Why it matters

A pair of Zagato prototypes on the Fiat 132, with aluminium bodies. The material made the project too costly for Fiat, so the Aster stayed a two-car project, and critics of the time found its lines too close to Japanese cars.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

The first Aster, a green car, appeared at the 1972 Turin show and the second, an orange car with different details, at the 1973 Geneva show. Both used the mechanics of the standard Fiat 132 with its 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine.
