FactFranco Scaglione styled the Sport Prinz at Bertone, and the same platform later gave NSU its Wankel-powered Spider.
The Sport Prinz was a 2-seater sports coupé variant of the Prinz, designed by Franco Scaglione at Bertone in Turin; 20,831 were manufactured between 1958 and 1968, the first 250 bodies built by Bertone and the rest at Karrosseriewerke Drauz in Heilbronn, later bought by NSU. It was initially powered by the 583 cc Prinz 50 straight-twin engine, though a maximum speed of 160 km/h (99 mph) was nevertheless claimed; from late 1962 a 598 cc engine was fitted. The NSU Spider was a Wankel-powered two-seater roadster based on the Sport Prinz platform, and Audi's TT is listed as its successor.

The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
