	Supercars.net - 1949 Porsche 360 Cisitalia
		Cisitalia (the name comes from Consorzio Industriale Sportive Italia) was founded by Piero Dusio, an ex-footballer who had become a rich industrialist through the success of his own firm, CISI (textiles, banks, sports goods, hotels).
		His idea was to create a race series using his to be cheap single seaters, with mainly Fiat parts (1100 engine and 500 suspension).
		In addition to the new Formula 1 single-seater, they were planning to build a 2000 cc Grand Sport 5-6 seater, an 11 HP universal tractor, and a small turbine.

		Designed in 1946 by the Italian car designer and coach builder Pinin Farina (who later changed his name to Pininfarina), the two-seater Cisitalia "202" GT was an aesthetic and technical achievement that transformed postwar automobile body design.
		Building on aerodynamic studies developed for racing cars, the Cisitalia offers one of the most accomplished examples of coachwork (the automobile's body) conceived as a single shell.
		Before the Cisitalia, the prevailing approach followed by automobile designers when defining a volume and shaping the shell of an automobile was to treat each part of the body as a separate, distinct element—a box to house the passengers, another for the motor, and headlights as appendages.

	Cisitalia - WOI Encyclopedia Italia (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The name "Cisitalia" derives from "Consorzio Industriale Sportive Italia," a business conglomerate founded in Turin in 1946 and controlled by the wealthy industrialist and sportsman Piero Dusio.
		Cisitalia was a Formula One constructor from Italy.
		In the MOMA's first exhibit on automotive design, called "Eight Automobiles", the Cisitalia was displayed with seven other cars (1930 Mercedes-Benz SS tourer, 1939 Bentley saloon with coachwork by James Young, 1939 Talbot-Lago Figoni teardrop coupé, 1951 Willys Jeep, 1937 Cord 812 Custom BeverlySedan, 1948 MG TC, and the 1941 Lincoln Continental coupe).

	Grand Prix Cars - Cisitalia D46
		The Cisitalia's greatest claim to fame was actually brought about by a mechanical failure.
		The Cisitalia had a hinged steering wheel that moved out of the way to allow drivers more room to get in and out.
		Because he actually drove a couple of laps without a working steering wheel he was given a heavy fine by the organizers only to be outweighed by the ecstasy to which he brought the crowd.

	Howstuffworks "Cisitalia 202 Gran Sport"
		Not surprisingly, Cisitalia's first cars were single-seat 1100-cc racers based on cheap and commonly available Fiat mechanical components.
		The first two-seat Cisitalias were lightweight racing coupes and roadsters with aluminum bodies bearing rear fender skirts and large tailfins.
		Meantime, Cisitalia 202 Gran Sport production was slated to resume in Italy under new ownership, and did, but the cars were basically cobbled-up amalgams of special bodies and workaday chassis and drivetrains.

	CanadianDriver: Motoring Memories - Cisitalia 202 Gran Sport, 1947-1952
		Cisitalia's single seaters and sports racers enjoyed considerable success, especially in the hands of Nuvolari who placed his 202 second overall in the 1947 Mille Miglia (1,000 mile) race, beaten only by a much larger Alfa Romeo.
		By 1950 the resources of the Cisitalia company were drained, and in an attempt at revival the operation was moved to Argentina on the hope of obtaining government assistance.
		Cisitalia came back to Italy in 1952 where it managed to produce some revived versions of the 202.

	Cisitalia 360
		Their first racer was called the D46 (it was produced in 1946) - a car with a space frame chassiis that was as structurally advanced as anything racing at the time complemented by many parts from Fiat road cars including a tuned 1100 cc Fiat engine.
		Following quickly on the success of this modestly specified car, Cisitalia decided to build a full formula 1 car - and not just any formula 1 car but just about the most extravagantly specified racer anybody was even considering at that time.
		However the Cisitalia had a space frame chassis, a 1½ litre supercharged flat 12 engine, with the gearbox mounted ahead of the final drive and 4 wheel drive.
