Zagato to build Ferrari 575 "Zero"

Inspired by the beautiful 1956 Ferrari classic, 250 GTZ, Zagato plans to build the 575 zero.

12 March 2006

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of its classic car, the 1956 Ferrari 250 GTZ, Italian design house and coachbuilder Zagato will build a car that evokes the 250 GTZ. The classic custom Ferrari has won both races and concours competitions in its 50 years and is known to be one of the most beautiful cars ever built.

Zagato has decided to build a car, the 575 "Zero", inspired by the 250 GTZ. Like the 250 GTZ, the 575 zero will be made entirely in aluminum. The new car will have a two-tone paintwork as well as various styling cues that hark back to the 1950s, including Zagato's trademark "double-bubble" roofline.

Zagato is keeping the 575 Z under wraps, but has put the historical 250 GTZ on display at the Geneva show this year. In the meanwhile, gaze on!
