Famed automotive designer Ken Okuyama is best known for designing the original Honda NSX and Ferrari Enzo, but he now runs his own design studio which makes one-off commissions. One of his most striking designs is the Kode 0, which was unveiled in 2017. The car was designed to be a tribute to Seventies greats like the Lancia Stratos and Lamborghini Countach, reviving the distinctive wedge-shaped styling for the modern era. According to the designer’s press release, the Kode 0 features a 700 horsepower naturally aspirated V12 engine, and tips the scales at 1,550 kg (3,417 lbs).
The car reportedly cost $1.5 million to design and build, yet its owner wasn’t keen on keeping it for long. It ended up listed for sale only a year or so after it had been delivered, with a mere 1,368 miles on the odometer, reports Motor1. It sold for an undisclosed final price and its current owner has chosen to remain anonymous. Shortly after it was first unveiled, the Kode 0 made an appearance on Jay Leno’s Garage, with the video racking up over 1.4 million views as of the time of writing. At least enthusiasts will now always be able to admire the car in virtual form, even if the real thing is unlikely to leave the climate-controlled confines of its owner’s garage any time soon.
