The new car was unveiled at the 1970 Geneva Motor Show. Then its creator believed that the vehicle of the future should look like this.

For the 1970s, the car designed by Paolo Martin was simply space-based. It used a low seating position, aerodynamic shape, an almost horizontal windshield. Everything looked innovative, as in some modern bikes .

The novelty was developed several years before the official presentation. And she went through more than one stage of transformation. But in the end, the designer's idea could not but be reflected in the subsequent trace in the history of the automotive industry.

The Italian wanted to create a memorable car from the future. And he began with a sketch on an old sheet of draft. At that time, Paolo Martin's colleagues were skeptical about his idea. At first, they thought that the car was too unusual and would be perceived by the public with skepticism.

The design revision lasted almost two years. And yet Martin managed to bring the futuristic car to the prototype stage. As a result, even the director of Pininfarina S.p.A. and fellow developers apologized for past complaints.
