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