Solved - MPC#018 - Ferrrari Superfast vs Alfa Superflow, BAT, Sestriere and Fiat 2300 Speciale

[Iluvatar]

The five cars have in common that there were more than one design version built of each on the same "theme" name.
All were numbered versions except car #3 the 1957 Alfa Romeo Boano Coupe Pininfarina,

You are on the right track, this is what they have in common... but the second part is wrong...
Locked for you to find the wrong car and why!

Is it the second car (bat)-because it,s the only car with hide-away headlamps?,,where the other,s appear stationary?

No... and the puzzle is locked for WayneB!

It is difficult (for me) to find out without doubt what the third car is.
It may be a 1956 Alfa Romeo 2000 Pininfarina?

You said they are all part of a "theme"... if you think about that, and about the other cars of every "theme" maybe you can find the solution...
Locked until your next reply...

Thanks for giving me further time to try and solve this puzzle, the more I think about it the more confused I get over the possible answer(s)!

I will start by listing the mystery cars properly in the order they are shown:-

#1 1956 Alfa Romeo 6C Superflow I by Pininfarina (the first of a design study series of 4 cars)
#2 1953 Alfa Romeo BAT 5 by Bertone (the first of  a design series study of 3 cars)
#3 1957 Alfa Romeo Sesiere by Pininfarina (the first of a design study of 2 cars)
#4 1962 Ferrari 400 SuperAmerica Superfast IV (the forth of a design series of a total of 25 cars built)
#5 1962 Fiat 2300 Coupe Speciale by Pininfarina (the first of a design study series of 5 cars built)

My conclusion is that the "odd one out " is #4 the Ferrari as the others are all the first built in their respective design series.
