From 1924 the company was being run under receivership, and they appointed Giulio Cesare Cappa from Fiat as general manager. He produced a new car, the Tipo 61 with 7-cylinder alloy engine, which was well received, but he then decided to return to motor sport producing in 1925 the Itala mod.11, a very advanced single seat racing car with a 1050 cc supercharged V12 engine that developed 60 CV at 7,000rpm. It had front-wheel drive and all-round independent suspension, with a top speed of around , but the car never raced. Two Tipo 61s did take part in the 1928 Le Mans 24 hour race, winning the 2-litre class.
