“I'll come and pick you up tonight on my Torpedo Blu…” An immortal song by Giorgio Gaber to remember a legendary car, yes, produced by Ansaldo! Among its many activities, Ansaldo was also involved in the production of automobiles. Car-automobile construction began in 1918 with four test chassis (chassis). The first was built in the Gio. Ansaldo & C. Aviation Engine Plant in San Martino di Sampierdarena, the other three were built in the San Giorgio plant in Turin.

The Torpedo, in particular, was a type of open bodywork for cars that was very popular in the early decades of the twentieth century. Now no longer in use, it still remains a symbol of elegance and refinement with that iconic, enchanting blue color.
