The prototype was made in 1945 and presented at the auto show at the Grand Palais in Paris in October 1946. The car was revolutionary and ran counter to the principles of car construction that prevailed at the time. It had a tubular chassis, an aerodynamic body, 3 front seats, central steering, a rear engine, a semi-automatic gearbox, and a panoramic windscreen. In parallel, Jean-Pierre Wimille pursued his driving career, taking Alfa Romeos to a string of victories. But he never stopped thinking about his «car of tomorrow».
