this is a nice comparison, as I know of people who would love to have both cars... I voted for the Otto Vu, which only recently has been receiving the credits it deserves.
Here is a picture of the engine, and if you call the 5.3 Chevy a small block, just compare it to this,,,

I'd say the fiat. IMHO, better looking, and hey! It's got a V8! Nothing beats a V8 rumble in my book.

that depends, the Cisitalia came with one body style only (in coupe and cabrio) but the Fiat had many different bodies. The V8 also lives on in the Siata 208, of which also many versions were made.

For me the Fiat 8V Zagato Elaborata, one of the most beautiful cars ever made. And of course you get a V8 that was only used in this particular car.

Ah...well then I want the body from the pictures! It's actually a pretty nice looking car, IMHO.
