The 1937 Fiat 6C 1500 Berlinetta Superleggera by Touring is a paragon of advanced engineering and refined design. Built by legendary coachbuilder Touring Superleggera, this particular example stands out for its aluminum bodywork and advanced aerodynamics. The 6C 1500 was ééone of the first production car’s to be tested in a wind tunnel, which at the time was a pioneering method for minimizing drag and optimizing performance.
The car is equipped with a 1493cc inline six-cylinder engine and a four-speed gearbox, guaranteeing a smooth and powerful driving experience. The technical ingenuity of this engine, combined with the light weight of the Superleggera body, ensured that this car was not only elegant, but also extremely fast and agile. This made the 6C 1500 a popular choice for both lovers of luxury and sporty drivers.
In 1993, this particular Fiat was registered in the Fiat Italië registry with number 919, an honor bestowed upon few. Moreover, the car has obtained the prestigious Gold Standard certificate from ASI (Automotoclub Storico Italiano), confirming the authenticity and exceptional condition of this vehicle. This distinction makes it not only a valuable collector's item, but also a candidate for participation in renowned events such as the Mille Miglia.
The history of the Fiat 6C 1500 Berlinetta is closely linked to the tradition of innovation and quality that Fiat has always pursued. By the 1930s, Fiat was already a leading name in the automotive industry, known for its combination of elegance, reliability and technical progress. The collaboration with Touring Superleggera took these characteristics to a new level, resulting in a car that is impressive in both appearance and performance.
What makes this Fiat 6C 1500 Berlinetta extra special is its aluminum body. This method of construction, known as ‘Superleggera’ (superlight), was a Touring specialty and significantly reduced weight without compromising strength and durability. This resulted in improved performance and fuel efficiency, something that is impressive even today.
