Giannini was one of the many small sports car manufacturers of the 50s. The Rome-based company in the sixties also dedicated itself to preparing the Fiat 500, exactly as Abarth did. The 500 TV (Turismo Veloce) was the first elaboration of the series, presented in 1965. The engine of the 500 D was not modified in size, developed 25 horsepower and allowed a top speed of 105 km / h. Few aesthetic changes, including the front frieze and perforated rims.
