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.
There was also a light bodied version produced which claimed various speed records.[which?]
Notes
[edit]- ^ The letters 'hp' defined its fiscal horsepower rather than its bhp.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
