Have you ever heard of the Italian company Societ\u00e0 Italiana Applicazioni Trasformazioni Automobilistiche? Probably not. Even the abbreviation Siata is hardly familiar nowadays. It all began in 1926, when Giorgio Ambrosini founded this company in Turin. He had already manufactured and marketed his own automobiles under the name Vittoria before World War 1. With Siata, he was mainly concerned with tuning Fiat models until World War 2. In the post-war years, the company began its own automobile production, remaining faithful to Fiat technology. Within a very short time, a complete range of models was created, from small cars to sports cars. In 1953, there were a total of 13 different models from Siata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Siata 208 with Fiat 8V technology<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Siata 208, which was introduced in 1953 and was based on the Fiat 8V presented the previous year, became better known outside Italy. The Italian brand probably chose this model designation on the erroneous assumption that the term “V8” might be protected in the USA. A two-liter V8 engine provided the power under the front hood. In the Fiat, over the course of the production run, power increased from the original 105, first to 115, and finally to 127 horsepower. Siata used specially developed, sharper camshafts and three twin Weber carburetors. As a result, up to 140 hp was available. Power was transmitted to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. In contrast to the Fiat, Siata used an independent space frame with independent suspension all around. This basic drivable chassis was then sent to the coachbuilder chosen by the respective customer.<\/p>\n\n\n
