Maserati GS Zagato

Fri, 20 Apr 2007

This is a the one-off Maserati GS Zagato commissioned by the entrepreneur Paolo Boffi and due for its public debut at the Concours d'Elegance at the Villa d'Este, Italy on the 20th April, a year after the debut of the Zagato-designed Ferrari 575GTZ.

This Zagato design is based on the platform of the Maserati Spyder which itself is based on a shortened platform of the recently replaced Coupe. The GS consciously evokes the classic Maserati A6 G Zagato of 1954 in its form, and like that design also has an all aluminium body. It has a shorter rear overhang than the standard car it is based on, a hatchback tail, and the classic Zagato 'double bubble' roof.

Zagato state that the GS is: "In homage to the tradition of the gentlemen drivers who asked Zagato to transform the bodywork of their cars... to 'dress' them in tailor-made garments that increase in value as time passes. This is the mission of a modern automobile atelier: to create timeless objects that celebrate prestigious models and brands and which, unlike mass produced vehicles, are destined to last for ever."
