In 1966, Abarth reached a turning point with the SE04 project - the Fiat Abarth 1000 SP - where 1000 refers to engine displacement and SP stands for Sport Prototype. The 1000 Sport Prototype was equipped with an evolution of the Abarth twin-cam engine, built around the Fiat 600s engine block. This centrally positioned unit produced 105 HP at 8,000 rpm. With a displacement of 982 cm3, it exceeded 100 HP per liter - an impressive figure for the time. The lightweight chassis and polyurethane and fiberglass body kept dry weight at just 480 kg, allowing a top speed of over 220 km/h. The 1000 SP quickly began racking up victories, even competing in prestigious endurance races. Thanks to numerous updates and modifications, the car remained in competition for over a decade, until 1984, when it was acquired by its last owner, who has preserved it to this day. The bodywork remains in a well-preserved state, while the mechanical components were fully restored in 1985 by the specialist Falorni of Castelfiorentino FI. This magnificent 1000 SP, still fully functional today, was equipped with a Colotti gearbox - a highly appreciated choice among drivers at the time. The car is ready for historic revivals, classic races, and is eligible for Le Mans Classic.
