Cisitalia D46 - 1946
In the pre-war years, Piero Dusio was a moderately gifted racing driver, but he was an excellent businessman. With the money he earned during the war, he founded "Consortia Industriale Sportive", better known as Cisitalia and began making racing and sport vehicles as early as 1946. While Germany focused on VW-based constructions in the 1,1 litre class, Cisitalia in Italy drew on Fiat 1100 technology.
Cisitalia goes down in automobile history with three special constructions : the 202 with Pinin Farina bodywork, the D46 - the most successful Monoposto in the early post-war era - and the 360, the forerunner of modern F1 vehicles. The latter was the supercar of its time with 285 bhp from 1,5 liters and four-wheel drive, a car that never ran a single international GP race.
