The Bandini 1100 Siluro is a racing car produced from 1947 to 1949 by Bandini Automobili in Forlì, Italy. The 1100 Siluro was the first Bandini model created expressly for racing. The style and materials were selected for speed, performance and weight-savings. The name Siluro (English: torpedo) was chosen to acknowledge the aerodynamic shape and was thought to be a good omen for the races. Initially, to reduce weight and simplify repairs, they were not even painted.

  • The Bandini 1100 Siluro is a racing car produced from 1947 to 1949 by Bandini Automobili in Forlì, Italy. The 1100 Siluro was the first Bandini model created expressly for racing. The style and materials were selected for speed, performance and weight-savings. The name Siluro (English: torpedo) was chosen to acknowledge the aerodynamic shape and was thought to be a good omen for the races. Initially, to reduce weight and simplify repairs, they were not even painted. The 1100 Siluro first participated in competitions in 1949. These included Italian competitions such as the "Giro dell'Umbria" (Lap of Umbria), the "Pescara Circuit", and the "Senigallia Circuit", as well as more important, internationally recognized events, such as Mille Miglia. It was driven by Richard W. Gent at Watkins Glen in the 1951 Grand Prix, introducing the cars to the auto-sports fans of the United States. (en)

Questo tipo è la prima Bandini nata espressamente per le corse.Lo stile e le forme sono votate alla pura velocità, alle prestazioni e alla leggerezza. Lo stesso nome, siluro, con cui viene identificata, voleva indicarne la penetrazione aerodinamica ed essere di buon auspicio per le gare. Inizialmente, per guadagnare in leggerezza e rapidità nelle riparazioni, non venivano neanche verniciate. Bandini e Cantelli alla partenza della "Mille miglia" (1949). È la prima Bandini a partecipare a competizioni in Italia come il "Giro dell'Umbria" il circuito di Pescara" e al "Circuito di Senigallia" ma anche di respiro mondiale come la "Mille miglia" del 1949. Si mise in mostra, guidata da Richard W. Gent al "Queen Catherine Cup" a Watkins Glen di fronte a duecentomila spettatori aprendo alle auto forlìvesi la strada della notorietà negli Stati Uniti d'America .
