Easy puzzle?

Here is a picture from a sales brochure.  What name was the car given in that brochure?

An AMC AMX/3 replica called AMX 390.

AMX is not part of the name

But is it some kind of a replica of the AMX/3 prototypes?

I don't think the word "replica" should be applied to this car

Would it be one of the Bizzarrini-made prototypes?

Sciabola was the name?
The second set of five cars was called on that name by Bizzarrini, and only one of them was actually built before AMC pulled the plug.

And TuaTank gets the point for the correct answer.  I guess because only one was made, it was harder to find the answer.

Yes, and it was referred everywhere simply as the sixth prototype built.

Presumably there's a small typo in the title?

It should be Sciabola not Sciabolo...... ;)
