Abarth 2200 Coupé

The Abarth 2200 Coupé bodied by Carrozzeria Allemano, produced between 1959 and 1961, exemplifies Carlo Abarth’s ambition to blend elegance with high performance. During this period, Abarth sought to create grand tourers that were not only sophisticated and refined but also retained the robust performance characteristics that distinguished Abarth vehicles. Among the trio of models that emerged from this endeavor, the Abarth 2200 Coupé stands out as a prime example of the marque’s design philosophy. Bodied by the esteemed Turin-based company Allemano, this coupé was designed by Giovanni Michelotti, whose touch is evident in the car’s graceful lines and striking silhouette. The 2200 Coupé was positioned at a premium price point, surpassing even an Aston Martin and costing more than twice as much as a Jaguar E-Type. This elevated cost reflected the car’s status as the pinnacle of elegance and performance in its era. It was a vehicle that catered to a discerning clientele, offering both the luxury of a grand tourer and the exhilarating performance expected from Abarth. With its sophisticated design and high-performance credentials, the Abarth 2200 Coupé remains a testament to the blend of style and speed that characterized Abarth’s vision during the late 1950s and early 1960s.
