Along with other tuners (such as Giannini), Carlo Abarth also had a look at the Grand Prix. First seen at the 1968 Paris Motor Show, Abarth's version received a tuned version of the larger 903 cc engine from the recently introduced Fiat 850 Sport Coupé/Sport Spider.
Abarth Scorpione, 1968 - 52 PS (38 kW). Abarth 1300 Scorpione,
1970 - More powerful Fiat 124s 1.2 liter engine, bored out by 2.5 mm for a total of 1280 cc, this model has 75 PS (55 kW).
Abarth Scorpione S/SS, 1969-70 - This powerful model was extensively re-engineered, with a coil-over front suspension, a reworked rear suspension, anti-sway bars front and rear, and all-wheel Girling disc brakes. The top speed is 115 mph (185 km/h). After Fiat took over Abarth in 1971, the Scorpione was quickly canceled.
