OSI was a highly respected but low volume coach builders in Italy during the 1960's. The Silver Fox was built in 1967 to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It debuted that year at the Turin Motor Show. It was powered by a 1 liter four cylinder Renault Alpine engine housed in the left pod to counter balance the weight of the driver in the right pod. It reached a top speed of 155mph. The fastest car in the world in 1967 was the Lamborgini Muira. It was powered by a 3.9 liter V12 and topped out at 173mph.
The Silver Fox didn't make it to the race track after completing a number of test runs. OSI went out of business early in 1968. There was only one car produced.
