Overview

Specially designed by Franco Reggiani for Count Giannino Marzotto, the ‘Uovo’, nicknamed for its egg-shaped front grille and streamlined, jet fuselage-like bodywork, enjoyed a competitive period on the racing tracks of Europe in the 1951 and ’52 seasons. The car’s lightweight, aerodynamic bodywork, twin shock absorbers, large petrol tank and excellent visibility all combined to give it a dynamic racing edge over its rivals.
