That's a De Tomaso or some variation, or something along those lines can't remember exactly.

nice lil ferrari 360 next to it too... possibly the challenge stradale going off those wheels

this is worth a brief chuckle i think (probably not a lol, definitely not a lmao, but a brief quiet chuckle), i'm looking at the ferrari thinking i know that's a 360 but none of the 360 pics i'm looking at have the rear engine intake vent looking like this one... spent like 4-5 minutes looking at other ferraris before finally realizing i was just seeing the mirror of the de tomaso

The wheels on the second one look like they're from a Lancia Delta, but that's all I've got.

It's a Biagini Passo built in ( depending on source) 65-300 pcs

The Biagini Passo is based on the body of the Volkswagen Golf Mk1 Cabriolet. Biagini added a custom subframe with the Syncro all-wheel drive powertrain from the MkII Golf Country then as icing on the cake they added headlamps and front indicators from the 1980–1985 Fiat Panda, side indicators from the 1983 Fiat Ritmo, and taillamps from the 1983 Opel Kadett D sedan

Biagini was ages ahead of the VW T-roc Cabrio that came 2020
