Description

The Abarth Fiat 750 Coupé Sport Zagato is a remarkable sports car from the 1950s, renowned for its unique blend of performance and style. Produced between 1956 and 1960, this car was a product of the collaboration between Abarth, Fiat, and the distinguished Italian coachbuilder Zagato. It featured an aerodynamic aluminum body with a distinctive double-bubble roof, a design signature of Zagato that added both aesthetic appeal and improved headroom for the driver and passenger.

Under the hood, the car housed a 747 cc inline-four engine derived from the Fiat 600, but significantly enhanced by Abarth to deliver more power. The modifications resulted in an output ranging from 43 to 57 horsepower, which, when combined with the car’s lightweight construction, provided a spirited and agile driving experience. This performance prowess was further demonstrated on the racing circuit, where the Abarth 750 Coupé Sport Zagato earned accolades in prestigious events such as the Mille Miglia, the 12 Hours of Sebring, and the Nürburgring 500 km, securing its place in motorsport history.

Today, the Abarth Fiat 750 Coupé Sport Zagato is a cherished classic, highly valued by collectors for its racing pedigree, limited production, and timeless design. It stands as a testament to the innovation and artistry of mid-20th-century Italian automotive engineering.
