METRO for HACHETTE-ABARTH COLLECTION (vol. 43) Abarth Sport Spider OT 1600 1966 red

Presented at the beginning of 1966 the OT 1600 Sport Spider should probably be used to test the new V8 engine of 2000 cm³ that Abarth had presented to the public in February 1966. It had a frame made of pressed steel derived from the Fiat 850, a 1591 cm³ engine that developed 174 hp and allowed a top speed of 250 kph and was equipped with a very profiled fiberglass body, designed by Mario Colucci. It participated in a few races and held a series of comparative tests with other Abarth models in Vallelunga, then was shelved.
