It reminds me of the current Lancia Musa.
Correct the Megagamma was never produced.In 1978 the european market wasn't ready for a vehicle of this type.So it was the first MPV as a concept or as an idea. Renault Espace was the first MPV to reach the production 6 years later than the Megagamma concept (1984).

It may reminds you the Musa but in reality was a bigger car.It was built on the floorpan of the Lancia Gamma berlina (a D segment car with a 2,67m wheelbase).As for the engine this was derived again from the Gamma.A 2,5 lit. flat four ,capable of 140 hp.
