A new lightweight riveted alloy body was designed along with built by Piero Drogo. It was an boldy designed machine, oriented to endurance backgrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings even so the engine was moved further back the chassis frame than the Grifo A3L, protruding well into this driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by 4 big Weber carburettors, giving more than 400 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
