Historical and Technical Information

The Isuzu 117 Coupe is a Japanese upper mid-range passenger car produced by Isuzu Motors between 1968 and 1981. The “Late Version,” reproduced by Hasegawa, comes from the 1977-1981 years and is distinguished by its modernized styling with characteristic features such as rectangular headlights, introduced in the later years of production. The 117 Coupe was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro—one of the most renowned automotive designers—which also makes this model significant from a design history perspective.
