Fiat 8V Supersonic Coupe Ghia 1953
In the early 1950s the world was abuzz with excitement about the jet travel, space exploration, and there was a remarkable surge in new technologies. The Ghia Supersonic was a child of its time and today it’s looked upon as the distillation of the age.Giovanni Savonuzzi had originally designed the body to race, so aerodynamics were a paramount concern. He created a two-door sports car design that borrowed heavily from high-speed jet design from the era, the front grill looks almost like a jet intake, the horizontal line down each side of the body look a little like wings, the tail lights look like jet exhausts, and the cabin looks similar to a fighter jet cockpit.
