General The "Puntograle" one off show car!

[J333EVO]

Hi, thought I would post these on here as it's unlikely that most of you would have ever seen this car before as its is a one off show car from the coach builders Maggiora from Turin, Italy. They built such cars as the Maserati 5000GT & Mistral in 1967 upto the Lancia integrale EVO 2's, Lancia Kappa & more recently the FIAT Barchetta.

It has the full running gear from a 2L 4WD 16V Turbo Lancia Dedra and was officially called the Grama 2 but the workers nick named the "Puntograle".

Sorry the picks are not to good but they are photos from an intagrale book called Lancia integrale The Complete Story.

Enjoy.

COOL!
That car rules! Must shift a bit with that kind of running gear!

Too rite, 200+bhp 220+ lbs/ft of torque and 4WD to put it all on the road, must be at least as quick as an integrale

And as it sits on what is effectively an integrale drive train (minus some clever diff thing or something) it must corner like its stuck to the road!

Yeah, Puntos are pretty light (which is why my knackered 1.1 will still show Nova SRis who;s boss on country lanes ) so with 4wd and that kind of power... must be awesome!
