02Production & history

| Total model productionapproximately 170 Cisitalia 202 coupés and convertibles of all coachbuilders, 1947–1952 | 1701 | Factory production | Independently researched |

History
Piero Dusio formed Cisitalia in Turin in October 1944. After the single-seater D46, which used Fiat 500B Topolino parts, the two-seat 202 coupe followed a year later and the 202 roadster soon after. The 202 differed from the D46 mainly by a four-speed gearbox in place of the three-speed preselector. Tazio Nuvolari's second place in the first post-war Mille Miglia gave the roadster body the name 'Nuvolari Spyder'. Production of the 202 ended in 1952, and Dusio then sold the company.
