With its lightweight seamless frame and a powerful engine, this is considered as one of the best collectibles, states the press release.As per the press release, the Fiat management instructed its technical director Dante Giacosa to begin developing a V-6 engine for a particular six-passenger sedan model. The attempt was disrupted and didn’t achieve fruition. But, the engine devised by Giacosa was soon morphed into a V-8 of considerable merit. Bonhams reels over this achievement this way by quoting Giacosa in his autobiography, “The idea of mounting it on a sports car for a small production run was attractive and aroused the keenest interest among the design engineers.”Thus was born the Fiat 8V featuring its super stylish look and performance. The Fiat 8V was known in Italy as the Otto Vu and got positioned as a luxury grand touring sports car. The best talk about this wheel is that its fabrication was sourced out to Giorgio Ambrosini’s Siata to maintain the necessary quality-control of this high-end product.Among the other cars of the type, the Fiat 8V is truly an iconic one, displaying the first effort and style of the whole Fiat family.https://www.blouinartinfo.comFounder: Louise Blouin Read more
