it's like a testarossa and a diablo hooked up and had a kid ;)

wonder if it's wing eligible to help on the downforce factor? Anyone with the JPN version know?
 
If you can give it a wing from the GT auto then you'll be able to adjust the front and rear downforce like every car with a GT auto wing.
 
You can't give it a wing from GT auto, and it could really use the downforce =/

I love the car though...looks nice, great powerband, fun to drive, good sound...It can be a beast if tuned up as well, you can get it to like 1380kg/850hp....Just needs more downforce & less weight. Shame they made the frame out of steel instead of aluminum...

Yeh, I agree, Deffinately looks like a 355 Testarosa.

Probably even 'Ferrari Red' lol
Got your models a bit mixed up heh?

Its has a Lamborghini look to it as well as a Testarossa look b/c the owner of Cizeta is an ex-Lamborghini worker.
 
The cizetta has got to be the ugliest car i have ever seen ..lol. its proportins are manky and all crooked looking, none of its stylistic lines that it pinched from italian stable mates work at all.. very dissapointing... The car also understeers ferociousley, its just not a fun car to drive.
 
When I first saw the 4 front head lights, it tripped me out. Thought it was a glitch or something.
 
Got a big butt because it's got a big engine. A V16 with multi valve (in other words large) heads. So the engine is loooooong. It's also installed sideways, making the car wiiiiiiiide. It was initially partially financed by Georgio Moroder, who wrote lots of theme tunes for Hollywood movies. Wasn't the styling by Gandini, the man responsible for the Lambo Miura and Countach? I believe he was also styled the Diablo, but his design was rejected for being to similar to...... the Cizeta!
I seem to recall that in the early '90s the Testarossa - like horizontal slats on the side ducts were replaced by one vertical slat. Finally, I think the car can still be bought, brand new? Isn't it being made to order in California?

They have just started re-making the Cizita in california, and as a 'roadster' too. I believe they bought up old stock of engines and chassis from the original factory. It is a Gandini design, based on early Diablo visuals.

you got any pics?.. id like to see that
 
I was racing against this car the other day around Nurburgring in... Crap, one of the European series.

The AI cannot drive this car to save it's life! I mean on speed, it should easily be beating everything but me. Nope... It routinely finished 4th or lower because the AI threw it off the track at least 3 times every lap. (At Nurburgring it was just ridiculous.)

Sure is a purty car though;)
 
its back tires are extra fat, whilst the fronts are only average, so when it attempts to turn it cant overpower its back wheels... the poor thing, i feel like patting it on th head
