Cisitalia 202 Streamliner 1947
Known by Cisitalia as the ‘Savonuzzi Streamliner’, or ‘Aerodynamica Savonuzzi’ it was designed by Giovanni Savonuzzi with the help of the small wind tunnel at the Turin Polytecnico and the model and drawings handed to Vignale for construction.
Forty years later, in the full size Pininfarina windtunnel, the car achieved a CD of a very low .029.There were three Cisitalia Mille Miglia coupes. 001 was a mule without streamlining or fins, and CMM (for Coupe Mille Miglia) 001 and 002 were both raced by Taruffi in the Mille Miglia; 001 CMM in the 1947 event, and 002 CM in the 1948 event. Both of the CMM cars had high fins.
The round portholes suggest that this particular car is 001CM, but it is not confirmed. Note the similarities between the Savonuzzi Aerodynamica and the later 202 as transfigured by Pininfarina in late 1947. This car was the genesis of the Pininfarina Cisitalia 202.Photo by Hugues Vanhoolandt
