The Aztec is a sports car introduced by Italdesign at the 1988 Turin Motor Show, to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the establishment of the firm. The two-seater is unique because the driver and passenger are separated, requiring the two parties to communicate electronically. It incorporates a speedster body style with partial visor sections which are removable and open in a gull-wing arrangement. It was fitted with a turbocharged Audi engine mated to a four-wheel-drive system derived from the Lancia Delta HF Integrale. A Turin-based trading company called Compact SRL bought the rights to the Aztec and planned to build 50 examples, to be sold exclusively in Japan. Carrozzeria Savio was contracted to build the cars. According to most sources only 18 cars were ever built, although some sources simply state the production number as "less than 25".

Man I so wish Italdesign had a museum of their concepts. Some of them were really really good

That's right, now it's considered Cassette Futurism aesthetic.

The “Manometer” measures how much bigger your penis gets by driving one, I assume.
