They revised the entire car in 1965 and called it the Corsia, with the TURBO model up to 180 hp (from 150 hp on the '62-'64 Spyder). The rear suspension was copied from the Corvette and improved the handling greatly.
The new car was fantastic and WAY improved over the older car, but as stated Nader's book killed it before it had a chance to redeem itself.
