Giorgio Moroder is auctioning off the prototype of a sports car he developed in the 1980s with Italian mechanic and Lamborghini specialist Claudio Zampolli. The 1988 Cizeta-Moroder V16T is the concept build of a vehicle in which Moroder had heavily invested, but which never entered production. The auction happens on January 27 in Phoenix, Arizona.
