It is famous for having an oval test track on the roof (not bad for 1916). Part of the test track can be seen in the 1969 movie "The Italian Job". Lingotto was closed in 1982 and was rebuilt into a concert hall, theater and hotel. The Fiat Mirafiori plant is in/near Torino. The Sevel Sud plant is in Val di Sangro, Atessa, Italy.
