To celebrate the 40th Anniversary, Ital Design showed at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show their very first show car, the 1968 Bizzarrini Manta.

The chassis of this car started as a Bizzarrini P538 (P stands for "posteriore", that means rear-engine, 538 for 5.3-litre-V8). It was the third chassis (out of 4 cars in total!), and was listed for the 1966 race at Le Mans.

In early 1968, Giugiaro contacted Bizzarrini, because he wanted to start his design-company with a breathtaking showcar. Bizzarrini gave him the re-bodied Le Mans racer, and Giugiaro did a fantastic job. The Manta is a three-seater, with the driver seated in the middle. Source
