Bizzarinni Manta - thought to have influenced the Lotus Esprit (both designed by Giugiaro)

As a kid, I had photos of that cut out of Car magazine (when it was good...) and stuck tot he bedroom wall. I loved the design – especially the 'lightweight' sills...

Road & Track again described the car “yet another 200-mph suppository in bright orange. A big Chevy inhabited the back along with a sort of baking tin for luggage while the lucky driver sat between his two passengers (birds, I should think) terribly close to the accident in front. Rosemeyer himself would think twice before driving that one in the wet. What with the weight distribution, venetian blinds on the nose and chrome bushbars on the rear, I am afraid that it wasn't my cup of tea.”

Look more like a variation Maser Merak rims but you see them on Bizzarinni Stradas, which are made campagnolo.

These aren't the rims you are looking for, but a nice pic nonetheless
