Source-derived summary

The Italdesign Zerouno is a sports car produced by Italian automotive styling house Italdesign Giugiaro and introduced in 2017. The name means "Zero One", as it was the first production vehicle from Italdesign's low production sports car division, Italdesign Automobili Speciali.

Production

The Zerouno coupé was introduced in 2017 at the Geneva Motor Show and had a limited production run of 5 units, all of which, according to the company, were sold. The coupé had a base price of US$1.69 million. The Zerouno Duerta (roadster) was introduced at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show and was also limited to 5 cars, which were also all reportedly sold.

Specifications and performance

The Zerouno is powered by the same mid-mounted 5.2 liter naturally aspirated V10 engine used in the Audi R8 and Lamborghini Huracán. It produces 602 hp (449 kW; 610 PS) at 8,250 rpm and 520 Nm (383.5 lb-ft) of torque at 6,500 rpm, with power going to all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The car uses a modular carbon fiber and aluminum chassis and has bodywork made of carbon fiber. It has a top speed of 205 mph (330 km/h) and can accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.2 seconds.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “limited production sports car manufactured by Italdesign Giugiaro” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q29014914. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2017 and 2018.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
