T denotes the new innovation, a Tubular Chasis and 48 denotes 1948. |
The new car produced 260BHP, an increase in 40BHP from the previous model, brought by the introduction of a Twin-Supercharger. The 4CLT/48 was sometimes refered to as the Sanremo, after winning at the circuit on its debut. [[Alberto Ascari]]'s victory at the [[1948 Sanremo Grand Prix]] was followed by wins for [[Reg Parnell]] and [[Luigi Villoresi]]. The car took six wins in 1948 and was also notable for being the car that [[Juan Manuel Fangio]] raced in his early European racing career. |
