Abarth 207 A Spider Corsa

Vehicle Overview

The Abarth 207 A was successful and received 10 orders. The car was based on the mechanics of the Fiat 1100. The engine was developed by adding two new Weber carburettors and new exhaust manifolds. Thus configured, the engine produced a power of 66 hp. The suspensions were not retouched, while the car body designed by Michelotti was entirely made by Boano in steel, which is unusual for a racing car. The exhaust pipes made of stainless steel protruded from the right side of the car. The first race in which it took part was the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1955, from which it was disqualified due to a refueling judged irregular by the commissioners. Subsequently, the car was not very successful due to excessive weight.
