The Fiat 8V (or "Otto Vu") is a sports car produced by the Italian automaker Fiat from 1952 to 1954. The car was introduced at the 1952 Geneva Motor Show.

Each surviving 8V, whether in factory form or dressed in bespoke aluminum by Zagato, Ghia, Vignale, Pininfarina or others, tells a story of a magical time in Turin when engineers and artisans collaborated to create moving masterpieces.

But it was the appearance of this agile berlinetta that caught the public’s attention at the time: the particularly elegant and streamlined design of the 8V engine was styled by Fabio Luigi Rapi, head of the Carrozzerie Speciali department at Fiat’s Lingotto plant where the car was produced.

Interestingly Fiat called the resulting car the 8V or “Otto Vu” in Italian as they were under the impression that the term “V8” was going to be trademarked by Ford. The American company had over 20 years of history mass producing V8s starting with the flathead engine fitted to the 1932 Ford.

Now highly sought after, Fiat 8V remains the only Fiat ever fitted with a V8 engine. An engineering masterpiece, it certainly proved that while high-end sports cars were not the company’s core business, Fiat was more than capable of building one.

Released at the 1952 Geneva Auto Show with factory-designed bodywork, the 8V was touted as a competition car and many of the very first 8Vs were also prepared for racing and sold to racing clientele.
