Does anyone know anything about what happened/will happen with this car? I love Zagato so it looks pretty sexy to me...

 

hopefully it was crushed.

 

I like the lines of it, minus the wholes in the fenders and wheels... The wheels like like Mercedes CLS 5-spokes.

 

Last I saw it, Symbolic Motos in La Jolla had it on their floor, this was in the end of '06.

 

There are four known 575 GTZ serial numbers, five known existing cars, and a rumor that Zagato built a total of six. Here are some pictures, none of which are mine.

 

i kinda like it, goes hand in hand with zagato design
original is still sexier

 

this angle looks aggressive

 

Hello guys, this is my first post. I've seen lots of you guys from 6speed and ***. I've been surfing the 6, *** and TS for a long time. Feels like i know lots of you guys, although i've never posted anything.

Anyways, back to the 575 GTZ topic. I've seen one locally in San Francisco driving around the BMC dealership. I've talked to one of the guy at BMC, but he wouldnt tell me anymore info about it. its a silver one with white top, however i am not sure if it was a coupe or convertible. If i remember correctly zagato was planning on building a few convertible versions. Sorry no pictures.. wasnt anywhere close enough to the car to take a picture.

 

Very interesting. As per Dr. Paolo di Taranto of Zagato, six cars were built. But because Andrea Zagato made nine Bentley Zagatos, there's a rumor that nine GTZs were made. Andrea's reasons for making nine Bentleys are below:

"Two reasons. Our company was formed in 1919 and there is some symmetry to making nine cars. I could have done one, maybe 19 like the Aston Martin DB4 GTZ, but 1919 cars was out of the question. I like the number nine.
Secondly under European law, nine is classified as a multiple of artwork. A painter can produce a piece of art and do nine multiples but they are legally considered to be nine one-offs. We're not just building cars here - we're building art"

 

i like that zagato actually built afew of these, rather than just one for show. pretty cool...thanks for the info. it looks like the pic of the one on the street with the AZ plate was taken in carmel...another reason to get up to pebble beach!
