Overview edit
In February 2024, the Italian design studio and bodyworks presented its first project under its own Zagato brand since the 1990s. The small-volume vehicle was created on the initiative of the Polish company La Squadra from Katowice, constituting a modern interpretation of the Alpine A220 racing car from 1969, known for its participation in Le Mans series races.[1]
The Alpine A110 sports car was used as the technical basis on which the body was based.[2] At the same time, Zagato has developed a unique styling project focusing on references to the classic A220, depicting widely spaced, oval headlights, as well as extensive air intakes in the hood, bumpers and fenders. A characteristic solution is the variable length of the body, which can be obtained by removing an applied aerodynamically shaped panel.[3] Apart from the manufacturer's markings, there were no changes to the passenger cabin, and Zagato did not interfere with the technical parameters of the 1.8-liter Alpine petrol engine.[4]
Sale edit
The AGTZ Twin Tail was created in a strictly limited series, limited to 19 units. At the time of its premiere, the Italian company declared that the price for the basic copy was EUR 650,000.[5] The project partner, the Katowice dealership group La Squadra, was responsible for the promotional activities and sales of the vehicle.[6]
