Fiat Abarth 131 Mirafiori v.1.4

Varjanta mods for rFactor

Fiat Abarth 131 Mirafiori v.1.4 for rFactor is a 1100kg Italian monster with 240HP on full boost. The Car is fun to drive but might be a little challenging. There are 3 versions of the car: The Racing – Comes with 3 different tire manufacturers (Good Year, Avon, Dunlop), The Rally – Comes with Rally suspensions and Pirelli tires and the Wet edition with modified Avon tires

The 131 was the replacement for the successful Fiat 124, and available as a 2-door and 4-door saloon and 5-door estate. The 131 was given the Mirafiori name after the Turin suburb where the cars were produced. Naming the car in this way marked a break with the former Fiat convention, established in the 1960s, of naming their mainstream models only with a three digit number, and it set the pattern for Fiat to adopt Anglo-American style car naming practice, with carefully chosen names for subsequent new models. The 131 was marketed as Fiat Brava in United States. Initially, the 131 was offered with 1.3 L and 1.6 L single overhead camshaft engines. Revisions were made in 1978 and 1981, and all models were produced until production ceased in 1984.

Initially the 131 came with 1297 cc or 1585 cc straight-4 ohv engine. The first series was available with two body styles; saloon and estate Familiare. There were two trim levels – the basic and the better appointed 131 or 131 Special, which could be distinguished from the base model by its 4 circular headlamps, chrome window surrounds and different instrumentation. In 1976, 500 examples of Fiat 131 Abarth Rallye were built for homologation purposes. This car included many technical modifications such as 16-valve DOHC engine producing 140 PS (100 kW; 140 hp), Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection and independent rear suspension. In race specifications, the engine produced around 215 PS (158 kW; 212 hp) in season 1977.
