Asso di Picche

As with the Cheetah, an existing platform and mechanical assembly (those of the Audi 80) were to be used, and a shape laid out that, while rich in forward-looking touches, would lend itself to limited production. Giugiaro took off from the geometrical features of the Boomerang the trapeziums, tracing out an extremely graphic, eye-catching shape. While keeping the length of the Audi 80 unchanged, he worked on the overhangs, shortening the one at the rear and lengthening the front one to give more rake to the car. The Asso di Picche was very clearly to influence the design of the Delta (1979): the treatment of the surface areas is identical, as is the cross-section.
