1953 Siata 208S<\/h1>\n
\n

Another illustrious recipient of Fiat\u2019s glorious two litre 8V engine, the 208S came from SIATA (Societ\u00e0 Italiana Applicazioni Trasformazioni Automobilistiche), a company that had begun in 1926 producing speed equipment for Fiat automobiles. After the war, Siata was producing its own cars including the 208S which was introduced in 1953. <\/span><\/p>\n

The 208S was available in both open and closed versions, it was used sophisticated engineering such as independent suspension, Fiat’s 8V all-aluminum engine and a lightweight aluminum bodywork . Priced at $5300, just 35 examples were built.<\/p>\n

There was much speculation on who provided the bodies for the 208 Spiders and many vintage magazines claimed Vignale or Bertone, but it was infact Motto who created the aluminum bodies for Siata.<\/p>\n

Road & Track did a report on the 208S and called It a \u2018Siata Spyder V-8\u2019. It by Ernie McAfee who was the west coast Siata distributor. They achieved a 0-60 run of 12.4 seconds and the \u00bc mile in 17.8 seconds. They also recorded a curb weight of 1960 lbs. The first thing they noticed \u201cwas the silky smoothness of the relatively small V-8 engine.\u201d<\/i> Furthermore, \u201cEven using 6000 rpm as a limit on each gearm the engine does not seem over-stressed in any way and appeared able to continue such treatment indefinitely.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

We are like kids in a candy store, except the candy is made of metal, goes vroom-vroom, and occasionally bankrupts us faster than a sugar rush at a candy store sale! We spend hours debating the merits of turbochargers versus superchargers, and our weekends are a never-ending quest for the perfect polish and wax combo. We can identify every make and model by the sound of a revving engine, and our idea of a romantic evening is a candlelit dinner with our cars in the garage.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.supercars.net","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Supercars.net\/","https:\/\/instagram.com\/super.cars.fans","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/supercars_net"],"url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/author\/supercars\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=264336"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264336\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/264337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=264336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=264336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=264336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
