Simca Sport 8

This Simca Sport 8 is baby Ferrari 166 designed by Stabilimenti Farina.

Vehicle Overview

The Simca Sport 8 epitomizes the epitome of automotive rarity and meticulous craftsmanship, born from the collaborative genius of Stabilimenti Farina and the artisans at Facel-Metallon. Constructed predominantly from lightweight aluminum, this masterpiece stands as a testament to unparalleled design sophistication and engineering finesse. Originally conceived as the successor to the iconic Cisitalia 202, this unique model shares an almost identical body design with the legendary Ferrari 166 Inter, expertly crafted by Farina in 1949 and famously delivered to the esteemed Roberto Rossellini. The Facel Simca represents a harmonious fusion of timeless elegance and racing pedigree, embodying the rich heritage of its prestigious lineage. In the annals of motorsport history, the Facel Simca left an indelible mark at the 1950 Monte Carlo Rally, where factory-backed coupes, piloted by renowned drivers Trintignant and Jean Behra, showcased their prowess by securing fourth and fifth positions. This remarkable achievement solidified the Facel Simca’s reputation as a formidable contender on the racing circuit, underscoring not only its captivating aesthetics but also its impressive performance capabilities. With deliberate restrictions on production numbers, the Simca Sport 8 remains a rare and highly coveted gem among automotive enthusiasts and collectors. Its allure extends beyond mere scarcity, resonating with enthusiasts worldwide for its seamless fusion of Farina’s visionary design and Facel-Metallon’s precision craftsmanship. Indeed, the Simca Sport 8 stands as a timeless embodiment of automotive excellence, destined to captivate and inspire generations of enthusiasts for years to come.
