Il mistero 204 - La prima Abarth, l'ultima Cisitalia
Who really designed the Cisitalia-Abarth 204, the car in which Nuvolari achieved the last success of his extraordinary career? Why was this winning model, desirable to drivers, built in no more than eight examples? And how many were actually made? Why was the 204, designed and built by Cisitalia, 'given' to Carlo Abarth? And what is the real story of the 'death' of Cisitalia and the birth of Abarth?
The answers to these and many other questions are contained in this book, with pictures and documents never published before: among others, the contract between Cisitalia and Porsche to build the F.1 360 Grand Prix and other models with highly advanced features. You can also discover the protagonists of those incredible days, at the end of the 1940s, when one of the most important brands in automotive history, the Abarth Scorpion, was created.
Finally, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of engineer Giovanni Savonuzzi, the 'father' of the Cisitalia 202 and many other famous models, including the Gilda show prototype, a chapter is dedicated to this great designer and engineer, who was all too soon forgotten.
