The great one died recently Marcello gandini. They are among his most famous models Lamborghini Miura, Lamborghini Countach in Lancia Stratos. He created them while he was the chief designer at the company Bertone. He has been a freelance car designer since 1980.
As part of the event "Car Design Event", which took place in Munich, we were able to admire the hitherto little-known design of the great Italian master. He is studying Gandini designed in 1985 as a kind of preliminary study for the model's successor Countach. The real interior is missing, as is the engine. However, it is Signore Gandini thought so Lamborghini he is waiting too long for the plan to be realized, so he offered it Cizet.

cizeta – sound familiar? He founded the now relatively unknown manufacturer at the end of the 1980s former Lamborghini test driver and engineer Claudio Zampolli, which was later joined by the famous composer as a financial supporter Giorgio Moroder. The goal at the time was to develop an unprecedented super sports car. It was created V16T sixteen-cylinder engine, which was produced only 10 pieces and had some very interesting features for the time. What does the look remind you of? If you thought about the model Diablo, you are right. Gandini he himself had a model V16T for a sort of prototype for the successor to the Countach model. It is still rumored that she was Gandini's final design model cizeta actually meant for the model Diablo and that Lamborghini's owners at the time, Chrysler, found it too brutal.
Po three years of development was a ready-to-drive prototype unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1988. Even before it Cizeta-Moroder started mass production, he did Giorgio Moroder left the company and Claudio Zampolli became the sole leader. The only model that was still produced under the name Cizeta-Moroder V16T, was the prototype and remained in Moroder's possession when he left the company in 1990. This one pre-production model in various tests and driving reports, it impressed mainly with its power 399 kW (542 HP).
