Leica Adopting the typical “Milanese” design language, has a long history of focusing on perception and Zagato applied rationalism and functionalism to has developed innovative instruments that offer obtain maximum lightness and aerodynamics in a unique experience. The result is a renowned comparison with the bulky and heavy structures series of cameras and lenses, and a superb of the period.

E a volte è possibile stabilire un contatto con l’osservatore usando l’ironia e lo humor per esprimere la bellezza.” You can appreciate the beauty not only with sight but also with touch, hearing and smell, besides of course the mind.

    .PRESTIGE .ENERGY .ELEGANCE .HERITAGE .PASSION the Idea Zagato’s Tribute to IsoRivolta is dedicated to the glorious model Grifo A3 Corsa and intends to reawaken this track car that was successful in the races in the 60’s, matching perfectly with the centenary Zagato DNA. the History In the early 1950s Iso had already an established strong reputation in lightweight motorcycles and motorscooters. Then founder Renzo Rivolta decided to enter into the GT cars world. After incredible success at Italy’s famed 1000-mile Mille Miglia race with Isetta winning the trophy from 1953 to 1955, IsoRivolta returned to competition in the 1960s to promote its GT cars. The most famous racer was the Grifo A3 Corsa. Its coachwork was much more radical than its street counterparts, with an engine set so far back in the bay that it was a true front mid-engine design. This model participated in races all over the world including Sebring, Reims, Montlhery, Monza, Spa and the Austrian Grand Prix, among others and won in its class at Le Mans in 1964 and 1965. In 1965 the street legal version of A3/C was designed and made by IsoRivolta having Johnny Hallyday as a very special Client. the Inspirational design The Grifo A3/C is a bare bones racecar, with a highly sensuous form language, subsequently used on other famous cars.

  • Lancia Appia Berlina 3Rd Series 1962
    Lancia Appia Berlina 3rd series 1962 Galerie +32 (0)53 63 12 33 www.marreyt.com [email protected] Let's jump back in time, to the fifties and sixties: many Italian families Marque Lancia can finally fulfill their dream of owning a car. While the Fiat 1100 successfully covers the basic needs, and the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Modèle Appia Berlina 3rd series appeals to those with a "sporting heart", the Lancia Appia is without a doubt the thinking man's choice. Launched in 1953, the Lancia Appia Année de construction 1962 combines the advanced technology that Lancia has accumulated over the years, with the refined styling of its big sister, the Lancia Volant Gauche (LHD) Aurelia. It combines the space of a family car with the road-handling of a compact car. It combines high-end design and manufacturing with a reasonable budget and maintenance costs. A very accomplished car, the Appia is a true engineering tour de force. With the third series, launched in 1959, comes a "facelift": the traditional Lancia grille is replaced with a horizontal grille in the style of the Lancia Flaminia. The car's narrow angle V4 engine is also uprated to 48hp, bringing the top speed to 132 km/h. This particular 3rd series Appia Berlina has been hand-picked by our Italian friend and Lancia Appia connoisseur Matteo. Active for many years in the Lancia Appia club, he can recognize a valuable Appia from a mile away. He has chosen this particular car for its healthy and very original condition. Just looking at the perfect closing lines of the doors on this pillarless saloon, one immediately understands that the bodywork is in excellent condition.

  • CORROZZERIA ZAGATO: CARS of the "LIGHTNING Z" HONORED at the 19TH ANNUAL AMELIA CONCOURS D'elegance"
    Event Information Tickets Visitors Guide Charity Sponsors News & Media Gall ery CORROZZERIA ZAGATO: CARS OF THE "LIGHTNING Z" HONORED AT THE 19TH ANNUAL AMELIA CONCOURS d'ELEGANCE" Photo by Michael Furman The cars wearing Zagato's "lightning Z" badge have become classics and icons. On March 9, 2014 the 19th annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance will honor the brilliance and creativity of Ugo Zagato and his heirs with a class of Zagato-bodied cars from the likes of Ferrari, Maserati, Bugatti, Alfa Romeo, Abarth, Hispano-Suiza, FIAT, Rolls-Royce, Lancia, Lamborghini, MG, Bentley, Porsche, Spyker and even British supercar builder Aston Martin, for whom Zagato created their masterpiece, the landmark DB4 GT Zagato. "The most beautiful car is the one that wins," said Enzo Ferrari. As leader of Alfa Romeo's racing department during the 1930s, Enzo Ferrari saw fleets of Alfa Romeo racers wearing Zagato's functional and beautiful coachwork win scores of legendary road races. Sons Elio and Gianni Zagato instantly grasped their father's elegant and simple philosophy; "When we design and build something functional, it is always beautiful." Ugo Zagato signed his work with justifiable pride. His "lightning Z" badge still rides on the flanks of many of the world's most exotic, desirable, successful, beautiful and fast cars.
