1/43 Isotta Fraschini Type 8A Spyder (1926, burgundy & black)

The Isotta Fraschini Type 8A is a luxury car made by the Italian manufacturer Isotta Fraschini from 1924 until 1931. It was the successor to the Type 8 model, with a new 7.3-litre straight-eight engine to replace the 5.9-litre unit used in the previous model. This new engine could produce 115–160 PS (85–118 kW). This was the most powerful mass-produced straight-8 engine in the world at that time. The Type 8A was offered only with bare chassis and engine for the coachbuilders.
The Isotta Fraschini car company promised that every car could do 150 km/h (93 mph). The car was very luxurious and it cost more than a Model J Duesenberg. Around one third of these cars were sold in the United States. The characteristic car body was made by Swiss manufacturer Carrosserie Worblaufen.
