Set to be offered at Bonhams Cars’ The Zoute Sale on October 12, this 2018 Italdesign Zerouno is expected to bring up to $1,400,000. With only five coupés built, the Zerouno is Italdesign Automobili Speciali’s first limited-production supercar and one of the rarest modern exotics.
Unveiled at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, the Zerouno was the first supercar launched under Italdesign Automobili Speciali, marking a bold shift for a firm best known for shaping mainstream icons such as the Volkswagen Golf, Lancia Delta, and Citroën BX. Designed under the direction of Filippo Perini, the Zerouno features a carbon-fiber body over a modular carbon and aluminum chassis, providing both strength and lightness.
Power comes from a naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10, shared with the Lamborghini Huracán and Audi R8 Plus, delivering 602hp and 413lb/ft of torque. Mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and Audi’s quattro all-wheel-drive system, it achieves 0–60mph in 3.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of 205mph. Aerodynamics dominate its design, with features including a double-decker rear venturi, titanium diffuser, Y-duct front air channel, and brake-exhausting wing-top vents, ensuring stability and comfort even at high speeds.
This example has covered only 1,000 kilometres from new and remains effectively in as-new condition. Registered in Belgium, it embodies the vision of Giorgetto Giugiaro’s legendary firm as it transitioned from world-renowned design house to independent supercar manufacturer.
