Piazza - Impulse
Isuzu
Coupe for the Japanese market
At the 1981 Geneva Show, Giugiaro exhibited the first pre-production model of the car that had been dubbed the Piazza, following the Asso di Fiori prototype, and was to be sold in Japan from the following May onwards.
BRAND: Isuzu
MODEL: Piazza - Impulse
YEAR: 1981
BODY TYPE: Sports car
POWER SUPPLY: Combustion
CATEGORY: Production car
DESIGNER: Giorgetto Giugiaro
The characteristics of the mass production article were almost identical to those of the first prototype: Isuzu requested Giugiaro to increase the overall dimensions of the car (especially the wheelbase) so as to make the passenger compartment roomier in view of a possible exportation of the car to the United States market. From the point of view of shape and interior the variations were minimal.
