Cizeta V16T — единственный суперкар в мире с мотором V16

The Cizeta V16T is the craziest supercar of the 1990s, yet almost no one remembers it today. The only production car in history with a transversely mounted sixteen-cylinder engine—essentially two V8 engines fused into a single heart: 540 horsepower, sixty-four valves, and a width of over two meters. Three people were behind this miracle: former Lamborghini engineer Claudio Zampolli, the king of disco Giorgio Moroder, and legendary designer Marcello Gandini, who gave the car the face of the rejected Lamborghini Diablo. Italian passion, American money, and an engine that engineers called impossible. This issue tells the whole story from start to finish: how a mechanic from Los Angeles decided to build a Ferrari killer, why Gandini gave the Cizeta his most daring sketch, how the partnership between the two creators fell apart, and who stole the white prototype. And then there's the failure of American certification, the collapse of the Asian market, bankruptcy in Modena, and the bitter justice that came too late.
