Bianchi S5

Bianchi leveraged their bicycle-building expertise to create well-engineered automobiles with attention to detail. The S5 featured a smooth-running four-cylinder engine and quality coachwork. Bianchi's cars were respected for their reliability and finish, though they struggled to differentiate themselves in Italy's crowded automotive market. The company eventually focused on trucks and military vehicles, ending passenger car production in 1939.
