01 / THE STORY

History & context

The Abarth 750 Spider Allemano represents a departure from the predominantly closed car offerings of Carlo Abarth’s automotive repertoire. Recognizing the demand for open cars, particularly in the lucrative U.S. market, Abarth set out to create a roadster tailored for competition. Initially, Abarth collaborated with Zagato, commissioning a Spider based on the 750GT. However, Zagato’s initial designs failed to capture widespread appeal. Undeterred, Abarth sought an alternative approach and turned to Carrozzeria Allemano, a renowned Turin-based coachbuilder celebrated for their collaborations with Maserati during the 1950s. The collaboration between Abarth and Allemano resulted in a Spider that stands as a testament to their combined expertise. The Abarth 750 Spider Allemano is a unique creation, characterized by its sleek and sporty design, while exuding a distinct period charm synonymous with Italian automotive heritage. The partnership between Abarth and Allemano yielded a roadster that not only embodies the spirit of competition but also captures the imagination with its elegant aesthetic.With its distinctive styling and formidable performance, the Abarth 750 Spider Allemano remains a symbol of automotive innovation and craftsmanship. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to seamlessly blend form and function, offering enthusiasts a driving experience that is both exhilarating and evocative of a bygone era.
