Giulio Cesare Cappa created a sophisticated and revolutionary car: one of the first single-seaters with avant-garde technical features, including a 12-cylinder V engine with just 1050 cc, supercharged by a Roots volumetric compressor, front-wheel drive, independent four-wheel suspension, a reinforced wooden chassis, and an engine, gearbox, and differential unit in a single block. This proved to be a long and difficult process, and above all too costly for Itala’s delicate economic situation.
