【豪快で純粋なドライビング】CISITALIA 202 SC CABRIOLET 1948年製【The Classic Car】2/3 #クラシックカー　チシタリア

Unlike modern cars, which are digitally charged and computer-controlled, these are vehicles handcrafted by artisans over half a century ago. These classic cars, cherished by generations of owners and passed down to the next, are true cultural heritage. We'll showcase them not only in beautiful driving scenes, but also with meticulously filmed close-ups of their brakes, clutches, engine compartments, and other components. This program, "The Car Takes Center Stage," features interviews with owners and mechanics. This episode's star: The Italian-made CISITALIA 202 SC CABRIOLET (1948) Before World War II, there was a man named Piero Dúsio who made his fortune in the Italian textile industry and also played professionally for the prestigious Juventus. After the war, he founded CISITALIA to create his ideal racing car. The Tipo 202 series coupe was the first sports car produced by Cisitalia, and its superb performance and design quickly earned it a reputation as a "classic car." A year later, the subject of this episode, the CABRIOLET, was created. Its selling price surpassed even the already expensive coupe, and its customers included many world-renowned figures such as Henry Ford II and Ingrid Bergman and his wife. However, due to massive investments in GP car development, the company's finances deteriorated, and Cisitalia quietly disappeared from the public eye. Despite a production run of fewer than 300 units, its name is etched in automotive history. This particular car is one of the few remaining original convertible models, a valuable example that tells the story of that era.
