Designed by engineer Augusto Monaco and driver Carlo Felice Trossi, the radial 16 cylinders engine mounted at the front solved the cooling problem and, at the same time, determined the layout of the entire car. In fact, traction had to be at the front to avoid a very long shaft as well as be able to exploit the grip of the front wheels. Unfortunately, this arrangement sealed the car’s fate. Due to the excess weight on the front drive wheels, the car was unstable even on the straight as well as oversteered when cornering, where it should have gained the most advantage. The car didn’t make it past the testing stages and thus remained just a futuristic prototype.
