Last time, we have already communicated what Zagato design rather the retina knew to defy. Now is the time to have a nice instance!
Alfa Romeo 155 TI.Z Sperimentazione Strada
Yes, there were fast Alfa 155’s. The Q4 with its Delta Integrale drivetrain and the V6 were certainly not to be sneezed at. But there was no real street version of the DTM racer. Zagato brought there partly change in by a bodykit for the 155, which was what seemed like the DTM car of Nicola Larini. In Japan there was a company formed (Z Automobili), where there are 26 pieces to be produced. Subcutaneous you had to own the quantity of pep, because he was not the mark harder than the normal 155.
O. S. C. A. 1600 GT
Small introduction regarding this precious brand. The brothers Maserati were the founders of the eponymous sports car manufacturer. The Family Orsi took a large share in the company in 1937 and in 1947 the brothers decided to (again) their own brand: O. S. C. A. Maserati’s were too bulky, heavy and not pure enough, so the brothers went for them yourself. The 1600 GT is a example of the rare gems that the factory gates in Bologna have left.
Fiat 8V Elaborota Berlinetta (1953):
Some Zagato designs are beautiful, but also to get used to. That is not the case with the 8V Elaborata. From every angle, this is just a beauty. The normal 8V was already special, but there were a few 8V’s sent by coachbuilders (Vignale, Ghia) that there is their own body. 30 of them came at Zagato. The technique is also particular: a 2.0-liter V8 with an inclined angle of 70 degrees. Yet, what else other than a Twin Air. From the time that Fiats were particularly.
Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta ‘Tour de France’
In the past it was not uncommon for carrossiers special cars provided of an even more special coach. It Was the 3Z is not really a success, these GTZ was me. There are two built, of which the Tour de France the most beautiful in the Lancia blue with a white roof. In addition to beautiful, the cars also very fast: there were several successes achieved in racing on roads.
Aston Martin DB7 Zagato
Yes, the Zagato version of the DB4 is the absolute winner, but the DB7 is absolutely not to be missed. In early 2000, it was Aston Martin again with Zagato in the sea. The design is very bold, but absolutely worth it, if not post it yourself involves crafting. Especially the roof and glazing behind are beautiful. In any case, you have no longer the tail lights of a Mazda 323 F on your British car. There were 99 of built. Later, there were still 99 open versions on a shortened chassis, the AR-1. Also, the engine was something opgepept and the chassis improved a lot.
Perana Z-One
The South African car market is remarkable. In addition to unique versions of the Golf and Corolla are also sports cars built. The Perana Z-One is a modern interpretation of the Cobra. The builders of this project, Superformance are known as the best Cobra (and GT40) replica builders in the business. It seems that there are already production plans since 2009, but that doesn’t quite come off the ground. The car has been reincarnated in 2012 as the AC 378 GT Zagato. Technically, sharing the car with the best parts with a Corvette C6 engine (LS6 or LS7) and transmission. The suspension is unique and developed in cooperation with Bilstein and Eibach.
Cadillac NART:
Luigi Chinetti had the wrong by the Ferrari 3Z to build, especially when you consider the car they have sacrificed. That Chinetti also good ideas had appeared from the fact to the Cadillac NART to develop. The base was a Cadillac Eldorado, which is in its fifth generation of giant engines had, coupled with front wheel drive (!). The engine was placed in the middle and the transmission is reversed. This created a vierzits sports car with mid-engine. Zagato was responsible for the coachwork.
Lancia Flavia Sport Zagato:
The contribution of value co @Dizono. In addition to the fact that the F40 and Tatra 411 his favorite cars, he has cherished secret feelings towards this jewel on wheels. Rumor says that he is the picture of his girlfriend in his wallet has been replaced for a picture of this particular Flavia. Not to be confused with a omgekatte Chrysler.
BMW Zagato Coupe
The BMW Z3 coupe was special, the Z4 Coupe was even nice to mention. Of the second-generation Z4, there is never a Coupe. Because the Z4 is a klapdak had, it would be a coupe are redundant. Zagato proved that that’s not entirely the case. The regular Z4 is definitely not an ugly car, but lacks perhaps a bit of muscles. That was the Zagato version is completely put right. Also there was a real open version, without a roof. Both were, however, a styling study, unfortunately.
Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato:
Perhaps the most successful of the bunch, anyway the most expensive. The DB4 was absolutely no ugly car, but was a little stricken in age and missed a little more ‘schwung’. With the DB4 is that exactly properly addressed, without too far to shoot. A masterpiece by Ercole Spada. There are also DB4 GT’s that did not by Zagato built. A real DB4 GT Zagato is rare: there are 19 built.
Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ:
Again a meesterstukje of Ercole Spada. The name Tubulare Zagato, was for the tubular frame on which the car was built. The Giulia TZ was a very light (650kg!) and compact model with a small but venijning vierpittertje. Thanks to the sophisticated streamline with Kammtail was the TZ not only very beautiful, but also very fast.
And now for the question: what is the Zagato design is your favorite? Or are we still alone forgotten? Let us know in the comments!
