ABARTH CLASSICHE 1300 OT: SPEED AND PASSION
Abarth Classiche 1300 OT is the new car designed by Heritage to pay tribute to an iconic car that took victories in races half a century ago.
This special edition, part of the Heritage "Reloaded by Creators” project, offers enthusiasts the opportunity to own a contemporary reinterpretation of one of the most emblematic cars of the ’60s.
In 1965, the Fiat-Abarth OT 1300 stood out on the track for its exceptional agility and power, based on an effective tune-up of the Fiat 850. Featuring lightweight, aerodynamic fibreglass bodywork and a distinctive ‘periscope’ fitted later to cool the cabin, the OT 1300 became an icon of Abarth innovation in racing cars.
These days, the Heritage team under the "Abarth Classiche" banner pays homage to the same timeless values with the new Abarth Classiche 1300 OT, a creation that blends style, performance and history. Mechanically based on the Abarth Classiche 1000 SP project, from which the Alfa Romeo 4C took shape, this new creation maintains the essence of an authentic Abarth.
Now made of carbon fibre, the bodywork once again introduces the characteristic ‘periscope’ from the historic car, reinterpreted with a contemporary flair. The slotted plexiglass rear window for cooling and the large rear grille for the engine compartment, which features “Abarth” lettering, emphasise the link with the historical design.
The sinuous curves of the front recall the Abarth sports cars of the past, with generous openings specially made to cool the interior.
The Abarth Classiche 1300 OT is the most authentic and genuine way to pay tribute to an epic car that remains in the hearts of all true fans of the Abarth brand, all over the world. Orders are now open for the car, produced in a limited edition of only five units.
