Carlo Abarth, formerly associated with Cisitalia, set up his own concern in 1950. At first he concentrated on tuning equipment for Fiat and other makes, before turning his hand in 1955 to manufacturing complete cars. 1956 saw the introduction of one of his most famous and successful models, the road/racing 750 coupe. Conceived primarily with the fiercely competitive 750cc class in mind, the car utilised mainly modified Fiat 600 components.

Development continued at a prodigious rate, encompassing not only Abarth''s greatest forte,
