*Fiat 1100 S MM "Gobbone" – The Mille Miglia Legend
*
It doesn’t get much better than this. This is not just any Fiat 1100—this is the Fiat 1100 S "Gobbone", an ultra-rare and truly iconic Mille Miglia race car built with a single purpose: speed.

A compact, lightweight sports coupé, designed by Dante Giacosa, featuring an aerodynamically advanced body that was revolutionary in the 1940s. And the best part? This exact car competed in the official Mille Miglia race in both 1951 and 1952! That means this Fiat didn’t just exist in the era of the legendary 1,000-mile race through Italy—it was an integral part of it.

Its full racing history is documented, including original race photographs. When it comes to motorsport heritage, this car belongs in an exclusive league of historic vehicles with an extraordinary backstory. This is a car that is welcomed at the world’s most prestigious motoring events.


*A Fiat with Grand Prix DNA
*
In 1947, Fiat decided it was time to create something special. The standard Fiat 1100 was completely reengineered, receiving a streamlined, race-focused body built specifically for endurance racing.

What makes the 1100 S "Gobbone" so special?

- Revolutionary design – An aerodynamically sculpted body with no bumpers, rear fender skirts, and the unmistakable triple-split front grille.
- Featherweight construction – Weighing only 825 kg, engineered purely for speed.
- Powerful 1.1-liter four-cylinder engine – Producing 51 hp at 5,200 rpm, allowing a top speed of 150 km/h in 1948!
- Mille Miglia racing pedigree – This model finished 5th, 6th, 7th, and 9th in the 1947 Mille Miglia, with the 1100 S even claiming a podium finish in 1948!

Fiat built only 401 examples, and since these cars were extensively used for racing, very few have survived. Most were pushed to their limits on the track, their engines pushed to the brink, eventually fading into automotive history.
But this example, offered by Gallery Aaldering, has survived it all. And in spectacular fashion.
