"QUANTUM SHOT" #90(rev)
Link - by Avi Abrams

      This could be the most shapely car ever built: Beautiful
        Pininfarina-Alfa Romeo concept car (1969)

      This could be a classic case of split identity: two prototype cars had the
      same gorgeous body, both designed by the great Italian design firm
      Pininfarina in 1968-1969. The first was Pininfarina Ferrari 250 Prototipo
      P5, shown in Geneva in 1968; the second - Pininfarina Alfa Romeo 33 Coupe
      Prototipo Speciale, made for the Paris show in 1969.

      Treat your eyes to the slim and sensual forms the likes of which have not
      graced the streets since... well, 1969. Certainly we can not complain if
      Pininfarina's virtuoso of design used it on more than one prototype car!

      If you have pictures of a Ferrari prototype (presented a year earlier, in
      1968) - send them in. It will be fun to compare the twins.

        show: designer Filippo Sapino.)

      Bonus: New Exotic Ferrari, Only One Was Built

      A devoted Ferrari-lover has comissioned the famous coach-builder company
      to make a unique one-off Ferrari that would convey as much excitement in
      its lines as humanly possible. More info about this exotic beast
