Italdesign has released pictures of its
upcoming Zerouno Targa. Set to debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month, the
model is essentially an open air version of the Zerouno coupe which was
unveiled at last year’s show. Of course, the biggest difference is the targa
eschews a fix and adopts a unique rear end which features two buttresses and a
prominent compartment for the car’s naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine.
Speaking of the engine, it is expected to produce
610 PS and 560 Nm of torque. It will likely be connected
to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and an all-wheel drive system.
There’s no word on how fast the model will be but the coupe could accelerate
from 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds before hitting a top speed of 330
km/h.
Part of the car’s impressive performance is due to
its lightweight carbon fiber and aluminum chassis which is covered by carbon
fiber bodywork. The model should also come equipped with 20-inch aluminum
wheels and a carbon-ceramic braking system.
Italdesign hasn’t said much about the car but
reports have suggested the model will cost € 1.9 (US$ 2.3) million which would make
it around € 407,050 (US$ 500,000) more expensive than the coupe. Regardless of the
final price tag, the Zerouno Targa will be an exclusive beast as the company
could limit production to five units like the coupe.
