the first car produced by Fiat

Isn't it a little cutie?  The FIAT 4 HP, sometimes called the 3½ CV, was the first model of car produced by the Italian automotive manufacturer. Eight examples were produced in its first year, 1899; four of them have survived into museums.  The car had a 0.7-litre, 2-cylinder, rear engine mounted to a 3-speed gearbox; no reverse gear was included. With this tiny engine the car could achieve top speed of 35 km/h (22 mph). Despite having such a small engine, the car 's fuel consumption wasn't that impressive: 8 litres per 100 km or 29 miles per US gallon.
