Yes. Also the carrosseriespecialisten of Zagato beat the shelf ever wrong.

Anyone with a bit of peut in the veins know that the Italian coachbuilder from Milan has a rich history in which many Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin or BMW a prettier appearance. Every now and then, they tried it also on a car of Japanese make, but the results were still a lot smaakafhankelijker. That brings us to the Nissan Autech Stelvio Zagato.

This creation stands on the platform of the old Infiniti M30 and was, in 1989, came with a turbogeblazen 3.0-liter V6 under the hood. Good for 284 hp at 6000 rpm and a torque of 401 Nm at 2800 rpm, forces that through a viertrapsautomaat to the rear wheels went. For the technical development was Nissan-tuner Autech responsible, while Zagato the bodywerk well.

In a fine piece of out-of-the-box thinking, decided to Zagato, the side mirrors are on the hood and two plates over to fold. Something different than the camera’s. It was a construction that will undoubtedly for a reduction of the air resistance made, but it resulted in one of the strangest car hoods ever.

The 4.3-metre-long and 1559 kg weight Autech Stelvio Zagato was a limited edition of 200 pieces produced, and was offered for 18 million Yen (now $ 128.448). We were tipped that there is a silver used car from ’91 for sale in Italy, with an asking price of €90.000.

One of the least-known Zagato’s for 90k, pretty fun for the collectors, it seems obvious to us. However, We are particularly pleased that Zagato this zijspiegelgeintje in an obscure Nissan has failed, in place of the Alfa Romeo SZ that around the same time was released and the same kind of styling enjoy.
