1969 Abarth Scorpione SS news, pictures, and information

It is believed that the legendary Karl Abarth constructed just five of these Abarth Scorpione SS vehicles. Two have been wrecked, one resides in the west coast another on the east coast (shown). The final example is believed to be in Belgium.

The light green example shown was raced in Germany in the 70's and 80's and recently competed in the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, the Monterey Historics and Watkins Glen. Finished second in the Historic Race Group for the country in 2005.

The design is eye-catching and even exotic, with its Kamm tail, pop-up headlights, and a sloping hood. Powering the Scorpione SS is a Fiat 124 engine fitted with twin Weber carburetors. Horsepower is in the neighborhood of 100. There is a Fiat 850 gearbox, disc brakes and an independent coil-over suspension found in the front.
