Broken Dreams: Cizeta-Moroder V16 T. 16-cylinder melody
A music legend and an engineer built a wild Italian supercar with a V16 heart—only nine were made, and one sold for over $1.3M.
Two Italians meet to make a dream come true: one was a man who preferred his cars hardcore like Lamborghinis. He was in Los Angeles where he had moved to build something of his own. His name was Claudio Zampolli, an engineer who opened a workshop repairing and transforming sports cars. The other was Giorgio Moroder, a man of music who left Italy to become a citizen of the world. And he did precisely that by winning no fewer then three Oscars for the musical soundtracks he wrote, such Top Gun and Flashdance.
From words to actions with the technician who emulated the Miura by installing transversely, not a 12-cylinder but a 16-cylinder engine and the composer who agreed to finance the Cizeta Moroder car that was destined for production. In this “Italian concert”, it’s hard to imagine the designer not coming from the Bel Paese, and who better than Gandini, the man who penned Lamborghini’s greatest successes to work his magic?
