1984 ItalDesign Marlin

Inspired, as the name suggest, by tapering shapes of oceanic swordfish, it's a three box sedan, five doors and great habitability. From the same chassis is also realized the Together, the space-wagon version.

At the 1984 Turin Motor show Italdesign propose two different architectural solutions for berline and space-wagon, using the same chassis, Orca's one.

Marlin complete length is the same of the Lancia Thema and Saab (4600 mm) but the bodywork is really more tapered to reach a 0,21 cx, thanks to the large front, deceiving windscreen and rear window, total doors, continuous section between glasses and side of the car.

The roof is glassed, and with lateral windows, makes a transparent dome that allows a 360° visibility from the inside.

The steering wheel is similar to Medusa and Orca's one, with central controls, while the equipment is both analogical and digital.
