[Auto] Zagato IsoRivolta GTZ: Italian beauty moved by an American heart

[#Steeven.™]

Many of you may not remember the legendary Iso Rivolta brand. This small vehicle manufacturer, with an Italian passport, remained in business between 1953 and 1978 of the last century. Its main activity was focused on scooters and two-stroke motorcycles. However, over the years and the evolution of the sector, it began to develop and manufacture luxury sports cars that were very well received in the market.

However, the model that catapulted them to world fame was the po[CENSORED]r Isetta. Yes, the same one that BMW sold in Germany and that was also available in France under the Velam banner or Brazil with Romi. However, one of the models that represented a before and after in the brand was the Iso A3 / C of the 1960s. Now comes the Zagato IsoRivolta GTZ, a modern reinterpretation of this mythical model.

Zagato IsoRivolta GTZ production will be limited to 19 units

On an aesthetic level, the Zagato IsoRivolta GTZ perfectly combines the lines of the classic model with other more modern ones. We can appreciate them in the integration of the alloy wheels or the rear diffuser format. All in all, it maintains the proportions of classic sports cars, with a long front hood and a very short and powerful rear overhang. However, its stamp is sporty and powerful thanks to its optical groups or air intakes.

For now the technical details of the Zagato IsoRivolta GTZ are very limited. However, its creator points out that it will have a chassis made entirely of carbon fiber. Regarding its technical approach, Zagato has remained faithful to the dictates of the brand. That is, under its hood we find a V8 inherited from Chevrolet. Specifically, it is the same unit that the Corvette Z06 mounts and that offers a displacement of 6.8 liters.

The presentation of this modern classic will take place next October. It will be then when we have all, or almost all, its details. For now, a production of 19 units is planned, although 9 would have already been sold. We will have to be attentive to the possible novelties that come from Zagato, because we are sure that this model will raise passions. Of course, if you want one, be very attentive, because cheap, what is said cheap, will not be.
