Abarth 207A (1954 to 1955)

The 207A was introduced by Abarth in 1954 as the brand's first series production racing car, designed to compete in the American market. It was a 2 door racing coupe designed on a steel chassis with aluminum bodywork styled by Giovanni Michelotti, with rear-wheel drive and a 4 speed manual transmission. It was powered by a 1089cc inline four engine, tuned by Abarth with Weber carburetors, producing approximately 66hp. It offered an outstanding power to weight ratio and was notable for its aerodynamics, including a distinctive tail fin. Only 10 units were produced, all destined for the American market, participating in competitions such as the 12 Hours of Sebring and the Watkins Glen Grand Prix, marking the beginning of Abarth's foray into production racing cars. The Abarth 207A was produced until 1955.
