In the world of automotive design houses, Audi-owned Italdesign Giugiaro is one the big three in the biz, together with Pininfarina and the peeps from Zagato. That's one of several reasons why it's such of an occasion when a rare as hen's teeth Italdesign concept shows up for grabs on the Internet.
One of only 25 examples believed to have been built, the Italdesign Aztec #0001 is up on eBay, priced at just $750,000. Even if the price tag isn't that hefty considering its historical significance, scarcity and quirky styling from Giorgetto Giurgiarro, there are only 13 hours left until the auction ends and the current highest bid sits at just $500,000.
Italdesign Aztec #0001 is located in Japan at the present moment and shows only 800 miles on the odometer as the seller tells it has been used only on driving parades, for show and such. Moreover, the first owner has reportedly paid $2,200,000 for the car. In addition to that, the ad's description says the concept vehicle has been carefully stored in an air conditioned warehouse throughout its entire existence.
That fabulous body shell is propelled by an Audi 2.2-liter five-cylinder turbocharged mill with 250 ponies on tap, powering all four wheels. The only non-original part on the car is a racing cell that has been added for safety reasons. Nevertheless, the futuristic split cabin design is still there, unmolested, together with the bulletproof Lancia Delta Integrale-sourced all-wheel drive system. To boot, Giorgetto Giugiaro has signed the right quarter panel of the car, so this is one very rare cookie in our book.
