The renowned design house that is responsible for the beautiful designs, can also be quite ugly. We put eleven examples for you in a row.

Of course, taste is subjective. Although I never anyone have seen that, for example, a Alfa 156 or a Peugeot 406 Coupe (pronounced ugly find. The Fiat auto iii is very interesting, and to have a different opinion to some, but it was a nice car, but a boil makes a woman not more beautiful.

If there is one design house is what still agree with a controversial design on the come up, is the Zagato. Most of the designs of Zagato are impressive and are even more beautiful as time passes. With these 11 units is more difficult. Boring it is not, in any event!

Ferrari 348 Elaborazione:
The 348 was both technically and optically is the basis for the F355, one of the most popular Ferrari’s of two decades ago. In which direction it could go left Zagato with the 348 Elaborazione. Some designs are more beautiful as time passes, this design is clearly not. Of the 8.844 built 348 pages, there are 10 a Zagato.

Zagato Autech Stelvio:
In Japan they had a lot of cars, the mirrors on the front fenders, instead of on the window. This to the dead angle and to reduce in tight situations easier from the feet. At this Autech Stelvio (actually, an Infiniti M30/Nissan Leopard), they are integrated into the front fenders, and with that, ehh, very irritating. But even without those bubbles is not a nice car.

Lamborghini Canto:
It had some feet in the earth with the successor of the Diablo. To the Bizzarini V12 to be able to provide sufficient cooling, had significantly larger air intakes on the hips. However, this was again seriously at the expense of the aerodynamics and the looks. Eventually it was the Belgian Luc Donckerwolke is responsible for the Murcielago. This had air intakes which close as the could and open when it had to.

Spyker C12 Zagato:
At the beginning of 2007 it seemed to go well with Spyker. They had various models in the pipeline, there were even cars built to be, and there was even real F1 team. In march 2007, the C12 Zagato to debut on the Geneva motor show. Based on the C8, but with a longer wheelbase and 500hp gekietelde 6.0 W12, which via a slow vijftrapsautomaat the rear wheels to powered. Were the ordinary Spykers though not free of a load of kitsch, the C12 Zagato did a big scoop on top.

Maserati Karif:
The advantage of a coupe is that you have a beautiful roofline. So a Zagato version of the little boring Biturbo sounded well in the ears. However, they decided to go for a Spyder with a fixed welded hardtop. Only advantage was the engine. If it did, then you could be entitled to claim 285pk. However, most of them received a catalytic converter, so the power dramatically decreased to 225pk. The intended 250 units was not met, but 221 they came much too close.

Zagato Volpe:
That is a very small electric cars, best kind, is proof of the Renault Twizy. However, the shelf, moreover, can also, what Zagato proves with the Volpe. This mobile hula-hoop, which seems more like a TopGear creation than a car of the most famous designers ever. The wheels, headlights and taillights seem to be in the size of a normal car, while the car itself is very small. A bit smaller than the Twizy, even.

Mercedes-Benz S500 Shooting Brake:
The intention of a Shooting Brake is that you have a beautiful coupe, an extended roofline to make room for the shotguns and maybe a dog or two. However, a corpulent coupe on the basis of a still corpulentere limo is not a good basis. Fortunately, it remained but one instance, which is also stolen.

Toyota VM180:
The MR2 was the last great Toyota until the GT86 available. But really beauty is not, so gave Toyota Modelista International commissioned Zagato to bodypanels. In combination with a 155pk gekietelde 1.8 you could this car actually build. There were eventually 100 kits sold, all in Japan.

Ferrari 3Z Spyder:
The 3Z Spyder is a one-off, ‘designed’by Liugi Chinetti. He worked just a year at Zagato when a rich man there aanklopte to a different carriage design and construction. The end result is a fairly generic roadster that is not very old but has become. Even worse: the basis of this 3Z Spyder is a 250 SWB California Spyder from 1961… The Campagnolo wheels were later put original there were Borrani wire wheels below.

Bentley Continental GTZ:
The ordinary Continental GT is a bit like the Renault Clio of Monaco, you see them everywhere in certain circles. So to be a little more exclusive with your Bentley, you can go to Mulliner, or even worse, Mansory. But instead of the carriage decorating could 9 affluent connoisseurs also go for a totally different carriage. Some details are also worth a visit. The first drawings were also promising, but it looks the end result is somewhere not to be correct. Like a slightly overweight girl slightly too tight designerjurkje. Full bosom, but also to a lot of unwanted rolls.

Thunder Power Sedan:
The specs of this Taiwanese electric supersedan are huge. 600km range, 250km/h top speed and charging in a half an hour. Instead, just as competitor Tesla a sleek design to apply early to Zagato to the future car for the Sake Root to develop. Probably.

Wrongly? Or one to forget? Let us know in the comments!
