1. History
As already noted Pininfarina showed the prototype of a new Abarth version of the Fiat 124 Spider in April of 1982 at the Salone Internazionale dell''Automobile di Torino. The production version of this car would come in 2 series later in 1984 (200 cars) and 1985 (300 cars). However this initial prototype was unique in that it came in the traditional Abarth red color.
