bmw goes the way of the italians




Previous years saw BMW roll into Cernobbio with such show-stopping concepts as the M1 Hommage and the 328 Hommage, but this year it’s not looking back on its history to draw its inspiration. Instead it’s teamed up with celebrated Italian coachbuilder Zagato of alfa romeo and ferrari fame to dream up the concept you see here.
A rare instance reaching beyond its own design department, the BMW Zagato Coupé is a one-off concept, but is far from a fragile show car. The shape is aerodynamically optimized and the car is fully road registered in Germany, and has already undergone high-speed testing at BMW’s own test facility. The Bavarian automaker remains tight-lipped on its underpinnings and running gear, but the obvious conclusion – whether ultimately correct or not – is that it’s based on the Z4 roadster.
lugosi autosport will have a zagato for viewing thanks to the good people at san diego bmw this July for 2 entire days date to be determined. this is in an effort to allow our clients to preview the zagato before it's available for salek
