It started out life in general terms as the Lancia Medusa in 1980, which didn't see the light of day despite causing quiet a stir at the time.
The concept was then further developed by Delorean to expand
its range, which at the time was only DMC 12. It was developed as a full sized
model around 1981, however due to lack of funding it never went any further.
In 1982 the Delorean concept was re-worked and re-badged as
the Lamborghini Marco Polo. In some of the pictures with the wheel covers
removed the original Delorean alloys can be seen.
After 3 variants it still didn’t go into production for any
of the suiters, however the overall style did end up on the Citroen CX.
How could the style of this 1980 concept possibly end up on the Citröen CX, in production from 1974 onwards? Especially when Opron's CX was a near line for line remake of Fioravanti's 1967 BMC 1800 design for Pininfarina?
