As the motorcar world never ceases to evolve, the history of rally may not be forgotten. That is why Guy Moerenhout and his team have created an extraordinary experience in the Abarth Works Museum, presenting an unseen collection of classical cars, each with their own story. The museum comprises all sorts of classic car activities, ranging from working spaces and museum visits, to renting cars or hiring a venue for your event. Combining expertise and experience, there is no adventure as exceptional and astonishing as a day at the Abarth Works Museum. Abarth is an exclusive brand, introduced by Carlo Abarth. As an Italian born in Austria, he soon took over a significant part of the rally industry. From 1940 onwards, the brand has been connected with boosted cars and special exhaust systems. He built cars under his own name, particularly tuning and building his own engines. He also worked with other brands, rebuilding Porsche, Renault, Simca and Alfa Romeo with special body and car parts. Furthermore, he was the first to use magnesium, aluminium and polyester, and to make cars lighter by means of drilling bolts.
