1988 Cizeta-Moroder V16T

In the 1980s, Lamborghini test driver and engineer Claudio Zampolli, who had relocated to Los Angeles, partnered with music producer Giorgio Moroder to create an innovative supercar. With the aim of garnering significant media attention, Zampolli opted for a groundbreaking V-16 engine. Inspired by the engine layout of the Lamborghini Miura,

Zampolli's creation featured a transversely mounted 6.0-litre V-16 with a five-speed manual gearbox. The striking bodywork was crafted by the legendary Marcelo Gandini, renowned for designing the Miura, Lamborghini Countach, Lancia Stratos, and numerous other iconic cars.

Moroder, known as "The Father of Disco," initially invested in the project, but their partnership dissolved after the prototype due to delays. Named the Cizeta-Moroder V16T, only ten units were produced, with the prototype designated as chassis 001.

Unveiled in 1988, this model stood out with unique design elements and was showcased at prestigious events. Moroder retained ownership, and following Jay Leno's recommendation, chassis 001 underwent a comprehensive restoration by Bruce Canepa's team. This car remains a rare and captivating supercar, distinguished by its performance, design, history, and exclusivity.
