TheΒ Audi Asso di PiccheΒ is aΒ 1973 concept carΒ developed byΒ ItaldesignΒ under the direction ofΒ Giorgetto Giugiaro, with construction undertaken byΒ Karmann.
The elegant fastback coupe from Audiβs first-generation C1 platform provided a convenient disguise for Porscheβs experimental drivetrain and suspension systems.
TheΒ Audi 80 (B1) four-door sedan, produced fromΒ 1972 to 1976, marked Audiβs entry into the modern compact-sedan segment and laid the foundation for what would become the brandβs long-runningΒ B-series.
Among the earliest known styling studies for Audi's K50 program is a little-known proposal developed by Italy's Stile Bertone believed to have been created around 1970.
