Last try,
Maybe a Stanguellini of some sorts
All this work for a measly 1 point!!!
I would think all the previous attempts should be judged a miss and the winner gets extra points.

I must have loked at every bloom'in italian sports car and cant find a match.
The clue about the body and wheels pointed in towards special metals, but agin I have drawn a blank.
The best match I can find is a Volpini Fiat.

Oh what fun this freaky-deeky small car is causing so much problems OK - next hint. You do not know the car, at the moment, you may be not sure of the driver/designer but you all know one of his designed/inventions and most hate it! So does this help OK - you only get 1 point, but its off the gauge for smugness!  |

It's a :
Gatso Platje, 1949.
Fiat 1500 chassis (shortened), Fiat 1.5 litre six-cylinder in-line OHV engine, Dubonnet independent front suspension, finned alloy brake drums.
The car was nicknamed "Platje" = "Flatty".
Leading at the National Sportscar Races held at Zandvoort in 1950, a rear wheelrim centre gave away, putting the car and its driver/constructor out of the race. Flatty was equipped with ultra-lightweight wheels specially made in France, which aided the performance of the car whilst also providing better brake cooling. Unfortunately, the one on the left rear failed to stand up to the high cornering forces generated on the Zandvoort circuit.
