Cizeta-Moroder V16T
In 1988, the Cizeta-Moroder V16T had the potential to become the next big thing in supercars. A group of ex-Lamborghini engineers led by Claudio Zampoli partnered with famous music composer and supercar fan Giorgio Moroder. The car had a celebrity endorsement, an exotic name, and technology. The main feature of this obscure beast was its monstrous V16 engine. All supercars have engines installed longitudinally. However, Cizeta-Moroder chose a different route, resulting in a wide rear track and complicated assembly of its five-speed manual gearbox (via Supercars).
The V16 engine had six liters of displacement and delivered 560 hp, which was a fantastic number for the late ’80s. The performance was equally impressive, with a 0 to 60 mph time of just four seconds and a top speed of over 200 mph. Even today, those numbers will draw attention from the supercar crowd. The base list price was close to $300,000 and production stopped after only 20 examples, which is why they’re scarce today.
