Piero Dusio was a wealthy Italian industrialist, who had also proven remarkably quick behind the wheel of a racing car. Among his most notable results was a third place finish in the 1938 Mille Miglia, driving an Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B. Long before the end of the War, he devised a plan to add (racing) car manufacturing to his already long list of activities. Operating under the acronym Cisitalia (Compagnia Industriale Sportiva Italia), he asked leading Fiat engineer Dante Giacosa in 1944 to design a brand new, single seater racing car in the evening hours. The father of the Fiat Topolino and still employed by the Turin-based manufacturer, Giacosa not surprisingly based the new Cisitalia on Fiat components. The tubular chassis, however, was bespoke and was among the very first to use spaceframe principles. The car's suspension followed Fiat lines with lower wishbones and a transverse leaf spring at the front and a live rear axle. The finned hydraulic drum brakes and gearbox were also retrieved from the Fiat-parts bin.
