This is an odeThe golden age of coachbuilders, elegant lines and beautiful mechanics. When production was not standardized as we know it today. The builders provided the base, sometimes the platform and the four wheels, and these specialists in design and ingenuity did the rest. BertoneItaldesign, Fissore, Zagato their creations were unique and unusual. But with large-scale industrial production, these crafts of past years were endangered or even extinct. Fortunately, there are still a few die-hards left! Zagato is one of them, and Italian coachbuilder since its creation in 1919, it has not stopped offering legendary models! He has collaborated in particular with Alfa Romeo from 1929, with the 6C 1500. Later 1900, Giulietta and Giulia, until the last SZ in 1989 or TZ3 in 2011!

Tribute to the Zagato SZ and RZ

Today, the bodybuilder puts the small plates on the big plates, once again collaborating with the Milanese manufacturer. The model was teased in the press for several weeks. But until now we only knew his name: Giulia SWB Zagato. Now we know his build and build! This long-awaited Giulia-based creation takes the form of a cut into a short frame (SWB stands for Short Wheelbase, i.e. shortened wheelbase). The rift with his organ donor is complete, the wise sedan gave way sporty silhouette, sublimely magnified smooth lines and very proportional. Alfa Romeo and Zagato follow this path a tribute to the SZ and RZ serieswith a much more controversial design for the time.

Under the hood is placed a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 with a capacity of 540 hpthe same as equippingAlfa Romeo Giulia GTAm ! However, the coupe ditches the automatic transmission in favor of a six-speed manual transmission. Let’s talk about the unpleasant stuff now. This Giulia SWB Zagato is about to happen is produced only at only one copy ! It was designed exclusively by Zagato for a lucky (and possibly very rich) Alfa Romeo customer. A point of sale in small series is planned. As is often the case with these highly confidential creations, you just have to know how to enjoy the show. And what a sight!
