Do you (and by you i mean me, so really this is a masturbatory excercise, although the internet without masturbation isn't really the internet)know about the Cizeta-Moroder V16?

It is a Big Deal.

The Cizeta-Moroder V16 is a short story about the 80's.

Georgio Moroder invents Disco and rides this wave into the eighties. In 1988, he teams up with a Lamborghini parts manufacturer to realize his ultimate-hyper-masculine-fever-dream-cum-coke-fantasy -- This car weighs 4,000 lb's & runs on two V8 engine blocks Voltron'd together into a "V16". Moroder fucking goes for it, puts on the widest tires available on the market, full leather, air conditioning, ejector seat, whatever. When the car is finally ready for production, it costs $600,000, no one wants it, the economy fails, and only 8 are ever made.

OBVS a perfect parable for the eighties in that gordon gecko, new-money-and-cocaine, rise-and-fall-of-the-american-ego kind of way, and the main character was totally Giorgio Moroder, who sort of built up the cultural noise that eventually hit this crescendo or whatever.

do you see it?
