got this off netcarsh0w, so no small pictures...:)


The Maserati GS Zagato, like its celebrated ancestor, has all-aluminium bodywork and bears the Trident on the bonnet and the Z on the wing, expressing eternal Italian excellence in its shape and its content. A winning combination that matches powerful and reliable mechanics, with an elegant and and sports style, both rigorously Made in Italy.
For purists of the compact coupé, afficionados of the Milano-based brand, it is a two-volume, two-seater, hatchback with a streamlined profile and a neat tail. The wheelbase is 180mm shorter, a spin-off from the Spyder, provides excellent handling and stability on curves, with extraordinary torsional rigidity.
In homage to the tradition of the gentlemen drivers who asked Zagato to transform the bodywork of their cars, modern collectors choose mechanics at the top level of technical evolution and 'dress' them in tailor-made garments that increase in value as time passes.
This is the mission of a modern automobile atelier: to create timeless objects that celebrate prestigious models and brands and which, unlike mass produced vehicles, are destined to last for ever.
Zagato, born in 1919 as an atelier for automobiles and planes, has put its signature on all the most important mechanics of the last century, earning the opportunity to create, every time, an "instant classic".
Zagato's strengths lie in the concept of sports-style elegance, a functional design that does not bow to momentary fashions but seeks out the excitement and pleasure of driving, and in the precious aluminium bodywork, a value recognised everywhere.

I was just gonna make a thread of it, you beat me do it.

Intresting fact that there is only one made, for an italian businessman I think. If you talk about exclusive

Wow thats hot. It will probably have the 4.2 V8 from the Gransport me thinks. I think it looks very sophisticated. Wonder if the interior is any good...

It's ugly, well most of it, the back is really not good, it's too much of a 'lump'! Maserati's are strange cars, some look great and some just don't, then again, Zagato are known for some strange looking cars so I guess it fits!

ALthough I'm a Maserati fan I'm not really feeling the rear of the car

I reckon it looks quite good. If I had the spondoolies I'd probably be getting myself one of those, just to be unique. I tend not to like 'mainstream' stuff, and this is not mainstream, it's perfect for the enthusiast. Looks great, even though from some angles it doesn't have the beauty of say, the GranTurismo or the GranSport, but overall I reckon a timeless design.

From the front, it almost looks like the last-gen Jag XK. Strange.

man, that's hot! i love Maserati's new grilles, they're awsome!

i'm thinking it'll showcase Maserati's new 450bhp 4.7-litre V8 (as seen in the Alfa 8C).

it looks okay, but it does look pretty ugly, but it is very sexy though, hell, zagato makes all the cars all the same, i mean, look at the ferrari KR posted, it has the same window design as in the maserati...it looks okay
the front looks very sexy, i like it, but it somehow reminds me of the Fiat Coupe, i dont know why, but it just gave me the feeling of it..

looks good, very conceptish and classy. headlights totally remind me of the ferrari 599GTB, no question... taillights look good, im usually on about taillights... looks quite bland though, a bit more design features would have been better.

This car just screams out ugly to me, ugly, ugly, ugly. It looks like a bloated puffer fish. The rear looks like a hatchback and the taillights look like the headlights. As for the front, it looks like it's mouth is open ready for a large dinner.:D It also looks like it has fat cheeks....

i think it looks good, as i'm sure all fo you would if you saw it in person. even though i haven't.

but i think it's good looking. and, seeing as how it's a lot smaller than a GranSport, it will most definitely be faster and more agile.

It looks soft on the front. But on the back, it looks like something inspired by hell.....
