The Fiat 515 is a 4-door sedan / 4-door landaulette from Fiat, built from 1931 to 1935, when streamlining and independent suspension were arriving together. Under the bonnet: 1438 .
The background
The Fiat 515 is a passenger car produced by Fiat between 1931 and 1935. The 515 is a "hybrid", with a Fiat 514 engine in the larger 522 chassis. The car was also made in a long version as the 515 L. 3400 of this model were produced.
The engineering
Power comes from 1438 . It weighs 1150 kg. It shifts through a 4-speed manual. The layout matters: a front engine drives the rear wheels, the classic proportion — long bonnet, cabin set back — that most people picture when they picture a sports saloon or a grand tourer. The wheelbase is 258 cm / 287 cm (515 L). These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
Its family tree is legible: it took over from the Fiat 514; its successor was the Fiat 1500. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Bugatti Type 57, the Chevrolet Suburban, the Hispano-Suiza J12 — show what else the money bought that year. Its Fiat stablemates include the FIAT 702 and the Fiat 1.
What it costs now
There is no federal ownership record for the Fiat 515 — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.
