The entire technical evolution and the competition history of a rally
car as glorious as it was "unexpected" enclosed in a single volume.
The Fiat 131, born as a tranquil family car, proved capable of
transforming into a formidable rally competitor. This monograph draws on
the testimony of the engineers who contributed to its creation and the
numerous drivers and navigators who rallied it. Ingegner Sergio Limone
was part of the team of engineers asked to define the 131 Abarth Rally
project while the likes of Maurizio Verini, Michèle Mouton, Gigi
Pirollo, Fabrizio Tognana, Dario Cerrato and Lucky Battistolli all, in
various ways, contributed to making the Fiat 131 Abarth one of the most
successful rally cars of all time with three World Championship titles
to its name won in 1977, 1978 and 1980.
