Fiat 500 Abarth R3T
The newest model from Abarth, the Fiat 500 Abarth R3T, made its debut at the 51st Sanremo Rally. To further celebrate the new car, Abarth will create a promotional rally trophy in 2010 to accompany the two currently planned more race events using the Fiat 500 Abarth Assetto Corse.
This isn't the first time Abarth has created a promotional trophy race. In 1977 the first ever Autobianchi A112 Abarth Championship was held, and other trophies were issued for the Fiat Uno, Uno Turbo, Cinquecento, Seicento, Punto Kit and Super 1600, Stilo, and Panda Kit.
Group R3T is the type approval given to the Fiat 500 Abarth rally turbocharged car, with a maximum capacity of 1600 cm3.
