The Fiat Abarth 1000SP, for Sport Prototype, was a Group 4 and Group 6 sports racing car that Abarth built in 1966 and 1970. Engineer Mario Colucci based it on the mechanics of the Fiat 600, extensively modified for racing in the Group 6 sports car class, and 50 road cars were built to gain homologation. It had a tubular steel frame, a plastic body and a centrally placed double-overhead-cam inline four-cylinder engine with two Weber 40 DCOE carburettors, making 105 hp and giving a top speed of 230 km/h through a five-speed manual gearbox. Its first race was at Pistoia in 1966, where Anzio Zucchi finished fifth. Hans Herrmann took third overall and the class win in the 500 km of the Nurburgring, and in 1968 the car won the 1000 km of Monza. A one-off concept, the Abarth Classiche 1000 SP, followed in 2021.
