One of the most iconic gull-wing design sports cars in history, with very little design changes throughout it’s brief but brilliant history. One of a select few cars that has retained its essential design and engineering philosophy. The perfect platform for customizing, in this example a factory option turbo kit.

The car features gull-wing doors and an innovative fiberglass chassis and underbody structure, along with a brushed stainless steel body.
