02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
No production figures recorded yet.
History
Diatto was a Turin carmaker active between 1905 and 1929 that was later revived as a brand. The Ottovu was first shown as a Zagato concept at Geneva, and Zagato then announced the GT as a small production run.
The announcement described the car as an aluminium berlinetta planned for limited production. The engine was not named at the first announcement; later press gives a supercharged Ford-derived 4.6-litre V8.
