The Isotta Fraschini Tipo KM is a luxury car produced between 1910 and 1914 in Italy.

[1] Many of those 50 examples were exported to the United States, where the company had a branch on New York's Broadway.

The engine of the Tipo KM, developed 120 hp (89 kW) at 1600 rpm, had a bore and stroke of 130 x 200mm (5.12x7.87 in), liberally-drilled pistons of the finest BND Derihon steel that weighed less than 32 ounces (907 grams) and tubular BND conrods 16 inches (410 mm) long that tipped the scales at just 7 lb (3,1 kg).

[2] Pioneer motor racer Charles Jarrott named the 100-hp Isotta Fraschini as ‘tops’ of the pre-1914 sports cars.

Performance was in keeping with the price demanded: in 1913 the famed racing driver Ray Gilhooley lapped the Indianapolis Brickyard oval in 1 minute 52 seconds, six seconds faster than the average of that year's “500” winner, at the wheel of a stock-bodied 1912 Tipo KM complete with windshield, spare tires and fenders, and with four passengers aboard.
