The Abarth X1/9 prototipo was one of just a half a dozen of these unique machines built in the autumn of 1974 and it went on to contest a number of important rallies and races over the next year. Not to be confused with the Dallara-built X1/9, the Abarth version boasted equally outrageous bodywork enhancements as well as the famous tall 'periscope' air intake perched on the engine cover, and at the Lingotto Fiere it was shown alongside a 124 Abarth, also from 1974, both cars finished in the distinctive red-and-yellow colours of that period. The final historic rally machine on the Scorpion stand was a 131 Abarth finished in the dazzling red-white-and-green colours of Italy's national airline, a sponsorship scheme that became synonymous with the Fiat Group's all-conquering rally cars of that period. This 131 Abarth example was from 1978 (one of the years that the four door sedan won the World Rally Manufacturers' Championship title, the other two being 1977 and 1980) and it was driven by the legendary Markku Alén: the doors bears the name of the flying Finn and his equally illustrious longtime co-driver, Ilkka Kivimäki.

Complementing the three stunning competition machines was the recently reborn Abarth brand's current 'halo' model, the 695 Tributo Ferrari which was first shown at the Frankfurt IAA in the autumn of 2009, and is presently being assembled in strictly limited numbers. It is powered by the Abarth 500's potent 1368cc turbocharged engine, which is uprated to produce 180 HP at 5,500 rpm and 230 Nm torque at 3000 rpm, meaning the tiny car can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in under seven seconds and reach a top speed of 225 km/h. Visually it bears special '695 Tributo Ferrari' badging on the 3/4 panels as well as dedicated over body decals and some new finishes to the door mirrors, air vents and wheels, while inside the cabin the gearshift is now 'paddle' operated and the trims have been upgraded. It also features many parts drawn from the Abarth accessory catalogue, including the exhaust and seats.
