Engineers

Giorgetto Giugiaro

A world-renowned car designer. He has had a very close relationship with Isuzu since the late sixties, and designed the Piazza as well as the 117 Coupe and the second-generation Gemini. The Asso di Fiori, unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, went on sale as the Piazza two years after its unveiling.
