The Fiat Abarth 1000 TCR Berlina Corse is a true motorsport icon and dominated the European Touring Car Championship class in 1968 and 1969. Based on the small Fiat 600, the car was transformed by Abarth into an uncompromising racing machine: wide fenders, enlarged front radiator, horizontal hood opening, and a powerful 982cc four-cylinder engine producing over 110 hp.

This 1/10 scale Tamiya R/C model perfectly replicates the distinctive silhouette with a robust polycarbonate body and utilizes many separately molded parts for maximum detail. It is based on the new MB-01 chassis, which allows for versatile drive configurations.
