The Abarth 2000 Pininfarina Scorpione is a rear-engined prototype sports car, designed by Italian design company Pininfarina, and developed and built by Abarth, in 1969.[9][10] One prototype vehicle was built, and was displayed at the Brussels Motor Show in 1969.[11][12][13]

In the 1975 stop motion-animated film The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix, the racing car of Heinrich von Schnellfahrer is based on the Abarth 2000, upgraded with amongst others a larger rear wing and engine.[14]
