1952 Abarth 1500 Coupe Biposto (Bertone)
Standing out from the new models on show at the 34th Turin Motor Show in
1952 was the characterful Bertone coupé built on Fiat 1400 mechanics
reworked by Abarth. The style of the Turin bodywork builder shines
through, even in this almost excessively original version of the Abarth
Coupé. The prototype stands out for its impressive front view, with the
third central headlight reaching forward, and for the dynamics of the
wheel arches which underline the car’s sporty character. The large
wrap-around rear windscreen and the interesting profile of the tail
fins, which were taken all the way with the B.A.T. experiments
(1953-1955) testify to the work which went into the lines of the car,
and the focus on innovative elements which work perfectly together.
