The Fiat 8V is a sports car produced by the Italian automaker Fiat from 1952 to 1954. The car was introduced at the 1952 Geneva Motor Show. The Fiat 8V got its name because at the time of its making, Ford had a copyright on the term V8. They were not a commercial success, but did well in racing. Apart from the differential, the car did not share any parts with the other Fiats. The 8V was developed by Dante Giacosa and the stylist Luigi Rapi. The 8V engine was originally designed for a luxury sedan, but that project was stopped.
The 8V engine had a 70 degree V configuration of up to 1,966cc which developed 105 horsepower. The engine was coupled to a 4-speed gearbox and in the standard form, was capable of 118 miles-per-hour.
Only 114 of these high-performance coupes had been produced by the time the cars were withdrawn from production in 1954. Nevertheless, they continued to win the Italian 2-liter championship every year until 1959.
