Abarth is an Italian tuning brand, founded in 1949 by Carlo Abarth. Abarth has been part of Fiat (now Stellantis) since 1971. Abarth is Fiat's performance sub-brand, specialising in hotted-up compacts. Abarth builds high-output turbo-petrol engines based on Fiat units. The factory Abarth calibration is sporty, yet there is still headroom for Stage 1.
The Abarth community is a performance niche within the wider Fiat scene. Mid-range Fiat engines are a high-volume chip tuning subject. The Fiat community in Southern Europe has a large pool of ready-made Stage files.
