No, it's not Italian hence nothing to do with Lancia.

It's a mock-up for a reasonably well-known manufacturer; I don't think a working prototype was ever built.
So I need the manufacturer, who did it and who he/she was working for.

Yes, that's right.
But the car had a name, or at least one it was referred to by, which I need for the point.
Also, for whom was Peter Stevens working when he designed it?
Still locked for you.

The warlord seems to have given up on this one so it's opened up again.
If it's not fully solved by an Expert it will move up to the Pro's in a day or two.

Well, the article that is the source of this image says that Stevens was working for Trevor Fiore, but it doesn't mention a name for the car. It mentions "A480", but that refers to another proposal, by Marc Deschamps, that also appears on the same article.

I'll check my source to see if the name I have is in fact correct.
In the meantime I'll lock it for you until I get the chance to look.
