The BMW Zagato Coupé




BMW and Zagato have collaborated to develop a once-off, hand built dream coupé, The BMW Zagato Coupé. The BMW Zagato was unveiled at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa fd'Este classic car show held on the pretty banks of Lake Como.

The BMW Zagato is built from aluminium and was constructed entirely by hand. BMW remains tight lipped regarding what lies beneath the hood but has guaranteed speed and power from the BMW Zagato. Much like the BMW Z4, the BMW Zagato Coupé sports a long bonnet with circular headlights, double kidney grille, ‘double bubble’ roof and a ‘Kamm Tail’ rear end.

In appearance, the BMW Zagato Coupé takes on a very strong feel, very much like a Staffie ready to pounce, thanks to its five-spoke 19” alloys. The paint job is rather unique too, which seems to take on different colours in different lighting. It’s not an illusion, it’s just because the paint job consists of a layer of primer followed by metallic silver coated with six thin layers of red paint followed by two layers of clear coat, giving it a strange allure. The BMW Zagato Coupé certainly is a fresh design but don’t get your hopes up of owning it. Do you like the BMW Zagato Coupé?
