Asso di Fiori

The Asso di Fiori was Giugiaro’s fifth "Copernican revolution", after the radiator grille with incorporated headlights (Alfa Romeo 2000 Sprint, 1960), bonded windows (Alfa Romeo Canguro, 1964), built-in painted bumpers (Asso di Picche, 1973) and cut of the hatch wrapping onto the sides (Volkswagen Golf, 1974). Exterior drip channels eliminated, all flush-fitting windows, and limousine doors and rear hatch are three ideas that had already been glimpsed at individually both on his earlier prototypes and, partially, on other cars. What was extraordinary about them here was that they were all worked in together and were technically feasible.
