A new lightweight riveted aluminum body was designed and built by Piero Drogo. It was an in a hostile manner designed machine, oriented to endurance races. It uses normal ISO underpinnings however the engine was moved further last the chassis frame as opposed to Grifo A3L, protruding well into this driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by a number of big Weber carburettors, giving more than 400 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
