De Tomaso Mangusta Prototipo, 1966, by Ghia. The P70 may have been disastrous in terms of racing success but it did establish the principle of using a powerful American V8 in Italian bodywork. Thus Ghia, who had also worked on the P70, built the car Alejandro de Tomaso had wanted all along. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro it was first displayed on the Ghia stand (for whom Giugiaro was working at the time) at the Turin Motor Show. At last De Tomaso had a car he could sell and though it was criticised for tricky handling 401 were built before it was replaced by the Pantera in 1971

Chrysler Special Coupé by Ghia (1 of 19). 
One of the first Chrysler show cars designed by Virgil Exner and built by Italian coachbuilder Ghia, the appropriately named Chrysler Special was first exhibited at the Paris Salon in October 1952. Built on a New Yorker chassis shortened by six inches, it featured unusually high radiused wheel arches that extended almost to the top of the fenders, smooth sides that flowed from bumper to bumper with only a small “kick” in the rear fender curve, rounded headlights, and a broad chromed trapezoidal grille.Its subtle yet muscular lines made the Special the hit of the show, and M. Ladouch, proprietor of the French Chrysler importers France Motors, realized that there was a willing market for a small number of copies, for which he secured the support of Chrysler export manager C.B. Thomas.Ghia’s “production” Chrysler Special was based upon the original show car but built upon a standard-wheelbase, 125.5-inch New Yorker platform and with a modified semi-fastback roofline to accommodate four full-sized adults. The first of these limited-production, hand-built cars was made for C.B. Thomas himself, and was followed by another 18 cars, six for customers of France Motors and another dozen for clients of Ghia. All were originally delivered in Europe. American customers, in many cases—with the exception of the fortunate Mr. Thomas—remained unaware that this truly “special” Chrysler even existed until a few of the cars made their way stateside later in life. Nonetheless, this “dream car for the public” can be seen as the forerunner of similar efforts to follow later in the 1950s, most prominently the Dual Ghia.

Ford RS200 Prototype, 1984. Left without a credible entrant for Group B Ford used the lessons learned on the aborted Escort RS1700T program to develop a new, purposed built, rally car. The RS200 was designed by Ghia, with a mid-mounted engine and four-wheel drive. It was powered by a 1.8 litre turbocharged Ford-Cosworth "BDT" engine producing 250hp in road-going trim, with up to 450hp available for rallying.
