The Fiat 806 Grand Prix adopted significant innovations for its time. The Fiat 806 was, in fact, the “progenitor” of the modern Formula One racing cars. Developed and produced by FIAT, the Italian automobiles manufacturer, in 1927, it could be considered the first Grand Prix car ever built before. Thanks to its 180 HP 12 cylinders engine, the Fiat 806 was able to reach and even exceed the speed of 240 Km/h. However, the most important innovations were made in the development of the chassis, mechanics and bodywork. The engine and gearbox unit was, in fact, located between the two chassis bars in order to optimize the performance and the drivability.
The Fiat 806 Driven stroke , sometimes also described as Fiat 806 Grand Prix or Fiat 806/406 , was a racing car to be built by the Turin house in 1927 , which represented the first single-seater from Grand Prix ever built. For Fiat it was also the last one.
