The Tipo FE was introduced by Isotta Fraschini in 1908. Also known as Tipo FENC, this was one of the first European cars to use a pressed steel monocoque chassis, improving rigidity and reducing weight. With a 4-speed manual transmission and power sent to the rear wheels, the Tipo FE was designed to be a lightweight sports car, yet with capabilities suitable for road use. With a 1.2L inline four engine it reached a maximum speed of approximately 80 km/h. The Tipo FE had an advanced design for the time, with a robust yet lightweight structure, making it agile and fast compared to its competitors. Produced until 1911, the Isotta Fraschini Tipo FE is considered a historic model within the evolution of the brand, which would later focus on luxury and large-displacement cars.
