Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8B Tip Top

A 1932 Isotta Fraschini 8B Tip Top by Carrozzeria Touring.

Vehicle Overview

The Isotta Fraschini 8B Tip Top, a creation of the esteemed Carrozzeria Touring in Milan, stands as a remarkable piece of automotive history. The Tip Top project, born in 1932, showcased a distinctive design feature – a four-door body without a central pillar. This coupé, characterized by traditional front doors and rear half upwind doors, exuded a sense of sophistication and innovation. The absence of a central pillar in the 8B Tip Top not only contributed to its sleek and seamless appearance but also reflected Touring’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive design. The concept of a pillarless structure was revolutionary for its time, emphasizing both aesthetics and functionality. This groundbreaking design was not confined to the Isotta Fraschini alone; it later found its way onto an Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 GT sedan, showcasing the enduring influence of Touring’s innovative approach across different automobile models. In a notable display of its avant-garde design, the Isotta Fraschini 8B Tip Top was exhibited at the prestigious 1932 Genova Nervi Concours d’Elegance. The event provided a platform for automotive enthusiasts and experts to witness firsthand the elegance and ingenuity encapsulated in Touring’s creation. The 8B Tip Top undoubtedly left an indelible mark on the history of car design, cementing Carrozzeria Touring’s reputation as a trailblazer in the world of luxury and innovative automobiles. Its legacy endures as a testament to the intersection of art and engineering, where Touring’s vision continues to inspire automotive enthusiasts worldwide.
