    Default Cizeta V16 Confiscated By US Federal Agents

    The Cizeta V16 is probably one of the rarest Italian supercars you’ll ever come across. Developed by ex-Lamborghini engineer Claudio Zampolli with financial backing Giorgio Moroder, the Cizeta production run lasted only four years (1991-1995). Only ten were made in this time, all with a V16 creating 560bhp and propelling the car to a top speed of 328km/h (204mph).
