One year after the presentation of the Ferrari 575GTZ, Zagato returns to
Villa d’Este with a world preview for fans of Italian sports sedans: the 400HP
Maserati GS Zagato.
In the most classic traditions of exclusive collections that inspired
the creativity of car designers in the '50s and '60s, Paolo Boffi,
well-known entrepreneur in the furnishing and luxury design sector, has
commissioned from Zagato a customised look for his Maserati GS Spyder.
Zagato proposes a line that evoked the historical Maserati A6 G Zagato
of 1954: one of the most beautiful Italian sedans ever built, and
nowadays at the top of every collector’s wish list.
The Maserati GS Zagato, like its celebrated ancestor, has all-aluminium
bodywork and bears the Trident on the bonnet and the Z on the wing,
expressing eternal Italian excellence in its shape and its content. A
winning combination that matches powerful and reliable mechanics, with
an elegant and and sports style, both rigorously Made in Italy.
For purists of the compact coupé, afficionados of the Milano-based
brand, it is a two-volume, two-seater, hatchback with a streamlined
profile and a neat tail.
The wheelbase is 180mm shorter, a spin-off from the Spyder, provides
excellent handling and stability on curves, with extraordinary torsional
rigidity.
In homage to the tradition of the gentlemen drivers who asked Zagato to
transform the bodywork of their cars, modern collectors choose mechanics
at the top level of technical evolution and ‘dress’ them in tailor-made
garments that increase in value as time passes.
This is the mission of a modern automobile atelier: to create timeless
objects that celebrate prestigious models and brands and which, unlike
mass produced vehicles, are destined to last for ever.
Zagato, born in 1919 as an atelier for automobiles and planes, has put
its signature on all the most important mechanics of the last century,
earning the opportunity to create, every time, an “instant classic”.
Zagato’s strengths lie in the concept of sports-style elegance, a
functional design that does not bow to momentary fashions but seeks out
the excitement and pleasure of driving, and in the precious aluminium
bodywork, a value recognised everywhere.
