Understanding the importance of aerodynamics, he collaborated with the Pininfarina. Abarth created a record-breaking single-seater using the Giulietta's 4-cylinder DOHC engine. In order to qualify for class G, he reduced the engine displacement from 1298 to 1088cc. On May 18, 1957 the Alfa Romeo-powered record car broke 6 records before a blow-out brought the session to a premature end.

De Tomaso P70 Spyder Prototype, 1965, by Fantuzzi. Powered by a Carroll Shelby supplied 475hp version of Ford's 289ci (4.7 litre) V8, Alejandro de Tomaso had originally planned the car as a mid-engined open-top grand tourer. Instead Shelby wanted to use the car in the United States Road Racing Championship and asked Pete Brock to work on the design with Fantizzi. However Shelby withdrew from the project to work on Ford's GT40 project. A second single seat prototype was built (the Sport 5000) specifically for racing. The second car made its debut in July 1966 in the Mugello Grand Prix round of the World Sportscar Championship; however, it retired on the opening lap and never raced again.

The "compact nuclear propulsion devices" would come in economy form offering perhaps 60hp, up to a high-speed transcontinental unit with in excess of 400hp. It also proposed features that did make it into real cars like computerised navigation and fingertip controls
