Bentley GTZ Zagato In Geneva

Having had its way with Italian cars, Zagato's coachworks business returned its attentions to a British-German hooligan — the Bentley Continental GT. (Remember the Zagato Aston DB7? Sure you do.) What they came up with is the two-tone Bentley GTZ Zagato we first showed you last week. As is their wont, Zagato made the Bent more curvilinear, with wide arcs where its blocky haunches used to be. No doubt Zagato wants more of this kind of business, but are there enough billionaires for those kinds of shenanigans?

Bentley Zagato GTZ Gets A Premature Unveil Before Geneva

The always embargo-breaking boys at the AutoWeek found only in the Netherlands have come across a couple of shots of the new Bentley Zagato GTZ. That's right, you heard us — the Zagato GTZ. Apparently the Bentley Continental GT wasn't quite ostentatious enough for the Italian tuning shop of Zagato, and like last year they've decided to bring a bit of blingasm with them. What they've come up with is a front fascia screaming "My god, I just ate a chain-link fence!" Supposedly we'll have more info on the GTZ this upcoming weekend. Of course that could just be Babelfish mistranslating again. For the moment you'll just have to feast your eyes on the three shots of this monstrosity of metal below.

Eight-Legged Fraud: Zagato 575 GTZ "Spyder" a Fake

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.

2008 Ferrari 575 GTZ Spyder


Our boy Richard from Supercars.net just got us his scoop from the 2007 Quail Motorsports Gathering — what appears to be a new Spyder that looks like it could be derived from the Ferrari 575 GTZ built for Yushiyuki Hayashi. Richard expects it to be officially revealed at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show. Here's what else Richard's got to say — and here's a high-res shot of the tease: More »

Ferrari's 2006 575 GTZ: Flashback To 1956


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 »

Zagato's Commemorative Ferrari 575 Revealed

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 »

Another Coachbuilt Ferrari: The 575 GTZ

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 »
