4 days ago | classicmotorsports.com | J.A. Ackley

Italian automaker Cisitalia lasted just 17 years, from 1946 to 1963, but it quietly left its mark on automotive history. For example, a Cisitalia 202 is part of the Museum of Modern Art’s permanent collection. Another overlooked example is the 505 DF by Ghia. The company is believed to have made less than 10 examples and only two are known to still exist. This is one of them. This Cisitalia was inspired by Giovanni Savonuzzi’s Ghia-Ford coupe prototype.

The 3.0 used much of what went into the RSR, including the engine (albeit detuned) and the four-piston brake calipers and drilled brake discs. Porsche rated the 3.0 at 230 horsepower.
