Gran Toros / Sputafuoco Fiat Abarth 3000SP
Austrian born Carlo Abarth, a former motorcycle racer, joined Armando Scagliarini in 1949 to create Scuderia Abarth based in Turin Italy. They specialized in tuning Porsche and Fiat cars for competition. Eventually, Abarth concentrated on modified Fiat designs and became Fiat's competition division in the early 1970s until Fiat purchased Abarth & Co. in 1971. In addition to prototype racing cars, Abarth & Co. produced many "performace parts" such as modified exhaust systems for popular street cars. The scorpion in the Abarth logo represents Carlo Abarth's astrological birth sign. The Fiat Abarth 3000SP was a prototype European racing car produced between 1968 and 1970. It was powered by a 2968cc (181 cubic inch) V8 engine. This model was created for the Gran Toros / Sputafuoco series and never released as a "Mebetoys series" model.
