Abarth 1000 OTR

The technical basis from the body to the engine comes from the Fiat 850 with rear engine and rear-wheel drive. The OTR 1000 was created in several versions, some for company purposes, one version also for customers. In 1965, Abarth and Bertone, who had designed and manufactured the body of the Fiat 850 Spider, built a Berlinetta variant for display purposes; it had a redesigned, fixed-mounted coupe roof on a Spider body-in-white. This body variant eventually went into production in 1968 as the Bertone 850 Racer Berlinetta, but with the production engine from the Fiat 850 Sport Coupé.
