Italdesign is the Italian design and engineering house based in Moncalieri near Turin, and the name it uses as a marque for its own low-volume cars. It traces back to Studi Italiani Realizzazione Prototipi, founded on 13 February 1968 by Giorgetto Giugiaro and Aldo Mantovani, and became widely known for styling production cars for other manufacturers, among them early Volkswagen models such as the first Golf, the Scirocco and the Passat, as well as the Audi 80. Beyond styling it offers engineering, packaging, modelling, prototyping and testing services. Lamborghini, part of the Volkswagen Group through Audi, bought 90.1 percent of the company in 2010 and the rest in 2015, and in 2025 sold its stake to the American technology company UST. In 2017 the firm created a subsidiary brand, Italdesign Automobili Speciali, for ultra low series cars aimed at collectors, whose first model was the Zerouno.
