The Fiat 8V appeared in 1952 purely as a racing sports car. The two-door coupe was built in several versions, although a total of only 114 units was produced. Zagato designed a number of bodies for the cars that enjoyed success in motor racing thanks to their aerodynamic styling.
The automobile illustrated here was entered by Jan de Reu from Belgium at 2009 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este.
