Abarth Monomille GT Sibona Basano

The Abarth Monomille GT by Sibona Basano.

Vehicle Overview

The Abarth Monomille GT, crafted by Sibona & Basano, stands as a pocket-sized marvel of Italian Gran Turismo engineering from the early 1960s. Built on the robust FIAT 600D platform, these sleek coupés epitomized Abarth’s dedication to performance and style. The Monomille GT was offered in two distinct versions: first, the Monomille Scorpione (1961-1962) featuring Beccaris coachwork, followed by the ‘duck tail’ Monomille GT (1963-1965) with elegant aluminium bodies by Sibona & Basano. Despite its diminutive size, these cars packed a punch, capable of reaching impressive speeds ranging from 170 to 180 km/h (105-112 mph), depending on gearing configurations, thanks to its 60 horsepower output. Abarth aficionados had three variants to choose from: two street versions distinguished by their bumpers—one featuring exposed headlights and the other with headlights concealed under Plexiglas cowls. Additionally, a stripped-down competition model was available, showcasing cowled headlights and a sleek, bumper-free design aimed at maximizing performance. Hand-built and therefore inherently exclusive, the Monomille commanded a price tag roughly 30% higher than its contemporary rival, the Porsche 356. Production numbers remain a point of contention among experts, with estimates varying widely from as few as 25 to as many as 100 units. Regardless of the exact count, these rare and meticulously crafted sports cars have become prized possessions among collectors of Abarth vehicles. Today, the Abarth Monomille GT is celebrated not only for its performance capabilities but also for its unique design and rarity. These traits, combined with Abarth’s racing pedigree and Italian craftsmanship, ensure that each surviving Monomille GT holds a special place in automotive history and remains highly coveted by enthusiasts around the globe.
