Ansaldo (car)
The Ansaldo was an Italian automobile manufactured by the armaments concern Gio. Ansaldo & C. from 1921 to 1931 based in Torino. The company entered car manufacture with an OHC Template:Convert inline-four engine model which could develop Template:Convert at 3600 rpm. A sports version with Template:Convert engine was offered, as was a six-cylinder version of 1991 cc; later six-cylinders were offered with engines of 2179 cc.
Among the company's last cars was an OHV straight-8 of Template:Convert. Ansaldos were generally of good quality and modern design, and competed in many races. When Wikov began manufacture in Czechoslovakia in 1928, they built the Template:Convert Ansaldo Tipo 10.
In 1928 the company manufactured their first commercial chassis for omnibus and ambulance with front engine rear axle configuration powered by a two liter petrol inline four engine producing 35hp of power. Supporting was a four speed manual transmission which helped the vehicle achieve 38mph and with a 63 liter fuel tank capacity.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Next year the manufacturer also started to manufacture commercial taxi cars which were not much different than their standard parts.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
