1 / 8
Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Fiat 131 Abarth wears the #5 Team Fiat Works Rally Portugal 1980 livery from the marque's works World Rally Championship program. Built by Abarth around a rear-wheel-drive layout, the 131 helped Fiat win multiple WRC manufacturer titles and carried Walter Röhrl to the 1980 drivers' championship, making this a genuine period rally piece rather than a generic homage.

About the Fiat 131 Abarth #5 Team Fiat Works Rally Portugal 1980 Kyosho 1:18

TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Fiat 131 Abarth #5 reproduces the works team livery from the 1980 Rally Portugal, the season Fiat's rear-wheel-drive homologation special carried Walter Röhrl to the World Rally Championship drivers' title. Diecast doors and hood open on the Abarth-built rally shape.

Rear-wheel-drive rally cars had a short window at the top before four-wheel drive changed the sport permanently, and the 131 Abarth made the most of that window while it lasted.

The Fiat 131 Abarth's World Rally Championship Era

Built by Abarth around Fiat's 131 sedan and campaigned through Fiat's works Squadra Corse rally program, the 131 Abarth carried a 2.0-liter twin-cam four and rear-wheel drive at a time when that layout could still win outright against increasingly sophisticated competition. The car delivered Fiat multiple World Rally Championship manufacturer titles across the late 1970s and into 1980, and Walter Röhrl claimed the 1980 drivers' title behind its wheel, one of the last major driver crowns won in a rear-wheel-drive World Rally Car before four-wheel drive rewrote the competitive order. Rally Portugal sat among the championship's classic rounds during that period, a demanding mix of surfaces that tested a car's balance as much as its raw power.

Kyosho's Rendering of the Works Rally Livery

Number 5 Graphics and Panel Registration

The #5 door number and accompanying sponsor graphics sit registered tightly against the body panels, with no bleed or misalignment across the shut lines, a detail that matters on a livery built from multiple overlapping sponsor marks rather than a single simple design. The body color and stripe work follow the works team's period scheme closely, giving the car an unmistakable factory rather than privateer identity.

Diecast Build on a Homologated Rally Shape

Doors and hood open on metal hinges to show a rally-prepared cabin stripped of the road car's comfort features, and the flared arches that housed the 131's wider rally tires carry through accurately in the tooling. The zinc alloy body gives the model genuine heft, appropriate for a subject whose real-world reputation rested on ruggedness across loose and mixed rally surfaces rather than outright refinement.

A 1980s Works Rally Car for a WRC Shelf

Scale Footprint Among Group 4 Rally Models

At roughly 20 centimeters, the 131's compact sedan proportions sit comfortably alongside other Group 4 homologation rally cars of the same period, from Lancia to Opel to Ford, making it a natural addition to a shelf organized around the pre-four-wheel-drive rally era rather than a single manufacturer. This works livery earns its place as a genuine snapshot of the last competitive years for rear-wheel-drive machinery at the top level of the sport.
