Otto Vu

By , About.com Guide   September 15, 2009

Follow me on:

If you go batty for B.A.T., then you're probably familiar with the "Otto Vu"—Italian for 8V (as in V-8 engine) and the nickname for the Fiat 8V Zagato. It was a signature design of Elio Zagato and one of the Italian automotive designer's favorite cars. Zagato's recent death set Italian car connoisseurs to debate the best work to come out of the Zagato design firm, singling out designs such as the 938 Lancia Aprilia Sport Aerodinamica, the Ferrari 250 GTZ, the 250 GT Berlina, and the 1949 Maserati 1500Z Panoramica
