🔧 While often attributed to Aurelio Lampredi, Giacosa’s management brought the Fiat Twin-Cam engine (1966) to life. This bialbero was an internal combustion revelation. It was an alloy-head, chain-driven masterpiece that would go on to power Lancias, Abarths, and even Ferraris (the Dino). It remains one of the most durable and tunable IC engines in history.

The engine’s compactness allowed for the rear-engine layout, maximizing interior space. dante giacosa motori endotermici
