Simca Sport 8

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

Vehicle Overview

The Simca Sport 8: Introducing the exquisitely rare and meticulously crafted Facel Simca, a masterpiece born from the collaborative prowess of Stabilimenti Farina and the skilled artisans at Facel-Metallon. This automotive gem, predominantly crafted from lightweight aluminum, emerges as a testament to unparalleled design sophistication and engineering finesse. Originally conceived as a successor to the iconic Cisitalia 202, this distinctive model shares an almost identical body design with the Ferrari 166 Inter, which was expertly fashioned by Farina in 1949 and famously delivered to the esteemed Roberto Rossellini. The Facel Simca stands as a seamless blend of timeless elegance and racing heritage, embodying the legacy of its prestigious lineage. In the annals of motorsport history, the Facel Simca made its mark at the Monte Carlo Rally in 1950, where factory-backed coupes, piloted by renowned drivers Trintignant and Jean Behra, demonstrated their prowess by securing fourth and fifth positions. This achievement solidified the Facel Simca’s reputation as a formidable force on the racing circuit, showcasing not only its captivating aesthetics but also its performance capabilities. With production numbers kept deliberately low, the Facel Simca remains a rare and sought-after treasure for automotive connoisseurs and collectors alike. Its allure lies not only in its scarcity but also in the seamless fusion of Farina’s visionary design and Facel-Metallon’s precision craftsmanship, making it a timeless embodiment of automotive excellence.
