Zagato would like to inform you the supposed Zagato 575 GTZ Spyder is a fake. A rep from the venerable Italian design firm says the shot we ran earlier this week — the one that triggered some puzzled stares around the Jalopnik virtual campus — is an "illegally photoshopped" spec of the Zagato 575 GTZ coupe, a one-off coachbuilding project Zagato undertook for Japanese Ferrari collector Yushiyuki Hayashi. The prevailing cover story had Qvale Automotive Group — a US distributorship of exotic cars and entity behind the erstwhile, Ford-powered Qvale Mangusta — as the supposed distributor of the roofless rebody. Although we've always believed where there's smoke, there's fire, we still wouldn't bet on any of this panning out. More »

Ferrari's taking the wayback machine to 1956, producing an abso-fab spectacta-car celebrating the 50th anniversary of the famous 250 GTZ berlinetta. The aluminum body, meant to fit atop the already insta-classic 575, sports a two-tone paintwork with styling cues that would make it's poppa proud. Our friends at supercars have the whole story, but like the 250 GTZ 50 years ago, the 575 GTZ will be presented in a world premier at Villa D'Este Concours D'Elegance this weekend. Remember to keep checking in with us throughout the weekend as we'll be bringing you more coverage from the picturesque estates of Italy. More »

The first shot of Zagato's commemorative Ferrari 575 GTZ, a bespoke homage to Zagato Ferraris of the '50's and '60s, was released this week. The rebodied 575, which will be unveiled at the Villa D'Este Concours D'Elegance in Italy next week, is pictured with Yushiyuki Hayashi — the collector who commissioned the glorified hot rod. Despite looking like a shortened Scaglietti that's been strategically pumped up with helium, it's pretty sharp. Multimillion-dollar sharp? We'll see. More »

It's shaping up to be an intercontinental grudge match between two Ferrari collectors for the swankiest one-of-a-kind Ferrari. First James Glickenhaus, an American, commissioned Pininfarina to build him a futuristic homage to the P4, the 612 P4/5. Now, Yoshiyuki Hayashi of Japan has commissioned Zagato to fashion a new take on the 250GTZ berlinetta of the mid-1950s and set it atop the chassis of his Ferrari 575M (teaser image, above). The result will be called the 575GTZ. But whereas the Glickenhaus model will debut in Pebble Beach, the GTZ's coming out will be at the Villa D'Este Concours D'Elegance, Cernobbio, Italy later this month. Advantage: Hayashi. More »
