A new lightweight riveted lightweight alloy body was designed in addition to built by Piero Drogo. It was an boldy designed machine, oriented to endurance races. It uses normal ISO underpinnings though the engine was moved further back in the chassis frame compared to the Grifo A3L, protruding well into the driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by several big Weber carburettors, giving more than 600 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
