Italy
Cylinder number / capacity - 6 in line/3485 cc
Power - 220 bhp at 5500 rpm
Max speed - 230 kph
Period of production - 1959-1964
Type body - Spider
Marque bodywork - Vignale
Introduced in 1957, the 3500 GT coupè of the Touring body-maker was a great commercial success for the trident firm and so it seemed obvious to accompany the coupe with a spider version.
Designed by Giovanni Michelotti (one of the busiest post-war Italian designers) and produced by the Vignale body-maker, the spider, with a coupe loom 100mm shorter, was introduced at the 1959 Turin Exhibition already with rotating front breaks that were to become standard starting from 1960.
