Asso di Quadri
BMW Karmann
2+2 coupe with soft, aerodynamic shape
Karmann commissioned Giugiaro for the study of a both realistic and immediately producible 2+2 coupe built over the BMW 320 platform and mechanical assembly.
BRAND: BMW Karmann
MODEL: Asso di Quadri
YEAR: 1976
BODY TYPE: Sports car
POWER SUPPLY: Combustion
CATEGORY: Concept car
DESIGNER: Giorgetto Giugiaro
Giugiaro left the wheelbase unchanged and worked on the overhangs, increasing the front one and shortening the rear one by quite a bit: reproportioning in this way enabled him to create a sporty look without modifying the engineering assembly in the slightest. The Asso di Quadri is not "related" to the Asso di Picche (1973) or the Asso di Fiori (1979), if only just in name. Giugiaro transferred the marked, aggressive lines of the Asso di Picche to a softer, more aerodynamic shape.
