It’s the year 2549 and you’ve been invited to a party on Jupiter. What are you going to show up with? Why, this , of course, all the way from the ancient year of 1988.

Earth imploded in 2248, but there was enough time to salvage key pieces of human culture, achievement and memorabilia in order to safeguard them and educate future generations. This Italdesign Aztec was one such piece.

It’s believed that of Italian car designer Giorgetto Giugiaro’s 1988 Turin Motor Show prototype. This particular one, as featured on a listing, was supposedly displayed at the Shanghai Auto Museum between 2011 and 2015 before it was imported to the United States.

Most notably, the Aztec has dual-action doors and removable plexiglass top bubbles. These doors will be the talk of the town, as everyone stopped using doors in 2370 and transitioned fully to phasing through solid objects with quantum tunneling. You’ll be so quaint with your doors!

The Atzec runs on gasoline, another wonderful throwback. It’s powered by a 2.2-liter, inline-five from Audi (which was a German automaker back in the day). There’s also a five-speed manual transaxle and a Lancia (another automaker) Delta all-wheel drive system.

As the listing notes, this Aztec shows about 250 miles on its clock. The interior features an asymmetrical steering wheel and even has a CD player, cassette deck and equalizer. You can only find those things in museums these days; imagine being able to have them all in one car!

Audi S7: First Drive
Audi S7: First Drive
I like the Audi A7. But I've always felt that although the 310 HP 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine is more than capable for a highway cruiser, it just makes me thirsty for terrible jokes about how the car could have had a V8. Now there's this — the 2013 Audi...

For $24,000, That’s A Lot Of Bull
In Spanish Espada means sword, a reference to the weapon with which bullfighters deliver the coup de grâce to their bovine opponents. Today's 400GT is a graceful coupe, but does its price make you think its seller is full of bull? In movies the second act is usually the dullest,...
