Ive never seen one either. They have done so many over the years. Do you know what its celebrating? What a great badge.

Ah ha
Giannini 750 Sport with starting number 233 broke the speed record in its category during the 1949 Mille Miglia covering the 1.593 Km in 16h 55min.


I shall now call Noop (my 2019 Panda) Giannini for short!

Are you playboy enough for Gianni Agnelli’s Fiat Panda?

The perpetual style icon, bon vivant and once head of Italy’s most powerful family, Giovanni ‘Gianni’ Agnelli was well known for his love of exotic cars. And his position as the patriarch of Fiat enabled him to commission some wild one-offs, from factory-built drop-top versions of the Lancia...

I’m not sure if this was launched in connection with this or not?

Giannini Automobili S.p.A. is an Italian tuningcompany and a former producer of cars. Their focus has mainly been on Fiat cars. It was founded in 1920 by brothers Attilio and Domenico Giannini. The company headquarters are in Rome, Italy.

Can’t find any specific reference to the Panda though.

I knew Giannini did some hot 500s and FIAT based specials. I wonder if that Panda has any rapid bits bolted on?

 

[bruu]

It looks like a ‘special’ of some sort and as you mentioned Gionnini were a tuning specialist so it could well have been tweaked, like the Gionnini steering wheel.

edit thats 93km/hr so around 60mph average. That is impressive for 1949 it would be good now
