Canadian Romanelli GT with a V12 engine, said to be the first composite road car produced.

I honestly thought it would have been guessed much earlier.

The guy responsible for the car is apparently an engineer that is into engines. You can find him online.

Point will be added ASAP.

The car as it looks prior it got those spoilers and vents.

A w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l car in my opinion. Obviousely it's the Romanelli family behind the car on the first picture.

I can't quite imagine why he would want to "improve" the car. Isn't it strange this car was never aired here before?

It's the Romanelli V12, built by Canadian Francesco Romanelli, complete with a V12 engine designed and made by him!
It dates from 1970.
