Fornasari was an Italian car manufacturer that was created in 1999 by Giuseppe Fornasari (it). The company made sports cars and SUVs, entering the market when Italian cars were dominating the sports car scene. Their first vehicle was an odd three-door SUV fitted with a Chevy-sourced engine. A couple of years later, the company started venturing into more conventional sports cars. It was declared bankrupt by the Tribunal of Vicenza on 9 September 2015,[1] but rose again with their new model, Gigi 311 GT at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show.[2]
