Before the Second World War he was one of Italy's leading amateur racers, campaigning his Alfa Romeos, Maseratis and Fiats in both road races and hill climbs.

To the delight of the crowd, Dusio drove it to a debut victory in the Brezzi Cup in Turin.

			A year later, the two seater 202 CMM coupe was launched, followed shortly by the 202 SMM roadster. It was similar in design to the D46, with the exception of the four-speed gearbox replacing the three-speed preselector box used in the D46. Nothing about the 202's design was particularly advanced, but it proved a competitive and above all, reliable package. Five weeks after 202 SMM's debut, Tazio Nuvolari finished second in the first post-War Mille Miglia behind the winning 8C 2900 Alfa Romeo. Ever since that class win, the body type is known as the 'Nuvolari Spider.'

It is fitted with an Abarth intake manifold and a higher compression ratio than standard, resulting in a 10 bhp power increase.
