Italdesign Zerouno Drops its Top for New Roadster Variant

Italdesign Giugiaro is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a new supercar at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show.

At the same show last year, the Italian design house unveiled the first car to be sold under its name, the Zerouno. The company is following it with a convertible variant at this year’s show, before heading to limited production. Powered by the same 5.2-liter V10 engine found in the Audi R8 V10 Plus, the Zerouno Coupe and Zerouno Roadster ride on the same chassis as the Lamborghini Huracan and Audi R8, which makes sense since Italdesign is owned by Audi.

The original Zerouno Coupe was limited to just five units, and Italdesign hasn’t announced how many units it will produce for the convertible version. Official pricing has also not been revealed, but reports say the base price is likely to be around $1.8 million, and when nicely equipped, pass the two-million mark.

Interestingly, the original founders of Italdesign are no longer with the company. Giorgetto Giugiaro and Aldo Mantovani founded Italdesign on February 13, 1968 in Turin, Italy. But both left the company in 2015 to establish GFG Style, which also has a project at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.
