Cisitalia, founded by Pietro Dusio in 1946, has always been renowned for the accuracy of its projects. The Cisitalias were all superb, innovative cars, light and very fast in spite of their cubic capacity. This coupe model, with 485 examples built, is famous not only for its sports results, but also because it is on display in the Museum of Modern Art, MOMA, in New York. This car's body, realized by Pinin Farina, antedated the aesthetic principles used for coupes in the Fifties. Nothing particular can be said about the engine: it is an all-purpose Fiat 1100, which was suitably and masterfully tuned. Its best features, which brought about such great success, are the low tubular chassis and low weight. The commercial success of this car was limited only by the hard manual work required for its construction and, as a consequence, its high price. This means that there were many differences between one series and another. The most significant are the sports versions: Biposto 1100 Sport, Sport Special and Mille Miglia. Engine: 4-cylinder. Cubic capacity: 1,089cc. Power: 60bhp. Maximum speed: 160kph. Feed: induction. Chassis/bodywork: tubular / coupe.
