Vehicle Overview
The Fiat 1600S Savio, unveiled at the 1963 Turin Auto Salon, is a unique and exceptional one-off coupé that exemplifies the mastery of Italian coachbuilding. Created by Savio, a coachbuilder based in Torino, Italy, this vehicle showcases the flair and artistry that have become synonymous with Savio’s work. Each of the Fiat 1600S coupés built by Savio featured distinct design elements, and this particular model stands out as an automotive gem that adds significant value to any collector’s garage. One of the most striking design features of this coupé is the “Rasoio Elettrico” or “Electric Razor” line, a styling element that gives the car its sleek, cutting-edge appearance. The front air intake is notably divided by the bumper, with the air vent placed below and a horizontal slit above, creating a streamlined yet aggressive look. This unique design feature emphasizes the car’s attention to detail and the bold creativity of its creators. The Fiat 1600S Savio is built on the Fiat 1600 chassis, but what truly elevates this coupé is its high-performance OSCA engine, a creation of the Maserati brothers who had established OSCA to produce racing engines. This engine not only provides a thrilling driving experience but also ties the car to a rich heritage of racing excellence. The integration of an OSCA engine, celebrated for its smooth and powerful performance, makes this coupé a dynamic blend of style and substance. The design of the Fiat 1600S OSCA Coupé Savio is widely attributed to the renowned Italian designer Franco Scaglione, known for his work on other iconic vehicles. Scaglione’s influence can be seen in the car’s elegant proportions, sleek lines, and striking silhouette, all of which make it a standout model in the Italian automotive landscape. Originally sold by a private seller in Paternó in 2014, the car has since become a coveted piece among collectors, admired for its rare design, performance capabilities, and historical significance. As a one-off creation, the Fiat 1600S OSCA Coupé Savio is a true piece of art, embodying both the ingenuity of post-war Italian automotive innovation and the meticulous craftsmanship of Torino’s coachbuilding tradition.
