   Abarth Alfa Romeo 2000 Ghia Coupe

   One thing we know for sure is that on the stand of Alfa Romeo at the exhibition in Turin in 1954 the Abarth Alfa Romeo 2000 Ghia Coupe was presented. Ghia has made a very elegant and tasteful design for the car, where Ghia took advantage of the long Alfa Romeo 1900 Berlina chassis, to make a cabin the float freely from front to bottom. The 2-collar paint, the fashion at that time, express fully the line en the car.

   Carlo Abarth had used the new Alfa Romeo 1900 Super engine of 1975ccm and mounted twin Weber 40 DRSP carburettors, and optimised the exhaust with a new manifold. It gave an output of 135 hp at 6000 r/min, compared to standard Alfa Romeo 1900 Super Sprint at 115 hp.

   Carlo Abarth had produced the chassis and was able hold the weight as low as 890 kg compared to standard Alfa Romeo 1900 Touring Super Sprint on 1000 kg. The low weight gave the possibility to reach 200 km/h.

   Carlo Abarth did not leave anything to assumption; on theAbarth Alfa Romeo 2000 Ghia Coupe, he mounted every part into the Ghia mould to test the car prior to the final production. It is said he liked to take the car when he drove home for lunch.

   Sadly only one car was produced and it turned up at Concorso Italiano at Monterey in 2004 in a complete new condition.

   Abarth heeft ook aan een kleinere Tubolare zitten prutsen. Ik denk dat het geen bijster succes was want veel is er inderdaad niet over gekend.
