Waiting for Rick to chime in, IIRC, his didn’t live up to the hype. On Nov 4, 2021, at 11:03 PM, LSJ via Ferrari <ferrari [at] ferrarilist.com> wrote:
It was impressive...it was Italian!
It would have been amazing with a V12 or a V8.
Yes, the original contract was with Lamborghini to build it. The chassis was designed by Dallara, built by Marchesi with bodywork styled by Giugiaro and produced in Modena.
I still really like them just wish they were $150k instead of $100 million or whatever they are this week.

Although what I’ve read/heard was that execution left a lot to be desired. These were built by Lamborghini, correct?
There was (or still is?) one here in Vancouver.

BTW- the BMW M1 is one of my favorite Italian cars ever.
They were at $50k back in the day when I was first looking at them.
I have never driven one but friends who have said they were not very exciting.
I think the BMW engine is really well done but not enough drama to match the chassis and bodywork…especially at today’s values.
Another case of “never meet your heroes”…

Yes, a 1980... I think... too many cars ago.
Yep, had two fuel fillers
But I thought the wide body or "G" were done by Peter Stevens before he went on to do the McLaren F1.
I'm going to have to look that up... but not tonight.
And who thought the F1 was a Gordon Murray design???
Too bad, I was hoping you were looking at an M1... maybe next year? ;-)
