What a difference 56 years makes juxtaposition of Abarth 1000 SP, 1966 & Abarth Classiche 1000 SP, 2022. The Stellantis Heritage Department has announced a limited edition based on the Alfa Romeo 4C that recalls the original Fiat-based race car from the mid-60s. The original was based on the Fiat 600, for homologation purposes in addition to the race version 50 road cars were built. The new Classiche version has the same 237hp 1.75 litre turbocharged, mid-mounted 4 cylinder engine as the 4C and will be made in an edition of 5 cars
