The 208 S is a model of automobile manufactured by SIATA between 1952 and 1954.
Launched in 1952, the 208 Sport had a sporty lightweight bodywork of spider design, crafted from aluminum which wasdesigned by Giovanni Michelotti (Bertone). Mechanically derived in part from the Fiat 8V, with whom it shared the powerful V8 engine at 70° of two liters of displacement, which developed 140 hp. The power allowed her to reach 200 km/h.
The engine was housed in a tubular steel frame. Unfortunately, the high price (5400 U.S. dollars) decreed failure despite the cars talents.
Only 56 cars were made.
