Reflecting his own style in a nod to past wedges, (2 of which also bear the name ’Zero,’ the Japanese ’78 Dome Zero and ’70 Lancia Stratos Zero by Bertone), Ken’s Kode 0 is cognizant of Guigiaro’s folded paper phase, like the earliest Esprit, though is more flinty than flat. Beneath a clear cover the engine rests within track ready looking structure, yet within elegantly sculpted doors that slice upward, a private world of emerald facets within soft dove grey surfaces and diamond stitched seats invites the driver. With so much carbon fiber it weighs 600 pounds less than the Aventador it’s built on, so the 6.5L V12 gets it from 0 to 60 in 2.9s. If there’s inspiration from nature, a manta ray’s gills and cephalic lobes are easily identified scooping air into the grill and below the side windows, shaded by the buttress of bodywork connecting the roof to the rear fender. Like the Kode 57, the Kode 0’s door mechanism and large, sculptural shapes reach upward, themselves art and function. #Concorso #Supercar #Kode #Kode0 #KenOkuyama #scissordoor #buttress #aventador#bespoke #designinspiration #Ferrari #wedge #bertone #italdesign #giugiaro #gandini #pinin #prototype #one-off #designreporter #ChristineReed #CarPhotographer #CarPhotos #carphotography #carsofinstagram (at Bayonet & Black Horse Golf Courses)

Same car, Kode 57 at Concorso last year, I'll post more on his 2017 Kode 0. Ken Okuyama’s offering last year, the Kode 57, may have been inspired by a Testarossa’s front fender with the appearance of raw muscle reaching over wheels. A nearly separated fender shape is a good lead in to Ken’s Kode or design language. This year Ken shows a more closed envelope which I’ll share next. #Concorso #Supercar #Kode #Kode0 #KenOkuyama #scissordoor #aventador#bespoke #ArtCenterDegree #designinspiration #Ferrari #wedge #bertone #italdesign #giugiaro #gandini #pinin #prototype #one-off #designreporter #ChristineReed #CarPhotographer #CarPhotos #carphotography #carsofinstagram
