Concept Car Of The Day: 1965 Abarth 1000 Coupe Speciale - AllCarIndex
The Fiat Abarth 100 Special Coupe was a stunning creation from the collaboration between Pinínfarina and Abarth Co. The sleek 2-seater Coupe was powered by a Fiat Abarth 1000 - 4 cylinder engine with 54 HP-DIN, derived from the Fiat 850 model. The design featured a slender and low appearance with a lenticular front end and thin aerodynamic fenders. The front lights, specially made by Carello Co., were protected by a transparent fairing. The side windows and windshield formed a seamless element that could be tilted forward for easy access to the car. The rear window provided excellent visibility, while the rear end housed the mechanical group.
Special elektron alloy wheels reduced weight, and the interior was upholstered with elastic leather for comfort and safety. The instruments were housed in a light ogival fairing instead of a traditional instrument panel. The seats were low and inclined backward, with the option to move the steering wheel aside for a better driving position.
Overall, the Fiat Abarth 100 Special Coupe was a marvel of design and engineering, showcasing the best of Italian automotive craftsmanship.
