Cizeta Moroder - What the Diablo shoulda been??

[This great video produced and contributed by Brian Wiklem. A finished, full resolution version will be included on an upcoming book on all the Cizeta cars.]

Gandini, the designer that produced the Countach & Miura for Lamborghini, also produced a design for the sucessor to the Countach (which was destined to become the Diablo).

The story goes that the original design was altered heavily by Lamborghini (then owned by Chrysler), annoying Gandini. The design was than resold. to Cizeta, who stayed with the original design theme.

Reportedly only 10 were ever ordered, 2 of them from the Sultan of Brunei.

Exhaust.TV actually flew out to LA earlier this year with the hopes of filming, and driving this magnificant beast. But, see, contrary to the very flattering rumors, we don't always get everything we want around here. This video is a nice consolation though.

Thanks again to Brian Wiklem. Brian- Put me down for a couple autographed copies, and I hope your bonus footage includes some raunchy exhaust notes!!!

[and let me know if the video doesn't look right. We struggled with it a bit, and thinking about pixel width gives me a headache]
