Italdesign Zerouno Duerta

The Italdesign Zerouno Duerta is the open-top version of the Zerouno supercar, shown by Italdesign in March 2018 as the second model of its Automobili Speciali division, whose aim is exclusive, high-performance cars that collectors will treasure. Duerta means open in Piedmontese dialect. As in the coupe, lightness and aerodynamics drive the design: the whole body and much of the interior are carbon fibre, and the car measures 4,847 mm long, 1,970 mm wide and 1,204 mm high. The carbon fibre roof can be removed by hand and an emergency soft top is supplied for bad weather, while the bonnet keeps the Y Duct that improves downforce and airflow and the upper and rear body were redesigned so that the car performs well when driven topless. The power unit is a naturally aspirated 5.2 litre V10 and Italdesign gives a top speed above 320 km/h. Carstyling.ru, summarising Russian press, says the car is on the Audi R8 platform, makes 610 horsepower and 560 Nm through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox with all-wheel drive, and that five examples were planned by the end of 2018.
