Scorpion
This dangerous as well as beautiful animal, one of the most famous scorpions of the "Typhlochactidae" family, is the badge of Abarth, the Italian racing car company dedicated since 1949 to engineering high performance preparations, specially for Fiat mechanics.

One of their classic preparations made at the end of the 60s corresponds to the "Fiat Abarth 695 SS Assetto Corsa", fitting the popular Fiat vehicle with the greatest technical advances of the time.

If you want to get more details first hand and in scale, we recommend you to have a look at Italeri kit, in 1/12 scale: in addition to the tremendous plastic parts listing, it also includes photo-etched parts and some very interesting decals.

As the Italians say: "tutti i tuoi sogni sono in SpotModel!!!" (all your dreams are at SpotModel :)

Michele Mouton's penultimate rally livery raced the Audi Quattro, in this case in its tarmac configuration of the Sport Quattro S1 E2. The 1985 Manx was not a very lucky rally, since his participation ended in an accident. That does not detract from the spectacular decoration chosen by Reji for this reference, which maintains a great resemblance to the official ones, but which incorporates some specific logos used in the British Rally Championship, apart from the use of Pirelli as a tire supplier.
