History

Immediately after the war Carlo Abarth, variously credited as being Yugoslavian or Austrian,
settled in Italy and together with Rudolf Hruska became Porsche representatives to the Italian
auto industry. One of their first briefs was to find a constructor for a proposed Formula 1 car.
The Cisitalia company of Piero Dusio expanded the objective to include a complete product offering
but after the financial collapse of the firm the F1 prototype and Dusio departed for South America.Engine
