History

Abarth 1000 SP

The Abarth 1000 SP was a sophisticated racing sports car designed for the FIA's 1-liter prototype class. Featuring a mid-mounted engine, tubular space frame, and wind tunnel-tested bodywork, it represented Carlo Abarth's commitment to competition. The car achieved class victories at Monza, Nürburgring, and the Targa Florio. Only approximately 30 examples were produced, making it highly collectible today.
