My Journey into Motorsport and Passion for Cars

Jenny Webster was born in Oxfordshire and has spent many years with a passion for motorsport and custom builds. She's had the privilege of living in Antigua and also Jersey in the Channel Islands. Now she lives in Wiltshire, which is where her project—Pops—started.

Her dad was an avid lover of cars and motorcycles. From a very young age Jenny was shown the meaning of power and excitement that the motor world brings. That influence shaped everything. At 18 she was photographing for British motorbikes. Later she shot World Superbikes. Then she traveled to Gubbio, Italy in 2018 to photograph the Hill climb Masters.

So when she found the advert for a rare Abarth F595 built as a tribute to Carlos Abarth, she had to buy it.

The Carlos Abarth Connection: Martini Racing Legacy

The Abarth F595 build isn't just another custom car. It's a tribute to automotive legend.

Abarth ran the Lancia Delta Integrale rally team sponsored by Martini Racing. That's not just history—that's motorsport royalty. The Delta Integrale is one of the most successful rally cars ever built. The Martini Racing livery is one of the most iconic in motorsport.

So when Jenny decided on her Abarth F595 build she knew exactly what direction to take it (https://www.abarth.com). The car needed to honor that heritage. The Martini Racing livery needed to wrap around it. The aggressive performance upgrades needed to reflect what Abarth stands for: controlled chaos and pure driving joy.

It felt right. It felt necessary.

A One-Off Build: 

This Abarth F595 build is genuinely one-off.

Custom-made wings and wide rear fenders made in Turin, Italy. The historic Martini Racing livery that connects it to rally legend. A custom fitted wing from Areotrack. Bola racing rims that fill the arches properly. The list goes on.

Every component was selected to serve the vision. The aggressive aero wasn't just for looks—it's functional. The wide fenders weren't just styling—they're necessary to accommodate the wider stance and grip requirements.

This Abarth F595 build is what happens when someone genuinely understands the heritage of a brand and respects it while making something uniquely their own.

200 BHP: Small Car, Mighty Engine

The heart of this Abarth F595 build is a 1.4 Garrett turbo producing 200 BHP. That doesn't sound like much until you understand the context. The F595 weighs nothing. 200 horsepower in a car this light means explosive acceleration. It means corners you didn't know existed. It means every drive is an event.

Forge Motorsport handled all the engine upgrades. New coil pack, engine blanket, actuator, strut mounts, short shifter, intake, and dump valve. The work wasn't about maximum power—it was about responsive, reliable power that makes the car feel alive. A 1.4 turbo that respects reliability and longevity. That's the Abarth philosophy. That's what makes this Abarth F595 build special.

Aerodynamics: Form Follows Function

The aero package on Jenny's Abarth F595 build is aggressive because it needs to be. Custom front wings with built-in intakes manage air flow properly. Front splitter and side diffusers create downforce at speed. Areotrack wing on the back ties the whole package together. Wide fenders and custom spats completed the transformation.

This isn't fantasy aero bolted on for Instagram. It's functional design that makes the car more capable at speed while looking intentional and purposeful. Everything flows. Nothing looks out of place. The proportions work because they were engineered to work.

Livery Wrap: Martini Racing Royalty

The Martini Racing livery wrap designed and fitted by Monsterwrap Gloucestershire is the visual centerpiece of this Abarth F595 build.

It's not a decal. It's not a sticker. It's a complete design wrap that honors the rally heritage while making the car visually present on the road.

Every time you see it you're reminded of Lancia Delta Integrales. You're reminded of rallying glory. You're reminded that small cars with big hearts can change motorsport history.

That's the power of proper livery work. It tells a story.

Who Built It: 

This Abarth F595 build was a team effort:

• Forge Motorsport fitted and supplied all the engine upgrades. They understood what needed to happen under the hood to make the Garrett turbo sing without sacrificing reliability.
• Areotrack supplied the wing—proven design that's been tested and trusted.
• Monsterwrap Gloucestershire designed and fitted the livery wrap. They understood the brief and executed it perfectly.
• Auto Colour prepared and painted the custom wings. The quality of the paint work sets the tone for the entire build.

That collaboration matters. Each specialist brought expertise while respecting Jenny's vision.

The Driving Experience: Adult-Sized Hot Wheels

Jenny describes her Abarth F595 build perfectly: an adult-sized Hot Wheels model that puts a smile on your face every time you go for a ride. That's not hyperbole. A 200 BHP turbo in a car this light is genuinely thrilling. Every acceleration is urgent. Every corner reward skill and commitment. Every drive is memorable. The Garrett turbo spools up quickly. The short shifter snaps between gears. The Brembo brakes scrub speed with authority. The Areotrack wing keeps the car planted.

It's everything you want from a performance car—accessible, engaging, and genuinely fun.

Future Plans: 

The Abarth F595 build isn't finished. Jenny is planning:

• Custom exhaust to let the Garrett turbo breathe and sing
• Custom sound system to bring modern convenience without compromising the raw driving experience

The evolution continues but the core philosophy stays the same: respect the heritage while making the car more enjoyable to drive.

Why This Build Matters

Jenny Webster's Abarth F595 build represents something important: taking a rare car and honouring its heritage while making it uniquely yours.

She could have bought a standard F595 and left it alone. Instead, she researched the Carlos Abarth connection. She sourced the Martini Racing livery. She coordinated custom fabrication in Turin. She worked with specialists who understood the vision.

That commitment to authenticity while pursuing personalisation is what separates a good build from a meaningful one.

The Abarth F595 build is her dream car. Not because it's the fastest or the most expensive. Because it connects her to motorsport history, honours her dad's influence, and puts a smile on her face every single drive.

That's what it's really about.

Final Thoughts: Small Car, Big Heart

This Abarth F595 build proves that car passion isn't measured in displacement or cost. It's measured in commitment to a vision.

Jenny took a rare F595, connected it to rally legend, collaborated with specialists across Europe, and created something that genuinely honors the Abarth name while being unmistakably hers.

That's not just building a car. That's creating a legacy.
