Italdesign Zerouno Duerta Supercar

A year ago, Italdesign launched its first supercar, the Zerouno–an ultra-exclusive supercar with looks (but even higher performance) of a Lamborghini Huracan. Now, the young company took the wraps off the Zerouno Duerta–a new version with equally impressive appearance and a removable Targa-style roof.

The road-legal, perfectly aerodynamic carbon fiber machine has the chassis of a Huracan and is powered by a Lamborghini 5.2-liter V10 that sends 610-hp to all four wheels through a 7-speed dual clutch auto, allowing for a top speed of 198 mph.

Just like the hardtop model, the Duerta comes in a limited run of only 5 examples, for an unspecified figure, but it’s safe to assume you’ll need to fork $1.7 million+ (price for the standard Zerouno) to get your hands on this sleek supercar.

Italdesign Zerouno Roadster headed for Geneva Motor Show

It’s not often that Italian design houses sell cars under their own name. Sure, the name Zagato has been tacked onto Aston Martin, Alfa Romeo and Lancia coupes, but it’s rarer for the design house to act as the manufacturer. The last Fiat X1/9s were sold as Bertones, and late, 1980s 124 Spiders were sold as the Pininfarina Spidereuropa, but Italdesign hasn’t sold any cars of their own – until the Zerouno, that is. The company wants to introduce an own-brand model every year on from 2017; the coupe version of the Huracan-related Zerouno was the first.

Italdesign has now confirmed that there will be a convertible version of the Zerouno, and that it will be seen at the Geneva Motor Show. The coupe was only made as a five-unit production run, and it’s likely that there won’t be too many topless versions built. Italdesign is 50 years old this year, and it’s up to the Zerouno roadster to be displayed as a celebratory model. Pricing hasn’t been confirmed either, but reports say the base price is likely to top $1.8 million, and it’ll easily go past two million dollars nicely equipped.

For that money you get exclusivity as well as a 5.2-liter V10 engine good for 205 miles per hour and a 3-second 0-60 blast. Zerounos are all-wheel-drive, with Audi/Lamborghini DNA baked in thanks to the company’s ties to Audi-owned Lamborghini.
