The 8V was developed by Dante Giacosa and the stylist Luigi Rapi and unveiled at the 1952 Turin Motorshow.. Fiat chose to use the name 8V because they believed that Ford had a copyright on the name V8. Apart from the differential the car did not share any parts with the other Fiats though there was a crossover of parts with Siatta
The engine was a V8 originally designed for a luxury sedan, but that project was stopped..The Fiat V8 had a 70 degree V configuration, displaced 1,996 cc and was fitted with two twin-choke Weber 36 DCF 3 carburettors. with an output of 104bhp and a top speed of 118mph, which was uprated to 113bhp and finally 125bhp.
The cars did well in the Italian 2 litre GT Championship, with production ending in 1954, the cars continued to race winning the Italian 2 litre GT Championships every year until 1959..
Always a rare car with 114 of the high-performance coupés built, 34 of which were bodied by Fiat's Reparto Carrozzerie Speciali ("Special Bodies Department"). and 30 by Zagato Ghia and Vignale also made bodyworks. Most were coupés, but some spyders were made as well.
This car is a Mark 2 of which only 34 were built, the Mark 1 had its headlights positioned in the grille aperture
