that is nice!

 

BTW. Can't see that being worth $1.6 million.

 

+1

+1.6M.


Onno

 

For $1.6M, you could have Zagato design and build another one-off on a 550 or 575 chassis.

Not that I'm in the market but...really?

 

Richard,

Is this photoshop-image from supercars which had been replaced by an Zagato 575 Coupe?

P.S. would you be able to enter this one in the 2011 MM Ferrari tribute ?

 

RHD chassis no. N9 sold at Bonhams for only £353,500 inclusive of Buyer's Premium. It's interesting why so small price? The price of the new 550 GTZ was over 1,5 million dollars as I remember

 

The took their time to build this car.

And they say that building a 550 GTZ should take 'only' 5 months:

I also wondered about the fact if there are 3 of 5 550 GTZ's build. But I guess there are only three. Why?
They refer to this car as "Chassis no. N9". So I guess N1-N6 are the six 575 GTZ's and then there are 3 550 GTZ's build (USA, Canada & UK). Also they say that this is the last GTZ build:

 

But it's only RHD 550 GTZ. So it's very rare car. And only £353,500...

 

i love the zagato bodied 550/575s... i just kick myself for not going to that cars and coffee!! that is one of my favorite cars...

and 353 for a zagato body... that sounds CHEAP. I can only imagine what this car will be worth in the future.

 

reminds me a bit of the z8

 

Photos you say. OK, here you go. From Chelsea Sept 2010. Thanks to Sy for letting me use.
Guide price was £800,000 to £1,200,000. Someone took a bath at £353k.
The one in the photos was the only RHD made. The other 5 were LHD.
Neither Zagato or Bertone styling is to my taste. Much prefer PininFarina

No way, Z8's are pretty. This looks like a TVR.

 

Here's a short video we did on the day.

Thanks for posting this. Interesting answer to the question you asked about what engine it had in it!

 

For 1.6m you can buy a Pagani Zonda F roadster and still have change to buy a 550 Maranello...

Sorry, the Zagato Maranello's are nothing short of hideous unfortunately (but then, improving upon perfection is fairly hard!).

 

well.....?

 

I don't know if someone could call this beautiful car but it's a rare car for sure.

 

I've never been a huge fan of the Zagato cars. I don't find them to be ugly, I just think the price isn't justified. What is the market for this car today? Still crazy money?
