Fiat & Co.: Vintage car parade at Mirafiori
LOOK BACK A new Heritage Hub is open to the public in Turin Mirafiori. The museum of the Fiat, Abarth and Lancia brands displays classic passenger cars and racing cars in the former Turin factory.
The show was made possible by the collaboration between the Stellantis Group's Cultural Heritage Department, the City of Turin and the National Automotive Museum of Italy. The Hub, located in the Mirafiori industrial complex, offers two-hour guided tours three days a week. Tickets are available online at the Turin Automotive Museums website.
Presentation in former production halls
The Stellantis Group hub houses a collection of historic Abarth, Fiat and Lancia models in an area of around 15,000 square meters. The building, which was commissioned in 1968, was originally a production hall of the Mirafiori plant in the Turin suburb of the same name.
For more than 30 years, mainly mechanical components for various series models were manufactured there. Today, Officina 81 is an ideal stage for the presentation of more than 300 classic vehicles.
Workshops and conferences for 200 people
In the center of the exhibition area are 64 classic cars, representing Records and Races, Concepts and Fuoriserie, Archistars, Eco and Sustainable, Small and Safe, Style Marks, Epic Journeys and The Rally Era. The other vehicles are divided by brand in ascending chronology. In addition to classics from Fiat, Abarth and Lancia, vintage cars from Alfa Romeo, Autobianchi and Jeep are also on display.
A dedicated exhibition space is devoted to the history of the Mirafiori plant from 1939 to the present day. This area of the Heritage Hub also houses rooms for workshops and conferences with a capacity of up to 200 people. An ideal setting for a conference is the engine hall, where important engines from more than 100 years of Fiat and Lancia history are presented.
