Fiat 1100 Sport Savio

Vehicle Overview

The Fiat 1100 Sport Savio was designed by Franco Scaglione, the well-known designer of Carrozzeria Bertone, who at the time also collaborated with Carrozzeria Savio in Turin. The car built in a completely hand-crafted way, has an aluminum engine hood and trunk in order to significantly reduce the weight, while the mechanics have been completely revised by Autocarrozzeria Savio, modifying and significantly improving the overall performance of the car. the compression ratio went from 6.7: 1 of the standard 1100/103 engine to 7: 1, the power from 36 horsepower at 4,400 rpm to 54 horsepower at 5,100 rpm and fuel consumption from 8 at 10 liters per 100 kilometers. All obtained through the adoption of copper lead rod bearings, a polished marine type intake manifold, special valve springs and a transmission shaft in two sections. Finally the suspensions have been lightened compared to those of the standard 110/103. Due to the high construction costs, this Fiat 1100 Sport Savio remained a one off.
