Italdesign has reimagined a concept it designed 50 years ago.
The original Asso di Picche, the name meaning “Ace of Spades” in Italian, was based on the platform of the original Audi 80 andThe concept featured a distinct wedge-shaped body that would be adopted by multiple automakers, including Lancia and the DeLorean Motor Company, as well as Audi for its Quattro coupe.Like the original concept, the modern Asso di Picche is a coupe with 2+2 seating. However, it sheds the original's gas engine in favor of an electric setup.
For the interior, the two cylindrical components that formed the dash of the original concept have been reinterpreted as a thin screen that can be rolled up or unrolled as needed, according to Italdesign. Above the passenger compartment is a single panel that spans the roof and front and rear windshields. It has been treated like polarized sunglasses to filter out UV rays.
Italdesign hasn't said whether there are any further plans for the Asso di Picche In Movimento concept beyond its digital design.
