Remember a few months back when we wrote about the handbuilt BMW Zagato Coupé? Well, in the three months since then, BMW built another one and hacked the roof off of it. Apparently, Adrian van Hooydonk, Director Design BMW Group, and Andrea Zagato decided the response was so good for the coupé that they needed to make…

Keeping a longstanding tradition of unveiling stunning, hand-built one-off cars, the 2012 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este was the showcase for BMW and coachbuider Zagato to show off the new BMW Zagato Coupé. Uninspired name aside, the new coupé looks amazing, incorporating Zagato trademarks like a subtle double-bubble …

Our incessant clamoring for concept cars to become street legal and purchasable occasionally pays off. All the heavy panting for the Aston Marton V12 Zagato Concept has resulted in a production Aston Martin V12 Zagato. One question: did we piss it off somehow?

Specialty car manufacturer and recent Spyker owner Coventry Prototype Panels (CPP) apparently purchased design house Zagato without anyone noticing, according to CarsUK. CPP, of course, is owned by former Saab investor/Russian banker Vladimir Antonov. That guy's involved in everything.

Things you could do 50 years ago: smoke everywhere, drink at work, get elected as a Democrat in the South, and buy a new Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato. In honor of at least one of those things, Aston Martin's paired with design house Zagato to once again build an obnoxiously expensive and lusty race car.

This video of the Zagato TZ3 Stradale — the Viper-based Alfa Romeo tribute that will have a production run of nine vehicles — just goes to prove that wolf whistling at your computer sends the wrong message at the coffee shop.

Imagine you're an Italian designer and someone asks you to futz with the Fiat 500? Muck about at your own peril, some would say. Others would say, pull down the roofline, and park it athwart two ravishing Italian models. Done.
