Picking up our Cizeta V16 Supercar, 1 of 9!!

After over 1 year of chasing this incredible car, the day has arrived... our Cizeta V16T has arrived to Miami. Join us for a behind the scenes look with Dani Clos, ex-F1 driver for the arrival of the former Sultan of Brunei, Cizeta V16T. This unique Italian Supercar was used for the 1993 Geneva Auto Show, and ONLY 9 cars were produced by Cizeta Automobili in period in Modena, Italy. More to come on the Cizeta, including a detailed look inside and DRIVE!

[@Zepherian]

Ah, the *other* Diablo. Well done sir, well done.

[@alexander1485]

with 4 extra cylinders and 2 extra headlights

[@jamessmithe]

Giorgio Moroder even composed a theme song for the car that was played at the unveiling event in 1988. He also designed the Cizeta-logo itself. I am aware you only heard Claudio's side of the story but you cannot talk about the V16T and not mention Giorgio. Without him the Cizeta would have stayed in Claudio's dreams forever.

[@carmelothegoat1892]

Hey that guy composed the theme song for Scarface too!!! What a LEGEND!

[@hudsonpowell8306]

Claudios my grandpa and I worked on the 9th cizeta with him I’m with him right now he is such a sweet soul

[@1anre]

Was he the chief engineer or what?

[@marcducheine9700]

If it was a Sultan of Brunei (or more likely, his brother) car, the story of the chase to find and buy this car would no doubt also be interesting for this channel!

[@mr3e3e67]

It's the Sultan's car, Prince Jefri doesn't own any Cizeta V16 's. It wasnt his style...

[@daffitoandwidjaya1331]

I think Sultan of Brunei had the other Cizeta V16T with black colour RHD but the engine broken and they changed the engine with 512M right now the Cizeta were sitting in Joe Macaris Museum the blue RHD as far as i know sultan owns it but he put in Singapore at Hong Seh with his BMW Nazca (CMIIW) i dont know where the other RHD unit just 2 that i have been look the blue and black

[@faizannadeem2431]

Amazing car! would love to see quirks and features of this one by Doug !!!

[@mrako84]

It's so great to see another car being rescued from rotting in Brunei. This a gem. Please tell us the story of how you managed to find it and how you managed to get it out of "The Collection". We need more pics of the Brunei garages. Can't wait for the next video! Keep it up!

[@craigsarsver]

John and Curated, thank you for putting this video up, looking forward to more Cizeta content.

[@Johnathan_Waters]

Wowwwwww.... Thank you so much for documenting and filming this! Congrats!

[@romans8forging181]

Wow!!! Incredible!!! I remember reading about that car in all of the car magazines when I was a kid! You truly have one of the most special cars for this time period. Congratulations!

[@dirtrider3526]

I love the car, I love the history, and I love the whole video all around. My favorite part is the swapping pics of ur kids with one another. Nothing makes me more proud then the rare moment where I can whip out my phone and show off my son!!!

[@stewartnoel9810]

Always loved this car. Love the idea that you will be showing it to the world. Its motoring history

[@JimZRyd]

Amazing!!! Honestly had forgotten about this beauty! Can’t wait to see your video on her!!!

[@kurtbarrett6785]

What an epic purchase! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

[@thejmhguy]

Was looking forward to this for a while since you announced the V16 was coming to the collection! Wicked to see it finally arrive! Another epic story! :D

[@WeAreCurated]

Thank you brother! Wait till you see the first start up and test drive... : )

[@adamluke1289]

@@WeAreCurated Looking forward to it!

[@larrychamel]

Another extremely Rare find John. As always, very well Done my friend! Congratulations. Stay well Brother and my Best to your Family always. ❤🙏🙏🙏❤

[@carsandguitars2361]

this was great to watch i remember seeing and reading about this car when i was 16 years old and has always been my money no object dream car. and a car that no one ever knew what i was talking about. great video

[@kw0017]

Stunned you have tracked one of these down. Remember seeing reviews in period and thinking what a cool car

[@StewartLucrative]

I just commented on one of you other videos asking if you had any experience with Cizeta's, lol! Perfect timing. Thanks for sharing, I love these cars!

[@AnitaHandjob]

Hoping this video puts you even further up on the YT popularity channels! You deserve it buddy!

[@lucapupulin6990]

My favoured super car ever! Claudio was a real Genius....

[@1anre]

After the BMW V16, this is the second 16-cylinder car I’m seeing. When people see you driving older cars from a time before, they think you just link to inconvenience yourself, they don’t know that a car having soul can go a long way into making you forget every other thing and have the time of your life with that car.

[@paulberman1979]

WOW John, that is incredible!!!

[@johnmcloven1328]

Epic content from Curated! Cant wait for the next video...

[@aliosmanatali19]

Wow! Enjoyed with that. Waiting for the start up!

[@mouse5178]

I use to own my dream car, a 96 Bonzai blue Diablo VT but stupidly sold it and miss it every day. I see so much of the Diablo in the Cizeta. Cool video thanks

[@mo-hammadabunaser1367]

The Sultan of Brunei.. the man who lived our car fantasy dreams Is there any interview with him discussing the cars?

[@daffitoandwidjaya1331]

or maybe is there any new footage of his garage right now =)

[@Inazuma68]

Cannot wait to hear the V16. As a Swiss I remember seeing it at Geneva Salon

[@bostonjimmyd]

Thanks for sharing! Awesome car...

[@tjmoneybags]

Wow. Amazing. The blue does look great!

[@details78]

Brilliant! Curating the most interesting vehicles in the world. There seems to be no limit.

[@jasonmaiden5026]

Incredible! Can't wait to see more!

[@benzinapaul7416]

Stunning. Always remember reading about the Cizeta in CAR magazine in the UK, it was on the cover, noted journalist Steve Cropley drove it - was white with a red interior. Sursprised you didn't mention the Giorgio Moroder connection who sadly died recently. Can't wait for the next video on it. Thanks for sharing this insight

[@Lightdasher360]

I'm glad you guys mentioned the feeling of new cars. I think they are nicely described as modern appliances that function as cars. Definitely good for our lives, but older cars and a few modern examples will always be special in comparison.

[@paulreed197]

Great Story & a Beautiful find John @wearecurated .. A Unicorn. Definitely a 90's Classic Super Car that needs to be shared with everyone, before it goes off into a private collection.

[@theanimelibarian7881]

I dont understand this share before it goes to a collection these cars always was for rich people lol the hell

[@redtesta]

Claudio, great guy. Met him early 2000's at facility in Orange County. Amazing.

[@joshdobson2737]

Don't think I've ever seen one with the headlights up I can't wait for the next installment

[@MRVSKIN]

Cannot wait to see this next video. What a car

[@sarahdell4042]

It actually looks amazing in that shade of blue

[@GinoBecerra2604]

Wow! nice add to the showroom! Greetings from Lima-Perú :)

[@briangeary4228]

was that jay leno in at 4:55...... awsome car thanks

[@charlie1832]

You should try and get in touch with Jay Leno and bring this to his garage when the COVID is under control, I’m sure with such a rare car and someone who worked at Lamborghini he’d want to see it

[@theanimelibarian7881]

He's overrated as hell he loves talking over people and shit love hearing himself talk and his ego

[@farewell_to_normalcy9352]

@@theanimelibarian7881 have you ever met him? Cause I have. I toured is entire garage on a whim. Nicest guy ever. Very funny and not one time did I think he was an asshole or a show boat

Jay Leno was at Geneva when this car was revealed.

[@PapaG603]

Wow just wow...great find..i wasnt watching the time and i didnt wNt it to end

[@BennoSpecs]

More videos like these John! Amazing car!

[@77yogurt]

How fitting is it that at 1:20 the Cizeta is being unveiled and what's in the background but a Chrysler minivan!!! 😁😁😁😁😁

[@justinregister795]

Absolutely incredible!

[@actontreadway1168]

I heard one fire up in LA a few years back. What a sound.

[@ECE2424]

Oh boy another great story coming soon!😬 I love the cars obviously but the story and the case are my favourite parts for sure. Correction... John talking with his hands is my favourite!😜

[@carlos64030]

Back in like 1989 or 1990, one of the magazines... Motor Trend, Automobile or Car & Driver, maybe all of them ran an article on the Cizeta Moroder. I've always had the belief that this was the prototype to the Diablo. It wasn't until the early 2000s when I learned that this car actually was in production for a few years. I still haven't seen one in person and this is the first time I've seen one on video. Pretty exciting!

[@craigallen5092]

A very cool video! Keep making them!

[@IMCARS]

Super cool! Looking forward to the next videos!

[@fanolbelica6543]

Gorgeous car cant wait to see the test drive

[@Nord_Mann]

Every genuine petrol head knows about this car, but almost no one has seen it and heard it run. Can’t wait for the next video. 16 cylinders is just bonkers! I think they mated two V8’s together? Be sure to include the story of it’s design and engineering in your next video. Congratulations!

[@mohammedal-r471]

Congratulations on the latest acquisition, well done!

[@joa938]

great!!! form brazil here!

[@06VistaBlueGT1]

Thank you John for doing a video on this car. I remember reading all the auto magazines back then (I'm 43 now, so you can figure my age, lol). I always thought it was so different and unique with the double row of pop up headlights and then the dog lights below the bumper. Such an awesome accomplishment to track it down. I was so excited when I saw the thumbnail picture in my notifications bar. Can't wait for the next installment! One question? Did you guys ever sell the hats yet? Would love to buy one to wear to the local cars & coffee up here in Pennsylvania. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@einautofan6685]

And I was faszinated by the small tail light band and the 2 fans in the diffusor of the EB110 Prototypes! Also long ago...😉

[@wmorton4586]

Wow, hopefully it will be at Amelia next year there is a 80s and 90s supercar class so would be perfect for it to be there!

[@watchjaredwork1487]

Wow. Looks amazing.

[@rocky_top_deluxe]

Thank you for sharing 🙌

[@babybugy1]

i have an old magazine from when this came out its awesome

[@josephwirth8223]

The most beautiful car I've ever seen

[@MatiKosa]

12:15 - the moment the container door opens...my heart just skipped a beat. I saw this particular blue car long time ago on the internet, not sure why the address was given for Prague, Czech Republic. It had the "CIZETA PROTOTYPE" black plate at the front. Strikingly similar to this one, a blue one with blue interior, though the site claims it was from 1994. Not sure if that was/is the same car, if you are saying blue was the only one ever produced, but all of the white emblems, including that one the right is something I have never seen on any other Cizeta and it is on that car too...It looks like it is the very same car... Please share as much information and history about the car and the chasing process, because it's just fascinating. Whether you decide to sell it or not - please make sure to show it, expose it, let the people know about this great piece of automotive history. www.motor1.com/news/36864/cizeta-moroder-v16t-up-for-sale-in-prague/

[@aymaneoubad5057]

Great video and a great car !

[@lestatelvampir69]

Awesome car!

[@BobGeogeo]

What a find! I'm really looking forward to the follow up. The Cizeta appears a little after 12:00 . For my taste, the first 12 minutes could have been trimmed by 1/3 without losing anything.

[@77yogurt]

True. But then there'd be less ad revenue.

[@BobGeogeo]

@@77yogurt Sadly also true. I'm trying to be positive. At best 6-8 minutes out of the first 12 were useful. If someone said less I wouldn't argue.

[@charlie1832]

Coolest looking car I’ve never heard of before

[@mastercarclub]

I’m just shocked with all of that information, amazing video.

[@AfroMyrdal]

6 salty people that didn't buy one way back in the day already down voted this video... This is so dope man, can't wait to see it!!

[@JJsAutomotive]

One hell of a risky buy. The rare V16 is the redeeming feature on it.

[@lifeofoz455]

I thought I found a diablo the other in a barn out in Lewiston NY (cornfield) and the damn thing was a darn replica with a fierro engine. 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@marcducheine9700]

Life of Oz mention it to Tavarish. He might be interested in such a project.

[@edwinthomas618]

Its funny. It looks like another version of when Andre Agassi picking up his Vector in the 90s.

[@investfourmore]

Does it run? I have heard these were incredibly hard to tune

[@TommioRS]

I have all ways wanted a Cizeta v16! Its the other Diablo! Super nice!

[@racerx8410712]

This comment is for this channel overall: This channel is brilliant. I recall John mentioning in a previous upload that he received odd or negative comments, perhaps some regarding how he looked? How asinine. I would give my left....to simply have lunch with John (and be classy and pay for it). John took the bull by the horns and created a job all of us would die for. Speaking of intentional puns when it comes to life I am a Lamborghini man. I am a raging bull not a prancing horse. And not that I don't have respect for Ferrari (they are like Harley Davidson: I don't care to ride a Harley but I respect their heritage). However, I am a maverick. I am one who was destined to carve out his own path.

[@MrDustr]

Wow 🔥🔥🔥

[@ES-wn6fx]

On left fender, was that damage?

[@miguela.alvarez7284]

It's a cool Diablo sort of concept car that is real.. 👍👍 Not many v16's out there..

[@fredgen4811]

Very nice video.

[@rjscott6116]

Rare, different, special, collectable, museum class, unique, vehicles with an interesting story are my life's blood, my passion, the air I breathe, my ultimate fantasy, the one thing I could own that would make my heart race, as a smile covers my face that makes my checks hurt, even after days of lost sleep, and constant praising of the Lord... nothing could compare. It's my fantasy, and I can't say I've ever had dream come true, with the closest I've been being a Cadillac Allante, which had a body, and interior built by Pininfarina, an incredible back story, even if it was a car that was far from successful. My heart broke, and is still very broken over that car. I had a Corvette, I have a BMW 540i right now, and would burn it for another Allante, or something else... you know, truly special. Driving is empty now. To own that car, I would cry for days with joy I couldn't possibly put into words. I would slept by it, eat by it, love it. Today, it's as if the passion has drained from my life until the day I can somehow, some way, aquire a car that is special... I know it sounds weird, but doctors have told me I have a condition that could spell the end of my life. I have no wife, no kids, and I could be staring at the end of my life. It wouldn't be responsible for me to even try to have a child, or to fall in love so I can abandon them. I don't know if I will die before at least (and to say "least" seems so inappropriate, because it means so much to me it's hard not to break down as I write this) of that automotive dream becomes a reality, for no matter how briefly, I will die with memories so beautiful, if a soul is conscious, with a memory, and can recall the past, my soul would be filled with joy every time I get the privilege to remember when I was the custodian of an automotive legend, driving a moment I'm time, washing her, caring for her needs, going to as many automotive shows as possible to display her, etc., etc. That is such a deeply embedded part of me, that when you speak of why rare.and special cars interest you far more than new cars, well, as a man who would rather have a Panoz, lotus, Consullier, Sbarro, the list of names goes on and on, than 2 brand new S classes, a couple brand new 760il (a classic B3, B5, B6, or B7 would be world's better) BMWs. Even that Lambo you're driving is not the same, as it's mostly the results of parts sharing, compromise, and the decisions of a conglomerate, not the passion of people who love automobiles. It's cool, I'd be happy to own one, I'd appreciate it, but it's just not the same.

[@jameskeelor6172]

Wow!! Who knew....John did

[@heavenstomurgatroyd7033]

Does it still have the Japanese headlights?

[@bicyclist2]

This qualifies as "car porn". Excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor. This is what dreams are made of. There just aren't any words to express how holy this is. I remember seeing pictures back when they were new. If I could only have one super car. This would be it. Thank you.
