Ken Okuyama is famous for his time as lead designer at
Pininfarina, and specifically known for penning the
Ferrari Enzo. He now has his own design house in Japan. Last year, he wowed the world with a one-off supercar, called the
Kode57, at the
Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. That car will return to
The Quail this year, but will be joined by a new stablemate, a wedge-shaped supercar called Kode 0.
We don’t have a lot of details about the car yet, but what we do know is enough to excite us. The Kode 0 is powered by a V12 situated amidships. We’re not sure what the output is, but the 6.0-liter V12 in the Kode57 produces about 600 horsepower, if that’s any indication. The Kode 0 features a carbon fiber monocoque, which helps the car save weight and provides structural rigidity. The photo of the car in a magazine ad posted to
Okyuama’s Facebook page says the Kode 0 is inspired by Italian supercars from the 70s, like the Lancia Stratos Zero and
Lamborghini Countach.
In addition to the magazine photo, Okuyama has posted the following teaser shots of the car:
According the
Ken Okuyama Design website, the Kode 0 will be unveiled at The Quail on Friday. We can expect to learn more details then.
