Model car FIAT 806 Grand Prix

The Fiat 806 Grand Prix was an innovative car for its time and can be considered the forerunner of the modern Formula 1.

Designed and built by the Italian carmaker in 1927, it was the first single-seater Grand Prix car ever built. Thanks to its 12-cylinder engine with over 180 horsepower, it was capable of reaching and exceeding 240 km/h.

However, the most important innovations were in the chassis, mechanics and bodywork. The engine and gearbox were mounted between the side rails to optimize performance and handling.
