Dante Giacosa began work on a new high performance 2-liter V8 powered sports car in the early 1950s. It featured a fully independent suspension, welded sheet metal frame, and bodywork that was welded to the frame. The engine was two four-cylinder blocks mounted on a common crankcase. It was given three Weber carburetors and was capable of producing 115 horsepower.
This is the very first car of just 15 Fiat 8V Ghia Supersonics that were built. The Supersonic design was penned by Giovanni Savonuzzi for an Alfa Romeo 1900 that raced in the 1953 Mille Miglia, and its beautiful styling has been captivating people ever since. This highly original example has only been driven a little more than 17,000 miles from new. Sold new to Paul Fargo, it was purchased by Paul Lazarus in 1953 and remained in his stewardship for more than 55 years, until 2011, when it passed to Benny Caiola before being acquired by its present owner in 2013. It was shown in period and featured in several publications. It is in a remarkable state of preservation, a fact that was recognized when it was honored as the winner of the Postwar Preservation Class at the 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.By Daniel Vaughan | Aug 2010
