It first appeared at the Turin Motor Show in 1971 as a non working concept car before being finished and becoming a registered road car. It was shown at many car shows until 1974 when after the Barcelona Motor Show it was sold to an unidentified individual.

The Boomerang  was powered by a 4.7L V8 engine producing 310 hp driving the rear wheels through it’s 5 speed manual gearbox.
