1966 Abarth OTR 1000 news, pictures, and information

Coupe
 
OTR stands for Omologato Turismo Radiale meaning homologated (approved for International racing by the FIA, in this case Group 3), Touring (a closed roof car), and the radial pattern of the valve stems in the special hemi cylinder head. The basis of this OTR is the 850 Coupe, brother to the Bertone-designed 850 Spider, both derivatives of the utilitarian 850 Sedan, itself a direct descendant of the 600 rear-engined 'mini' car that transported Italy post-WWII. Abarth became the wholly owned 'hot rod' arm of Fiat: the OTR was one of the number of race-focus Fiats that proved hugely successful around the world. As Cooper was to Mini, so Abarth was to Fiat.
