The Ritmo Abarth was a homologation special and in many ways an Italian answer to the VW Rabbit GTi (GTi 16v). Using the well proven Fiat Lampredi twin-cam power plant – 2-liters with high compression pistons and hot cams. In this case, breathing through two twin-choke Weber DCOE carbs. Typical Abarth formula, a light and simple platform with tuned handling and a big engine from the larger offerings in the Fiat range. Helping keep Abarth in the road-car and racing scene as they developed the Lancia Delta HF Integrale.
