Go Rad or Go Home: 1985 Isuzu Impulse with 22K Miles

One of the most beautiful Giugiaro penned vehicles is our choice for today’s connoisseur. This mint 1985 Isuzu Impulse, with 22K miles and looking minty-fresh. Coming from FB Marketplace,  and looking extremely nice. The first Isuzu Impulse I ever saw and fall in love with, was this exact shade of gold.

Giorgetto Giugiaro is a renowned Italian car designer who has made an indelible mark in the automotive industry. He is famous for his bold and innovative designs that have inspired many car manufacturers. One of his most notable works is the Isuzu Piazza, a stunning sports car that was a product of the “4 Aces” project.

The “4 Aces” project was a collaboration between four Japanese carmakers, namely Isuzu, Honda, Mazda, and Nissan. The goal of the project was to create a range of sports cars that would showcase the technological prowess and design expertise of the companies involved. Giugiaro was tasked with designing the exterior of the Isuzu Piazza, which was also known as the Impulse in the United States.

The first-generation Isuzu Piazza was launched in 1981 and was an instant hit. It had a futuristic design that was way ahead of its time. The car’s sharp lines and sleek profile were a testament to Giugiaro’s design prowess. The Piazza’s design was not only aesthetic but also functional. It had a low coefficient of drag, which meant that it was more aerodynamic and fuel-efficient than its competitors.

Under the hood, the Isuzu Piazza was powered by a range of engines, including a turbocharged 1.8-liter engine that produced 135 horsepower. The car also had a sport-tuned suspension system, which made it a joy to drive on winding roads. This one is the naturally aspirated engine.

In conclusion, Giorgetto Giugiaro’s design of the Isuzu Piazza is a testament to his creative genius. The car’s sleek design and impressive performance made it a fan favorite during its time. Today, it is still regarded as one of the most beautiful sports cars ever made.

This one is NOT the turbo, and NOT manual. But still is incredibly handsome. The owner is asking $15,000 but perhaps you can take it to the B@T casino and find a friendly money launderer.
