The puzzle of this week might look a bit of a car that has been subject of a puzzle before. But we can tell you it is not that easy. When we first saw the photo and the make itself, we were a bit surprised. But well, that might not go for you. You have probably recognized the car in one shot, you know the make, the type and know who designed it. You can tell us the unique features of the car, the number of cars sold and the weak points.
Please give us everything you know, including all interesting anecdotes and information. Good luck!

This is the Ghia Corrida, designed by Filippo Sapino. It was the first concept car based on the Ford Fiesta, introduced at the Turin Motor Show in November of 1976. It featured pneumatically operated gull wing doors hinged in two segments and electrically operated flaps for the headlamps to provide optimal aerodynamics performance. The rear luggage compartment was hinged at the bottom, the lower part of the car's rear end could be locked in an open position to extend the carrying capacity. The orange and black 2+2 seater had an aluminium body.

This is the Ford Ghia Corrida from 1976. It was the first concept car based on the new Ford Fiesta. Revealed at the 1976 Turin Motor Show. The bright orange one off aluminium bodied Ghia designed Corrida (Bullfight in Spanish), was built on the Fiesta's 90 inch wheelbase floorplan. Featuring a two piece tailgate, the lower bumper section folded downwards increasing luggage space. The split gullwing doors hinged at the top and the middle, (this resulted in fixed windows, it was a concept so wasn't a concern). The hidden headlamps were revealed by fold down covers hinged at the front.
