1940 - 1940 AAC Tipo 815

This was the first AAC, and the first car made by Ferrari. It was composed of mostly Fiat parts. Although this was a real "Ferrari", Enzo Ferrari was restrained by Alfa Romeo to not call it a "Ferrari." It was named after its 8 cylinder 1.5 liter engine from the Fiat 508. The only 815 that is still intact is chassis 815/021.
