Chronology
Predecessor
Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8B
The Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8C Monterosa was a prototype car, designed in secret during World War II,[2] of which between three and six were manufactured by Isotta Fraschini.
The Tipo 8C Monterosa cars were built between 1945 and 1949 with development having begun as early as 1943.[3] The model was intended to be Isotta Fraschini's initial post-war offering once normal industrial activity resumed. The Tipo 8C would be Isotta Fraschini's first new model since production of the Tipo 8B ended in 1934 after which all activities were limited to military rearmament/war production by the National Fascist Party in power.
