Yes!

Alfa-powered?

Not immediately. It later received an Alfa Romeo engine, but initially it was a Lancia unit.

Was it originally developed for Group 6?

Paul Jaray · March 08, 2021, 05:11:28 AM

Sport prototipi.

Built before 1975?

Paul Jaray · March 12, 2021, 02:04:35 PM

First version was built around 1972, then modified in 1974 and again in 1976. The car here is pictured in 1977.

Did any of these versions compete in the Targa Florio?

In 1975 and 1976

Cobra by Romeo Battistiol?

Beat me to it again!

By the way, it also ran in the Targa Florio in 1974 (#38, driven by Battistiol/"Rousseau") and in 1977 (#38, entered by M. Follari with drivers Follari/Pitarresi, DNF):

Very good!
1 point for fromwien and two pages (from the magazine EpocAuto N.6-2014) for gte4289 and you all!

fromwien · March 16, 2021, 06:21:47 AM

Thank you very much for the point. I never would have been able to solve this puzzle, without the two hints: Lancia engine and Targa Florio...
At all of the pictures about this car, which I knew before, it wears blue coloured bodywork... and the other body shape....
