    BMW Zagato Coupé




Just 40 - 50 years ago it often happened that Northern Italian designers create for motor shows bodies on the undercarriage of mostly even large series cars. Italy has traditionally been the center of the manual work for this sector and the changeover to the self-supporting body had not changed much. So such manufacturer showed
- whereto he was capable technically and artistically,
- what the large series manufacturer perhaps could do with his product.

Only Zagato is still independent ...

For this BMW of Zagato the initiative is obviously made during a meeting between BMW's chief designer van Hooydonk and Zagato bossDr. Andrea Zagato. This is not about to get an order for a development order. This seems to be a unique project at the BMW employees were apparently involved. The result is not presented at a motor show for the first time but at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on Lake Como, where only is permitted a fine selection of classic cars.

Aircraft construction and aerodynamics are the roots of Zagato ...

Although the company Zagato is one of the oldest coachbuilders in Italy, one is used to its always somewhat avant-garde designs. Famous is a certain Alfa from Zagato. Of interest is the connection of the grandson of the company founder with Marella Rivolta, a descendant of the company founder of ISO, from the BMW acquired the license for building the Isetta in the period of reconstruction. Of course this was not the only point of contact of BMW with the North Italian body artists.

Two bulgy volumes in the roof ...

The video below is very interesting because it is trying to show the passion when developing this prototype. This is indeed created in manual work but ready to drive without restrictions, as mostly by Zagato, and is street legal. One also assures it is from the security features fully compliant, e.g. for crashworthiness and pedestrian protection. The company is also able to produce small series.

Zagato works with the design teams of the clients ...

To see in the side view of the car thanks to the long hood the Z4-origin is not difficult. But the rear effects traditional Zagato cut off. Whether in this body as claimed, the Kamm theories are especially provable, one should have to know at least the cW value. It is pleasant, that visible spoilers are not necessary.

A coupe that does not miss the Spider ...

Do not let act the rear too long on you or use it even as a screen background, you could be fall in love therein. Refreshingly, that one here at all can not see an example. Significant artworks not only please at the first glance. If you think you have seen and understood the rear, there are still many details that it just perfects.

19-inch rims in satin gloss ...

Through the glass-coating the rear apparently consists up to the diffuser of only two surfaces. But under the glass was created an own structure for the Zagato logo. What an idea to place the rear lights also behind the glass. In any case, this one knows barely else of sports cars. And then, against the calm structure of the two upper surfaces to place below these variety of forms and materials.

From black to light red, depending on light conditions ...

How exciting however are opposites. The air scoops on the sides, up into the doors which connect to the relatively unexciting front and then this fascinating rear. That's a diffuser with chrome number plate border, extra lights and bead in the black part. If one has seen anything like that? If anything, here fit the unusually shaped ends of the exhaust.

Gray of the tinted glass continues in the interior ...

As I said, do not fall in love. You will never be able to realize your dream. BMW, the car no more will give out of hand, not even for several hundred thousand euros. As bad it can not go with BMW, that you would have a chance. And at present BMW, thanks to North America and China, it is well excellent ... 05/12

Red decorative stitching in the light and dark gray leather
