It takes approximately 2,000 man-hours to build each model and the car’s hood, roof and doors are constructed from aluminum. The fenders, door sills and boot lid surround are made from carbon fiber. Inside, the cabin has semi-aniline leather seats, carbon fiber trim and piano black accents. There’s also Zagato badging and a hand-stitched weave pattern on the seats, doors and headliner.

Specifications were not released, but the company’s brochure says the model has a 6.0-liter V12 engine with 510 bhp (380 kW / 517 PS) and 570 Nm (420 lb-ft) of torque. It is connected to a six-speed manual transmission which enables the 1680 kg (3704 lb) car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds and hit a top speed of 305 km/h (190 mph). The V12 Zagato is currently on sale and pricing starts at £330,000. Production will be limited to 150 units and first deliveries are scheduled for later this year.
