It was built to compete in the 1968 Le Mans 24 hours series, but never got to. Instead, OSI went out of business at the very beginning of 1968, never to race, or for that matter even design, any cars ever again. The Silver Fox was a revolutionary design, with double fuselages, and three wings in between them, to stabilize the car and reduce drag. It was powered by a 1.0L 1000cc Alpine 4-cylinder engine that produced power. I'm not saying how much because I don't know, but the 1967 Alpine A110 using the same engine produced 66hp, so I'm guessing the Silver Fox had about that much, maybe a little more. Although the Silver Fox never succeeded in race or production, the one existing prototype was pushed to it's top speed, which was recorded as being 155mph, just a few mph below the fastest cars of that era.
