American Motors AMX/3, 1970, by Italdesign. The AMX/2 was well received despite lacking an engine so AMC followed it with a fully operational mid-engined prototype powered by American Motor's 6.4 litre V8. Giotto Bizzarrini was involved in the car's development, the suspension and mid-engine chassis. What was not acknowledged at the time was that the styling was by Italdesign. The plan had been for the car to be made by German coachbuilder's Karmann and exported to the US to compete with the De Tomaso Pantera. However soon after the AMX/3 was presented the program was cancelled.

BMW M1 

The M1’s history is complicated, and its impact on the Bavarian marque’s reputation was far greater than the modest production run of just 453 examples would suggest. Certainly, the M1 was a Supercar in the context of late-1970s racing technology, and that it looks like one is due to its body having been styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro, founder of Italdesign.

The M1 was developed under the aegis of BMW Motorsport head Jochen Neerpasch to compete in Group 5 racing, primarily against Porsche’s nearly invincible 911. Homologation requirements called for 400 road-going examples, and without the capacity to build the car in house, BMW partnered with Lamborghini to develop the chassis, assemble prototypes, and manufacture the production run.

Yet Lamborghini’s financial woes of the era eventually caused BMW to bring the project back in house, though Dallara designed the mid-engined, tube-frame chassis. The project soldiered on, during the course of which subsequent changes in Group 5 rules relegated the M1 to Group 4 competition. If the wedge-shaped profile of the BMW M1 recalls the 1970s-era Giugiaro aesthetic, perhaps best expressed by the Lotus Esprit, it’s because wedges, like leisure suits, were all the rage at the time. But unlike leisure suits, wedges still look cool today. One concession to tradition in the design of the M1 was the retention of BMW’s classic twin-kidney grilles in the front fascia. (Note to BMW’s designers today: bigger isn’t always better.)

Behind the driver and passenger was BMW’s 3.5-liter, twin-cam inline-six engine with mechanical fuel injection and a five-speed transmission. Making 273 hp in street tune, the mill gave the car the ability to reach about 165 mph. Inside the cockpit, occupants would not be found guilty if either felt a little short-changed of luxury, though the fabric seat inserts seem au courant today.

Maserati Boomerang Styling Prototype, 1971, by Italdesign. Presented at the Turin Motor Show in October 1971, this was Giorgetto Giugiaro's non-functional epowood model for the car that was presented 6 months later as a fully functional concept (in silver) at Geneva.
