01 / THE STORY

History & context

The Italdesign Automobili Speciali Zerouno Duerta, a bespoke creation derived from the Audi R8 designed by Filippo Perini, epitomizes a fusion of lightweight construction and aerodynamic prowess. Following the footsteps of its coupe counterpart, the Zerouno Duerta embodies a commitment to carbon fiber utilization, both for its exterior and interior, to uphold its ethos of efficiency and performance. Crafted with precision, the entire bodywork of the Zerouno Duerta is meticulously fashioned from carbon fiber, a material renowned for its strength and feather-like weight. Integrating advanced fiber-layering techniques with artisanal finesse during the final touches ensures a remarkable reduction in weight despite its substantial dimensions, measuring 4,847 mm in length, 1,970 mm in width, and 1,204 mm in height. Underneath its sleek silhouette lies a potent heart—a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine that propels the Duerta to exhilarating speeds exceeding 320 km/h. Even with modifications to accommodate a removable carbon fiber roof, the car’s performance remains uncompromised, a testament to Italdesign’s engineering prowess. The design philosophy of the Duerta remains faithful to its coupe lineage, characterized by aggressive aerodynamic cues optimized for maximum efficiency. The iconic Y Duct system integrated into the bonnet ensures optimal downforce and airflow, further enhancing its dynamic prowess. While maintaining the essence of the Zerouno coupe, Italdesign has reimagined the upper and rear sections of the Zerouno Duerta to facilitate the seamless removal of its roof without sacrificing performance or comfort. Whether cruising under the sun or braving inclement weather, the Duerta offers versatility with its manually removable roof and an emergency soft top for unexpected showers. In essence, the Italdesign Automobili Speciali Zerouno Duerta is more than just an automotive masterpiece; it represents the pinnacle of engineering ingenuity and aesthetic brilliance, a harmonious blend of form and function crafted to enthrall enthusiasts and collectors alike.
