1952 Fiat 8V, c1952. The Geneva Motor Show of 1952 saw the launch of a new Fiat, the 'Otto Vu'. A two seat coupe, the 8V was really a statement of what Fiat could do if it wanted to, there being no realistic plans for volume production. Only 114 were in fact built. The entire car was new, with virtually no parts carried over from another Fiat model. It was powered by a V8 engine and was capable of a top speed of 190 kmh.
