Italdesign Aztec 1988

[StigBelcherStyl]

The Aztec is a concept car introduced by ItalDesign in 1988. The two-seater is unique because the driver and passenger are separated, requiring the two parties to communicate electronically. It was fitted with a five cylinder DOHC 197 BHP Audi Turbo engine, and using Lancia Delta Integrale derived four-wheel-drive system. Only 15 to 50 of these cars were ever built.

It looks like the designers were influenced by the 1967 OSI Silver Fox - a similar concept, although more extreme in the earlier car.

I never saw this car before. It looks like a strange combination of 2J and Bugatti EB110.

How unusual, I like it! This certainly looks a lot better than an Aztek.
