1990 Ferrari 348 TB Zagato Elaborazione
The Ferrari 348 Zagato Elaborazione was Zagato’s take on the Ferrari 348. On the whole, the 348 is not the most loved Ferrari. Part of this could be due the to Car and Driver cover featuring the 348 next to a GMC Cyclone titled “The $96,000 Sting.” The GMC was .3...
1955 Fiat 8V Zagato
Chassis number 106.000076, This is as elegant a car as you’ll find. While not a double bubble Zagato to many (these eyes included) the look is cleaner and more appealing. Only 26 were ever built, and this one is equipped with a 2.0 liter V8. The Fiat 8V (Ford would...

1990 Ferrari 348TS luggage
We came across some 348 TS luggage for sale on Craigslist in Monterey, California. Although the price seems quite steep, it appears to be a full set of luggage, with the tool set being a part of the package as well. 348's are truly not worth that much money, so paying...
1987 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Zagato
Although this is one of the more controversial Zagato built cars, it is definitely an interesting design if nothing else. These cars were based on the highly desirable V8 Vantage ‘X-Pack’, and came equipped with Aston Martin' 5.3-litre ‘V580X’ Vantage V-8 engine. They...
2012 Aston Martin V12 Zagato “No. 1”

2019 Aston Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake
Some of Zagato’s finest work is up for sale, and we’d argue that the 2019 Vanquish Zagato shooting brake is one of the coolest modern cars you could buy today. It’s futuristic, beautiful, functional, and absolutely cool. This is one of just 99 Zagato shooting brakes...

A Barchetta – pure of line. Elegance and simplicity embodied in aluminum and steel. The Siata 300BC is what students of design long for, a design with no compromises. No door handles or trunk lid to spoil the lines. No convertible top or weather protection to take...

2012 McLaren MP4-12C GT3
Why are some race cars detuned? When we came across this Mclaren we saw that this MP4-12C actually makes only 493 horsepower in race guise, versus around 600 horsepower for the road going version. So we had to look into it, and the reason actually isn't all that...
Pininfarina Momo Steering Wheel
To complement a swoopy, sexy, beautifully designed car, you need a steering wheel of the same order. We think this fits the bill. It is subtle yet stylized in its own way. We're not sure what cars came with this steering wheel from the factory, but the ad claims it is...
