Don't get excited, it doesn't exist (as far as I know).
But I wonder what it would have looked like? The chassis differences might have forced some body changes, as it did with the Type 1 and 3 designs. Have any of our local automotive artists thought what Ghia styling might have looked like, say around 1970, a few years after the Type 3 Ghia design?
No doubt economics made such a vehicle a non-starter, but from a design standpoint, it might have been interesting.
Anyone got the urge to draw something up?
Type 1, 1950s:
Type 3, 1960s:
Type 4, 1970s:

Type3 1970!
Karmann Cheeta (ItalDesign) based on the type3, never made it to production.
(same Pedrini rims as the 914 above).
