Since you painted automobile disks, my another version - a prototype Alfa Romeo T33 (automobile disks with small holes are common to all prototypes Alfa Romeo)

I found it. Alfa Romeo Scarabeo Spider by OSI'1967.
Further development of the prototype Scarabeo, introduced in 1966, Scarabeo Spider, was tested at the track in Balocco in 1967-69 years.
The car has not received a complete body, it has no fairing the engine compartment. Vehicle height is just over 1 m, length - 3.72 m, width - 1.56 m prototype weighed only 700 kg and a top speed of 200 km/h.

Now the car is in storage Museo Storico Alfa Romeo in Milan.

Yes, that's it - the one and only OSI Alfa Scarabeo Spider.
It was based on the Giulia GTA and the intention was to develop it for Alfa to compete with, but instead they chose to develop the 33 so this remained unfinished; at least it survived!
