01 / THE STORY

History & context

The Bandini Siluro (1951) was coachbuilt by Motto. During this period, the Bandini Siluro was developed as a lightweight sports car, emphasizing aerodynamic efficiency and performance. The design process involved meticulous attention to proportions and construction methods, with a focus on achieving a streamlined silhouette suitable for competitive driving contexts. Mechanically, the vehicle was equipped with a chassis that prioritized agility and responsiveness, allowing for effective handling on both road and track. Powered by a compact engine, the Siluro’s configuration facilitated a balance between power and weight, enhancing its performance characteristics. The chassis was engineered for optimal rigidity while maintaining a lightweight structure, which was a hallmark of Bandini’s approach to sports car design. The suspension system was designed to provide stability and control, further contributing to the model’s favorable dynamics in various driving conditions.
