Driven by Piero Taruffi at the 1948 Mille MigliaCoachwork by VignaleEstimate: $2,000,000 - $3,000,000Chassis: 002 CMM

The Cisitalia 202 CMM (Coupe Mille Miglia) is one of the most striking examples of streamlined coachwork and a testament to the brilliant collaboration between engineer Dante Giacosa, designer Giovanni Savonuzzi, and coachbuilder Alfredo Vignale.

Based on the Cisitalia’s successful 202 model – which featured an advanced chassis and modified Fiat 1100 mechanicals – the CMM was purpose built for endurance racing, with the first example unveiled at the 1947 racing season.

This car, chassis CMM-002, was built for the 1948 Mille Miglia, where it was entered by the factory team and driven by the legendary Piero Tarrufi and Domenico Rabbia. After many years in a Japanese collection, this spectacular Italian sports racing car is being presented at public auction for the first time. Rarely seen in public, this fascinating car is an ideal event entry for both rallies and concours.
