Geneva ‘74 50 years on: Michelotti Lem. The Laboratorio Elettrico Mobile has started as an idea by engineering journalist Gianni Rogliatti who proposed an electric car with wheels in a rhomboidal layout. Michelotti built the prototype using bonded aluminium with the centrally placed rear wheel driven by 48 Volt batteries. It was displayed 50 years ago at the 44th Geneva Motor Show

Swiss chapter: 1956 Fiat 1100 TV Coupé by Ghia-Aigle
We don’t know how many of these specimens were produced, but we believe, with good reason, that there are very few of them, very few.
Ghia-Aigle originally operated as a subsidiary of Carrozzeria Ghia, becoming independent in 1953 and temporarily located in Lugano (1954–58). Designers were mainly from Ghia, including Mario Boano (1948–51), Giovanni Michelotti (1948–57), and Pietro Frua…

Fiat 750 Nardi S (1 of 50).
Enrico Nardi is a well known name in the classic steering wheel world. What he is less known for, was his significant role in the 50's and 60's as an Italian tuning company which built its own cars with competition heart. In 1956 Enrico designed, based on the Fiat 600 chassis, the 750 Vignale Coupé Nardi. The 600 cc Fiat engine was given a little more espresso and was increased to 750cc. The body was designed by Michelotti who worked for VIgnale and everything was assembled at Nardi's. Final result? Dannatamente buono! So good, that Enrico himself drove it in competitions; including the 1957 Mille Miglia!

👽1968 DAF Siluro Concept by Michelotti👽 The Siluro (Italian for torpedo) was an early example of wedge design. Based on the 55 model, like most DAFs, it used a Renault engine and had a belt-driven “variomatic” CVT transmission. Holland’s indigenous manufacturer, DAF, was a continuously variable transmission pioneer (Holland is quite flat). They were taken over by Volvo in the 70s, providing the Swedes with a ready-made small car range. The restored Siluro is housed at the DAF Museum in Eindhoven. • • Visit www.Story-Cars.com • • #storycars #carpage #conceptcar #conceptcars #rarecar #rarecars #prototype #prototypes #daf #dafsiluro #dafsiluroprototype #dafmichelotti #michelottidesign #michelotti https://www.instagram.com/p/CinoS3ppCDF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

1953 Siata 208S Spider
Siata is an acronym for Società Italiana Auto Trasformazione Accessori, the Turin-based firm founded in 1926 by Giorgio Ambrosini, and which ceased production in 1970.
Much like Abarth, Siata developed its business by manufacturing performance parts for Fiat, gaining greater exposure after World War II as motorsport came back to the fore in Europe and the Americas. As 750 cc-powered race cars grew in displacement, Siata-modified vehicles gained prominence and the attention of stateside racers like Briggs Cunningham and Ernie McAfee. The latter was a Los Angeles–based importer who drove one of the first Siata-enhanced examples in the 1953 Carrera Panamericana race.
Fiat, meanwhile, had developed a 2.0-liter V-8 engine for its luxury sports car, the Otto Vu. While only 49 examples of that model were constructed, there remained additional Fiat V-8 engines that were acquired by Siata to power its new 208S Spider, unveiled in 1952. Only 33 examples were bodied by Carrozzeria Rocca Motta, of Turin, from 1953 to 1955. The car was not only powerful for its day, but supremely beautiful.
Designed by Giovanni Michelotti, these perfectly proportioned roadsters defined the iconic look of the era’s rugged sports cars. Equally stunning was the 208 CS, a coupe version of which only 18 were made, 11 bodied by Balbo and seven by Stabilimenti Farina. Topped with twin Weber carburetors and tuned by Siata, Fiat’s 2.0-liter OHV alloy V-8 engine develops more than 125 hp at 6,000 rpm, which is good enough to give the car a top speed of nearly 125 mph.

Triumph TR4 Surrey Top, 1961. An early example of a targa roof though it wasn't called that. The Giovanni Michelotti designed TR4 was available with a fixed rear-window and a removable roof panel.
