Of all the famed Italian automakers, Fiat is not normally recognised as a builder of lavish coachbuilt grand touring cars. This 8V model, or Otto Vu in Italian, was built for two years only, in 114 examples, and it remains one of the marque’s most legendary motor cars to this day. It was the star of the Geneva Salon in March 1952, and it goes without saying that this new Fiat got lots of attention from the motoring press.
