Vehicle history:
If a Fiat costs more than a Ferrari, then the Fiat must be a special one. This is exactly the case with the Fiat Ghia 1500 GT. According to the manufacturer, only 846 examples of this model were built. The Ghia 1500 GT was based on the rather staid Fiat 1500 C and was developed in-house by the Turin-based body specialist Ghia. With a shortened body and increased performance, the coupé achieved a respectable top speed of over 180 km/ h. Its balanced weight distribution of exactly 50:50 ensured excellent handling characteristics. The Ghia was not designed as a racing car, but as an exclusive sports coupé. The hand-trimmed bodywork, the above-average production quality, the comfortable seating position on well-shaped sports seats and the good all-round view through the large windows are worthy of special mention. The 1500 GT was available in six standard colors with an extensive list of additional options, including a dual exhaust or an overdrive. The attractive, very rare coupé invites you to take a leisurely cruise and guarantees many interested glances. There are said to be only 70 of these models left in the world.
