The Fiat Zero, known also as the Fiat 12/15 hp,[note 1] was a car produced by Fiat from 1912 to 1915. At launch it sold for 8,000 lire, which later was reduced to 6,900 lire. It was equipped with a 1,800 cc (1.8 L), 18 PS (13.2 kW) engine that achieved about 19.6 mpg‑US (8.3 km/l) and could reach about 50 mph (80 km/h). It was the first Fiat to sell more than 2,000 similarly bodied units, most being four-seater bodies. Production ended in 1915 when the factory was converted for war production.
