Zagato has presented its latest one-off special, the Maserati GS Zagato, commissioned by an Italian collector and based on the GS Spyder. It is inspired by the 1954 Maserati A6G Z and will debut at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este.
Ателье Zagato пошило очередной неординарный костюмчик.
На ежегодном конкурсе автомобильной красоты в Villa d`Este в Италии ателье Zagato покажет вариант кузова для Maserati GranSport Spyder. Модель GS Zagato шлет привет автомобилям середины прошлого века, в частности Maserati A6G Zagato 1954 года, одному из самых желанных объектов для коллекционеров. Полностью алюминиевый кузов установлен на укороченное (минус 180 мм) шасси Maserati. Ажиотаж вокруг новинки Zagato подогревается отсутствием фотографий передка автомобиля. Оценить это произведение искусства в полной мере можно будет после 22 апреля, когда финиширует конкурс в Villa d`Este.
In 2007, at the request of Maserati’s CEO Karl-Heinz Kalbfell, Zagato prepared a V-Max Concept (prototype prepared and capable of reaching its maximum speed) as a preview of an imminent, limited series.
To create this model, the Milanese atelier had chosen the mechanics of the Spyder 4.2 with a shorter wheelbase of 180 mm, with respect to the coupé, in the same way that had been done for the Karif. Born in the Neoclassic automotive era, which was developed by Zagato in the first decade of the New Millennium, the GS Zagato was designed through virtual reality modeling and handmade with sheets of aluminum on a master model (on a scale of 1:1).
This is the approach of a modern atelier, using the latest design technology and expert craftmanship for the process of construction.
The change in Maserati’s management prevented the production of this model, which would have married the performance of Ferrari’s eight cylinders to a lightweight, short-wheelbase and compact body in the best tradition of the two brands.
