1965 Galt Communista Facciamo GT Edition.--------------------------------------------------------
In 1964, Facciamo Cars were interested in the somewhat "crappy" Communista From upstart company, Galt. They saw the machine as a ample tuning base. When the Five Communista Cars they ordered Arrived, they were disappointed at its base engine. So the body, engine, and drive-line were removed, leaving only the Chassis and Suspension. In place of the standard 4 cylinder engine, Facciamo put their own 4.0L V8 that produced 309hp.
Initial testing with a rough body showed that most of the suspension system had to be reworked, so that's what they did. When they made a new body for the car, it was re-made in a similar shape to the Communista, but Facciamo's own spin was put on it. everything was custom but the door handles.
They finished off the interior with a large heaping of leather and some super luxury entertainment. However, they only put two seats in the Facciamo GT edition, as this was made with track presence in mind. The car had a top speed of 232.5km/h and was able to make 4.84km/L. The Race Quad Carbs meant excellent air intake and such. The first five made sold instantly, and the response from the five owners pushed Facciamo to make more.
Instead of it being a full production car, Facciamo decided to make it an overhaul package. Tunes were done from 1966 until 1968, with each overhaul taking about 3 months.
Facciamo knew that the KHT tune was better, but Facciamo wanted to see what they could do, and a V8 Communista was what they ended up with.
