Last year, Stellantis presented the Fiat Abarth 1000 SP concept on the occasion of the 55th anniversary of the original race car of the same name, and the specialized Italian press now reports that the car will be made in a limited series of 5 copies.
The source of the information is Robrto Jolito, the designer responsible for this modern concept and the head of the department for historical models at Fiat.
New Fiat Abarth 1000 SP specs
No technical details of the concept have been released, but we know it is based on the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider platform. The carbon fiber chassis, 1.75-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 240hp and six-speed dual-clutch transmission, which transmits power to the rear wheels, have been taken over from this model.
The original Fiat Abarth 1000 SP had a one-liter in-line unit with four cylinders and about 105 hp. It doesn’t sound like much, but the car weighed only 480kg. This combination made it a very competitive car with more powerful engines, so this model won several races in the mid-1960s, including the Monza and Nürburgring races.
