#1400BerlinettaAbarth

In 1950, at the request of a delegation of Fiat dealers headed by Ovidio Capelli, Touring created a small series of 200 berlinettas based on the Fiat 1400, the new medium-sized car with a unibody from Fiat. This is the first attempt to adapt the Superleggera structure to a real monocoque. In the factory in Via Ludovico da Breme, the Fiat 1400s were transformed into two-door, four-seater berlinettas in the coachbuilder's style, with a large grille, modified several times, and a tail similar to that of the 6C 2500 SS Villa d'Este. Of these 200 cars, at least 3 were further lightened and strengthened with an Abarth kit and with one of these Ovidio Capelli himself triumphed at the XI Giro di Sicilia 1951.

We'll tell the story of this model on the occasion of its anniversary or when it will reach a sufficient number of cars.
