Andrea Zagato
helm of a company with 100 years of
The shapes of history
remarkable history.
“
We celebrated our 100th anniversary by showing how consistency in design in the pursuit of performance has been a constant feature throughout the history of Zagato. For this reason, faced with the challenge of creating a simulator capable of transmitting the reality of the past in which our cars won so much, we followed the most traditional of approaches: function and lightness. We did it with the desire to show our construction techniques by drawing inspiration from the “iron wires” created to give form to the car, which was subsequently clothed in aluminium. We know we have accomplished something unexpected. But it is precisely for this reason that our simulator transforms into a cultured message that gives design its true meaning. In other words, there is nothing that is not necessary and what there is there truly expresses the design knowledge of our company. I had a lot of fun, and even got excited, when I started “driving history” behind the wheel of our simulator. I am sure that same fun and excitement will be experienced by all those who want to own one for themselves. Then, in the challenges that await us as eClassic Racing Club members, may the best car win! 50 PAST & FUTURE
