Hey there! So you're curious about Abarth in Forza Horizon 5? Awesome choice! These little Italian machines pack a punch and have a pretty cool history. Let's dive in. A Quick History Lesson Abarth was founded way back in 1949 by Carlo Abarth in Turin, Italy. They started out making racing cars and later got into tuning road cars, especially Fiats, with performance exhaust pipes and kits. They even teamed up with brands like Porsche and Simca back in the day. By 1971, Abarth became Fiat's official racing department. They've had some iconic rally cars like the Autobianchi A112 Abarth and the Fiat 124 Abarth. Fast forward to 2007, Fiat revived the Abarth brand with models like the Grande Punto Abarth and the sporty Fiat 500 Abarth. Abarth in Forza Horizon 5 While Abarth has been around in the Forza series since *Forza Motorsport 4*, it was added to *Forza Horizon 5* specifically in Series 24.
