Mirko's points and mumblings

Lancia had been working undercover in a project called 037. It was a rally car based on the Lancia Montecarlo sports coupe, which had been beautifully styled by the legendary Pininfarina design studio, which was behind the design of every Ferrari built since the 1950s.
