Stroke 57 - Fiat 850 Sport Coupé




This car is not emblematic, but, has a very special place in my memory.

It attracted me a lot when I was a kid, not only for its sporty image, but also by strong colors with which it was marketed.

From a completely banal car, the 850, Fiat has created in 1965 this little car with a design close to the Ferrari design, and used very unusual colors for the time. Basically, this was a cheap Ferrari.

But let's get to SketchUp, and the images used in the modulation:


The images used to texture:


The basic modulation:


And the final effect with textures:


The photomontage, very Italian:


The video to show the complete job.


And the "photo-blueprint" of the final model.

  1. Hi Jose. Would you be willing to share the model file with me? My grand mother had this car in Spain when I was a child and I would like to see if I could make a physical model of the car with 3D printing. I do work with 3DS Max myself and could build it...but your model looks good, so it would save me some time. contact me at jdc@(delete)it.dk

    1. Hello, my model is very basic, the detail is in the photographic textures, I doubt it will serve to print the 3d, but you can download a very, very good model from Geogeo in 3d warwhouse: https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/a5e4dab228fa66fab1386c6d635d3153/FIAT-850-SPORT-COUPE-1968
