Puma was a car company founded by Roman businessman Adriano Gatto active from seventies to nineties that specialized in kit cars.
Besides the owner, another eminent figure of the company was Domenico Lombardi, a young technician who followed the development of all models produced by the company. Its headquarters were in Via Tiburtina and products ranged from dune buggies to off-road and later sports cars and aesthetic and mechanical tuning of Volkswagen Beetles.
A very aggressive coupe, Gtv was the Italian version of Nova Eagle build under license from English company Nova. Car design was from Richard Oakes and it featured a very particular cockpit opening: windshield and roof were hinged near the hood and tilted forward to give easier access. This car also used Volkswagen chassis and Volkswagen engine, built up to 1385 cc by Lombardi in order to achieve higher performance, appropriate for such a sporty body.
