Descriptive Note
|
Text: The two-seater Cisitalia "202"
GT was an aesthetic and technical achievement that
transformed postwar automobile body design. Building
on aerodynamic studies developed for racing cars,
the Cisitalia offers one of the most accomplished
examples of coachwork (the automobile's body) conceived
as a single shell. The body was basically handcrafted,
with its aluminum panels shaped over wooden forms.
Because of this time-consuming process, only 170 models
were produced between 1947 and 1952.
