Out of the one-hundred and fourteen 8Vs produced from 19562 to 1954, just 20 were Zagato Berlienttas.
This Fiat 8V or Otto Vu is one of the great Italian sports cars of the 1950s, the second pre-production Zagato 8V made, and was first shown at the 1952 Geneva Auto Show. Named after their 2-litre, narrow-angle V8 engine designed by Dante Giacosa, Fiat outsourced most 8V bodies to Italian Carrozzeria like Vignale, Ghia, and Zagato and each has a unique style. The 8V was promoted as a competition car and many were prepared for racing and sold to racing clientele. In total, 114 Fiat 8Vs were produced to meet international homologation regulations.
This example (the second pre-production Zagato 8V (0057 being the first)) was delivered as a rolling chassis to the Zagato works on July 31, 1953. After it was fitted with a body, it was campaigned from July 1954 to October 1954 by Elio Zagato himself. He recorded many class victories in Italian races. He won the 1954 Bari three-hour race for 2-litre sports car, and the highlight of its career was when it competed in the sixth running of the Coppa InterEuropa two-hour race in September, where Zagato took the overall victory in 1954 with a new distance and lap record. it was sold in February of 1955 to Paolo Colombo, who continued to race the coupe very successfully. The car also was run in the 1955 Mille Miglia. In recent years it was meticulously restored. The 2015 Pebble Beach Concours was the first time this Fiat 8V had been shown since its racing days over five decades ago. It returned to the Pebble Beach lawn in 2022 as part of the Otto Vu class.
