Unleashing the Zagato Ferrari 575GTZ

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Ferrari 250 GTZ, Zagato has released new photos of its newest car, the Ferrari 575GTZ. Yushiyuki Hayashi, a famous Japanese car collector, asked Zagato if it would be possible to create a body for his 575M, in the style of the famous 250GTZ berlinetta. Zagato informed Ferrari of the project, which would be a good opportunity to celebrate the model's anniversary, and then created a car that harked back to the 250 GTZ, built around the Ferrari 575.

Just like its forebear, the 575 GTZ has an all-aluminium body, and, as a tribute to Ferrari and to two-seater Italian sports cars, it has joined the exclusive group of cars that are the fruit of the tradition of custom-built cars. Similar to the 250 GTZ, it sports two-tone paintwork with styling cues and volumes that explicitly refer back to the 1950s.

The model is a sublime synthesis of prestige and performance, elegance and sportiness, to the point that it can boast the highest value of any car in the luxury period sports car market. Its concept of sporty elegance, functional design that does not merely follow the trend of the moment but strives for pure performance, and the ultra-light aluminum body make Zagato a winner.
