FactFiat named this scaled-up Zero after its own engine's internal model number, 52B.
The Fiat Tipo 2B, built between 1912 and 1920 (22,518 produced, 2,332 of them in 1912–1914), was a scaled-up version of the Zero, also known as the "52B" after the engine's Fiat model number. It has a 2815 cc four-cylinder side-valve monoblock engine with an 80 mm bore, 140 mm stroke and 4.2:1 compression ratio, producing 28 hp at 1800 rpm, with a 4-speed gearbox and a factory top speed of 70 km/h (43 mph) or 75 km/h (47 mph), on 815×105 tires; early cars had an angular radiator shell and later ones a taller pear-shaped one, and the chassis weighed 760 kg (1,680 lb), ready for various bodies. It succeeded the Brevetti and was replaced by the 505.

Vauxhall's first six-cylinder car started life as one prototype block, then production reverted to bolting two three-cylinder units together.
Of roughly 4,500 D-Types built, 1,556 went to the armed forces, most as British Army staff cars in the First World War.

Eight half-track versions of the B2 crossed Africa west to east in the 1924 'Croisière Noire' expedition — a publicity stunt that proved a mass-produced French car could handle terrain nobody thought an automobile could cross.
Volvo's first car launched a day late because someone fitted the differential backwards and it drove in reverse.
Vauxhall didn't just build the 14-40 at home — it shipped knock-down kits to Australia to be assembled there too.
Four-wheel braking was still a novelty when the 23-60 launched — Vauxhall first sold front brakes as a pricey £55 option, then made them standard across the line in July 1924.
A Lagonda LG45 finished fourth at the 1936 24 Hours of Spa, then lined up for the French Grand Prix and the 1937 Le Mans 24 Hours — a road sports car racing wheel to wheel with grand prix cars.
