FactProduction of the Zero stopped in 1915 only because the factory switched to building for the war.
The Fiat Zero, also known as the 12/15 hp, was built at Turin from 1912 to 1915, launching at 8,000 lire (later 6,900). It had an 1847 cc (1.8 L), 18 bhp engine giving about 19.6 mpg (US) and about 50 mph, and was the first Fiat to sell more than 2,000 similarly bodied units, most four-seaters; production ended in 1915 when the factory was converted to war production, and a light-bodied version claimed various speed records. The letters "hp" gave its fiscal horsepower rather than its bhp. Length 144.1 in, width 57.1 in.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

In 1974 Alfa built a one-off on this Spider: a Porsche-style solid rear window and lift-out roof panels, fewer than 2,000 made, the only Spider ever with a part-solid roof.
Over 100,000 people voted to name this car "Duetto" — but a chocolate-snack maker had already trademarked the word, and a Milan court ruling forced Alfa to sell it as the Spider 1600 instead.
After nearly 25 years of manual-only Spiders, the final Series 4 cars quietly added something Alfa purists never expected: an optional automatic transmission.
The mid-80s Spider's Quadrifoglio Verde trim went all-in on a single look: blood-red carpets and grey leather with red stitching, and it only ever came in three exterior colors.
This Spider was built not by Alfa but by Pininfarina itself, on a platform shared with General Motors.
The 916 Spider's strongest naturally aspirated engine, the 192 PS 3.0 12V Busso V6, was never offered in its GTV coupe twin.
The Frogeye had no boot lid at all — owners reached the spare wheel by tilting the seats forward into the dark cavity behind, a ritual they likened to potholing.
The Fairlady 2000's SR311 update came with a five-speed manual gearbox in 1967 — a genuinely unusual spec for any production car of that era.
