1979 Fiat 131 Abarth SE035 Turbo Volumetrico Prototipo Fari Carenati Grey Copper in 1:18 scale
This is the 1979 Fiat 131 Abarth SE035 Turbo Volumetrico Prototipo Carenati Grey Copper in 1:18 scale by Maxima.
The 1979 Fiat 131 Abarth SE035 Turbo Volumetrico Prototipo Carenati was a striking aerodynamic evolution of the rally-bred 131 Abarth, featuring enclosed bodywork (“carenati”) designed to reduce drag and increase high-speed stability. What truly set it apart was its bold use of both turbocharging and a volumetric supercharger in tandem—an innovative powertrain configuration aimed at combining immediate throttle response with sustained power delivery. Though it never raced officially, this prototype represented Fiat and Abarth’s fearless experimentation at the cutting edge of 1970s rally engineering.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication.
