The one and only – Fiat 550 Italia prototype with a Ferrari V8 engine

Only one Fiat 550 Italia with Ferrari V8 engine will be built.

The reworked Fiat 500 was signed by Lazzarini design, which moved the engine to the rear end, and the monstrous machine gave space to the entire rear part of the car, including the rear seat bench. Compared to the serial model, the wheelbase has been stretched to 2,650 millimeters instead of 2,300, and of course everything else on and inside it testifies to the fact that it is not a normal model.

Prototype Fiat 550 Italia with Ferrari's F136FB V8 engine, which "crumpled up" in the rear, will be unique, and the owner will have to pay something over half a million euros. The car, which will brake the engine with ceramic-carbon brakes, not only has a longer wheelbase due to the engine, it is also at the rear compared to the standard "Cinquecenta" (Fiata 500) is also 350 mm wider, and the front is 250 mm wider.
