One of Italy’s most famous design houses is preparing to step into the ultra-exclusive hypercar world. Zagato, known for decades of collaborations with marques like Aston Martin and Alfa Romeo, will reveal its first in-house hypercar next month at the Zoute Grand Prix in Belgium.
The yet-unnamed model marks a milestone for the company, which is working with engineering firm Capricorn, the supplier of the Apollo IE’s carbon-fiber monocoque. Production will be capped at just 19 units, with assembly scheduled to begin in the first half of 2026.
Though details are limited, a teaser image offers a glimpse of the retro-inspired machine. Among the standout features are dramatic gullwing doors, wide-set wing mirrors and a large vent integrated into the hood. Squircle-shaped headlights frame a front fascia that avoids the complex sculpting common among today’s aerodynamically driven hypercars. Instead, the design appears polished, clean and rooted in classic proportions.
Zagato has also leaned heavily into an analogue philosophy. While most new hypercars feature expansive digital clusters, this car will retain traditional round gauges in the cockpit. The result, according to the company, is an emphasis on tactile engagement rather than screen-heavy distraction.
Technical specifications remain under wraps, though executives say the car will adopt an “analogue configuration” and combine Capricorn’s lightweight chassis expertise with Zagato’s century-old design pedigree.
“This project marks a turning point in our 106-year history,” said Andrea Zagato, president of the design house. “It introduces a new segment of collectibles, created to enhance the driving experience beyond both contemporary and classic categories.”
With demand for multimillion-dollar hypercars showing no signs of slowing, Zagato’s first solo effort aims to carve out its own niche — one that bridges retro style with modern exclusivity.
