Abarth will build a small batch of sports cars based on the Alfa Romeo 4C, inspired by the 1966 Abarth 1000 Sport Prototipo.
According to the Fiat spinoff, the Classiche 1000SP weighs just 1074kg and will do 250km/h flat out.
Abarth has actually been designing a modern take on the classic since 2009, before being reimagined and shown again in 2021.
How many will be made has not been locked in, but reports from 2021 suggest only five will be built.
Power comes from the same 1.75L four-cylinder turbocharged engine found in the Alfa Romeo 4C, producing 177kW of power and 450Nm of torque. It is mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission.
In terms of design, the link between the 1000SP and the 1966 source material is clear. Up front, the reworked 4C features four round headlights, with thin LED flares in the grille below. The bonnet has a unique design as well.
At the rear, the 4C’s round taillights have been teased to make them more historically accurate, while the bumper and rear vents have been tweaked for a more classic look.
“Exactly 55 years after the debut of its predecessor, the Abarth 1000 SP – the only model that has been produced to date – is once again ready to strut its stuff,” Abarth said in its press materials when it revealed the latest 1000 SP. concept in 2021.
