Italdesign Asso di Picche In Movimento

The Italdesign Asso di Picche In Movimento, Italian for Ace of Spades in Motion, is an electric 2+2 coupe study that Italdesign created to honour the 50-year legacy of the original Asso di Picche, the 1973 coupe built on Audi 80 mechanics at the request of the Karmann coachbuilder. Italdesign announced it in a press release dated 6 October 2023, and its own project page dates it to 2024. It rides on a next-generation platform and has an aluminium body, polycarbonate windows and a seamless aerodynamic profile, with camera-based mirrors, a polarised roof and a dual-hinged door mechanism, while nodding to the original in a transformed air intake and its iconic dashboard elements. Carstyling.ru, summarising the Russian press, adds modern lighting, rear lamps that refer to the studio's logo, original wheels, a flat steering wheel, a transparent instrument panel and four seats whose rear row can be hidden, and notes that the car then existed only in digital form although Italdesign intended to build a physical version.
