Obviously rather similar design cues. I wonder if he did it out of spite with Mr Heiderich.

That site about Pietro Frua is awesome. I wasn’t even aware of the existence of the 914/6 Frua.

A Merak on a Citroen DS chassis and SM engine. I just love that awesome combination.

Yep it did. It had the engine and mechanical components of the SM and sat on a DS chassis and had the hydropneumatic suspension of the latter.

The Vizcaya’s is a long and convoluted story.
Mr Heiderich was a very
peculiar
man too, so I would take his “verbal statement” that “Ferry P. had agreed to supply parts for a limited production run in Spain” with a pinch of salt. Or two.
That website is indeed excellent.

As the
www.pietro-frua.de
website says,
“although there is no evidence to confirm this, the car – in the same way as his proposal for the Maserati Bora – could be a FWD proposal by Frua for the Maserati Merak, which ultimately was introduced by Giugiaro in Oct. 1972 during the Salon de l’Automobile de Paris as a design derived from the Maserati Bora”.
Maserati had asked both Frua and ItalDesign for designs for the Bora.
