Over 740 orders were taken in the first 15 minutes. 12,000 on the first day.[7]  80,000 deposits during the show; a record that stood for over 60 years.

Italian sculptor and industrial designer Flaminio Bertoni and the French aeronautical engineer André Lefèbvre (Le-feb re) styled and engineered the car,
