This year's classic re-enactment of the legendary 'Targa Florio' in Sicily, at 102 events, one of the oldest motorsport races in the world, and sponsored by Abarth, finished on Sunday, 7 October. To celebrate the special sporting bond with 'Targa Florio', Abarth debuted the new Abarth 595 range.

The brand's iconic 595 has evolved in line with both aspects of its dual personality, performance and style. These are ingredients on which every Abarth, past and present, is based, and which transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

"Karl Abarth was closely associated with the Targa Florio," explains Luca Napolitano, Head of EMEA Fiat and Abarth brand. "Sicily's winding roads seemed to be tailor-made for showing off his racing cars' qualities. So the Scorpion and the Targa share a close bond and a history of racing successes and memorable anecdotes. After all, anyone admiring these historic cars that won Abarth its status as a racing legend will easily appreciate how, over the years, the tough testing ground of racing has shaped the priceless heritage that has given us the cars of today."
