersport is
packed with exclusive details in addition to a comprehensive
and wide-ranging equipment list. Standard items include an
automatic climate control system, Blue&Me system with
controls on the steering wheel, sporting front seats in
cloth and leather steering wheel. The customisation is
complemented by stainless steel pedals and kick plate,
needle-punched mats with electro-welded graphics and a
chrome effect plate on the climate control system
console.
More demanding fans can further customise their
Punto Supersport with the range of high-performance
accessories and the numerous kits that Abarth offers for
this car, such as the Abarth Köni® suspension kit with FSD
technology and the Abarth Brembo® brake system kit
Abarth Sporting Activities
2013
Abarth is bucking the market trend by
stepping up its presence on the track with an international
programme, adding the Abarth 500 Benelux and Portugal
Trophies to an already packed schedule.
Every year the
races attract a growing number of drivers - many of whom are
very young - who are able to make their presence felt to
become the motorsport stars of the future with accessible
participation and management costs.
This
'democratisation' of racing, of which Abarth is an ardent
proponent, is demonstrated by national and international
editions of the Abarth Trophy competition, dedicated to the
Abarth 500 and 695 Assetto Corsa, small yet spirited and
extremely competitive cars.
This strategy is further
confirmed by the Abarth ACI/CSAI Formula, which during its
first two seasons saw the mass participation of Italian and
foreign drivers, all very young, who had the chance to make
their début in the world of Motorsport at low costs with
cars marked by technical excellence.
Abarth
500 trophies
The track Trophies in 2013 will
celebrate their fifth season with the Abarth 500 Assetto
Corse, which has proven to be top-performing and spectacular
over these last few years, joined by the new Abarth 695
Assetto Corse. There are to be five Abarth Trophies during
2013: the classic races for the European, Italian and
Swedish Trophies will see the addition of new challenges on
the Benelux and Portuguese.
An international racing
platform on tracks that have made motoring history, such as
Monza, Nürburgring, Estoril and SPA. More than 5,000
kilometres of breathtaking bends, almost 1,800 minutes of
accelerating and overtaking, starring the Abarth 695 Assetto
Corse and the Abarth 500 Assetto Corse. Thanks to their low
running costs, these cars have so far enabled a whole array
of drivers to make their racing débuts and drive in the
limelight.
The Italy Abarth Trophy involves five races,
scheduled to take place on the tracks in Franciacorta (19th
May), A1 Ring in Austria (16th June), Mugello (14th July),
Varano de’ Melegari (6th October) and Monza, where the
season ends on 20th October.
Three of the ACI/CSAI
Italian Trophy races - the A1 Ring in Austria, Varano and
Monza - are also valid for the Abarth Europe Trophy, which
is completed with the races in Dijon (12th May),
Nürburgring (2nd June) and Spa-Francorchamps (8th
September).
The Abarth Sweden Trophy will take place
according to the usual sports format and will stop at the
main Scandinavian tracks with a leg at the prestigious
German Nurburgring circuit.
In Benelux and Portugal, the
drivers will challenge one another over the most important
and famous circuits.
Registration costs for the
Abarth Italy Trophy are 5,000 euros with the Abarth 500
Assetto Corse and 6,000 euros with the Abarth 695 Assetto
Corse, and the fee covers the hospitality and the
paddock tent for the teams, as well as the spare parts
service on the racetracks.
Registration costs for the
Abarth Europe Trophy are 7,000 euros with the Abarth 500
Assetto Corse and 8,000 euros with the 695 Assetto Corse.
Racers registered for the Abarth Italy Trophy register free
for the Abarth Europe Trophy.
Every event includes two
25-minute races plus one lap and the relevant 40-minute
qualifier round.
In keeping with the spirit of the
platform, the final and race prizes include: 30,000 euros
for the overall winner of the Abarth Europe Trophy, an
Abarth 695 Assetto Corse for the racer who comes in first
with the Abarth 500 Assetto Corse. In the Abarth Italy
Trophy, the overall winner wins an Abarth 595 Competizione
road version while the racer who comes in first with the
Abarth 500 Assetto Corse wins an Abarth 500 road
version.
The community of fans and enthusiasts can find
out all about the talent on the track and follow and comment

ACI/CSAI Abarth
Formula
During the first three racing
seasons, the Formula ACI/CSAI Abarth, the single-seater
fitted with a turbocharged 1400 cc Abarth engine tuned by
FPT, met with great success with the large-scale
participation of Italian and foreign drivers, all very
young, attracted by the low running costs and top-quality
cars. The Italian Formula ACI-CSAI Abarth 2013 championship
will include 6 races: Vallelunga, Adria, Mugello, Imola,
Misano and Monza.

‘Make it your
race 2013’
The first talent show that allows
all the aspiring drivers to get out on the track with the
professionals returns with a new edition to repeat the
success of last year. Broadcast in 8 different countries
(including Italy on SkySport2, France on AB Moteur and
Men’s Up TV, Germany on Sport1, Switzerland on MTV and
Belgium on RTL and Life TV) this edition achieved over
900,000 contacts. A far-reaching success, stemming from the
web and the social networks: over 2,200,000 pages were
visited, with more than 860,000 individual contacts. An
involved and active community: 9,000 candidate videos were
uploaded, the engagement rate on Facebook increased by 90%
during the selection period and the official YouTube channel
grew by 400%.
The 2013 edition of “Make It Your Race
2013” is launched with new contents and involves new
Countries as well: Italy, the United Kingdom, Germany,
France, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, the
Netherlands, Luxembourg. This is the second edition of a
“pan-European” project which involves Abarth and its
entire world, consisting of people, of emotions, of engines
and of challenges. The race involves several legs that start
off on the Internet and reach the racetrack, incorporating
local events and driving courses. It will allow aspiring
racing drivers to compete against professionals. All the
emotions, the joys and the disappointments of the
participants, who undergo non-stop testing and challenges,
will be filmed and will give rise to the second edition of
the only talent show dedicated to the racing world.
‘Make It Your Race’ is scouting for talent with a
racing soul, people who are not afraid to try anything, who
are capable of giving every activity their all, who live
every day like a challenge. “Everyday challenge”
is in fact the concept behind the spirit of “Make It Your
Race”, which this year more than ever aims at being a
far-reaching platform that will test its users every single
day. Not just those who dream of racing on the track, but
all those who have a competitive spirit and who love to take
a challenge head on. Using a new on-line gamification
platform, launched during the Geneva Motor Show 2013, the
large Abarth community will be involved in trials, both
virtual and real, to test their racing personality and their
ability to surpass their limits. For almost six months,
through numerous contests, users will be able to participate
and try to make their dream of playing an official role in
the "Abarth team” come true.
The best racing drivers
will be competing in an official Trophy race on the Monza
racetrack, where the best aspiring car designer will have
the opportunity to create the official liveries of the
finalist cars of MIYR13, and where the most popular blogger
will get the chance to be the voice of MIYR for his/her
country. Visit the www.makeityourrace.it website to
discover all the contests to take part in “team Abarth”.
Over 10,000 pre-registration applications have already been
filed since December.
The Geneva Motor Show period will
see the official opening of registrations for participation
in the most exciting challenge of 2013, online and directly
at the stand.
