INTERMECCANICA TORINO ITALIA 1968 FERRARI DE TOMASO LAMBORGHINI MASTERATI SHELBY

Thanks to the sleek body lines penned by former General Motors designer Robert Cumberford, and panelwork by body builder Franco Scaglione, the Italia Torino features a long, low hood line, a compact cabin and an abrupt cutoff Kamm tail rear - trademark styling of other 1970s supercars such as the Ferrari Daytona Spider and the Maserati Ghibli spyder. Franco Scaglione had previous bodied the Alfa BAT series, the Alfa Sprint Speciale and the Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale, all stunning examples of Italian styling at its best. Abundant power was supplied with new 302 Ford Shelby Mustang engines, transmissions and rear axles shipped directly to Italia in Turino, and so Italia s/n 75414 was powered from new by an ultra-dependable 302 V8. Thanks to a light clutch the Italia Torino is user-friendly, easy to drive and certainly has no lack of power. While the Italia was easily capable of the supercar performance levels of the Ferrari Daytona Spider and the Maserati Ghibli spyder, the Italia was also known for its drivability at both low and high speeds, as well as its predictable, balanced and forgiving handling characteristics, attributable to near-perfect weight distribution and a low center of gravity. The lightweight small block Ford 302 was mounted deep in the chassis, permitting the low hood line, while a stiff suspension ensured that the tires did not foul the wheel arches. SN 48185311 IS ONE OF 133 TORINO ITALIAS BUILT IN 1968. THIS EXAMPLE IS THE 32ND BUILT OF 33 COUPES.
