In total, Zagato got 32 Fiat 8V chassis (according to other sources 30) and at least one Spider was built.
Zagato presented its first 8V coupé in early 1952. The vehicles all received lightweight bodies, which were largely made of aluminum. The interior was individually tailored to each buyer. The exterior design could also be influenced; For example, the Bubble Roof could be ordered. Some of them were used at racing events. The vehicles were sold until 1959. The vehicles are referred to as Fiat 8VZ, with the “Z” standing for Zagato.

In March 1952, Fiat surprised the world at the Geneva Motor Show with the Fiat 8V. A two-seater sports car that was also designed as a racing car. What was surprising was that Fiat had not shown any interest in re-entering the racing scene up to this point.
