Why it matters
Paolo Martin's angular Pininfarina coupe was Fiat's flagship from 1971 and won a design award at launch. All coupes were built by Pininfarina, with a bespoke interior, and the car started a series of boxy Pininfarina coupes that included the Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 and Lancia Gamma.

06Reference
Identification guide
How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.
The coupe has its own 3.2-litre V6 and its own interior (seats, dashboard, door trims and centre console), a hand throttle, a drop-down handbrake lever and a concealed glovebox under the dash top. Transmissions were a 5-speed ZF manual or a 3-speed Borg-Warner automatic, and most cars had the automatic.
