‘The B20 represented the birth and the realisation of the “Gran Turismo” concept – that is, an elegant comfortable sports car.

Ferry’s 356 was based on the Volkswagen designed by his father, and like the immortal ‘Beetle’ employed a platform-type chassis with rear-mounted air-cooled engine and all-independent torsion bar suspension.
