Isotta Fraschini 8C Monterosa Touring

Chassis

#05

After the Second World War,  Isotta Fraschini attempts a return to automotive production with the 8C Monterosa, heir to the pre-war Tipo 8. The new model is presented in 1947 and is distinguished by the unusual design with a cantilevered rear engine. Between 1947 and 1949 5 prototypes are completed, with bodies made by Zagato, Touring and Boneschi, but the model is too expensive and will never go into production.
