At the Salon Rétromobile exhibition in Paris, the Capricorn 01 Zagato made its public debut—a rare supercar that blends German engineering, Italian design, and an American powertrain. The brand's first production model will be limited to just 19 units, with each car priced at €2.95 million, roughly equivalent to $3.5 million.The car was developed by the German company Capricorn, while its exterior design comes from the legendary coachbuilder Zagato. Signature design elements include the iconic double-bubble roof, almond-shaped headlights, gullwing doors, advanced aerodynamics, and a wide rear end with a full-width LED light bar.The example shown in Paris features a vibrant Giallo Sole finish, with an interior trimmed in blue suede and carbon fiber. Inside, the focus is on analog solutions: classic gauges, a manual transmission, a round steering wheel with physical controls, and minimal digital screens. This approach underscores the model's philosophy of pure, driver-focused performance.Power comes from a mid-mounted, supercharged 5.2-liter V8, based on a Ford engine but extensively reworked by Capricorn's engineers. Output exceeds 888 horsepower and 1,000 Nm of torque, sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox. With a dry weight under 1,200 kg, the supercar can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under 3 seconds and reach a top speed of 360 km/h.Capricorn has already built three fully functional prototypes, with a third car currently in production at its facility in Mönchengladbach. Customer deliveries are scheduled to begin by the end of 2026, with very few purchase slots still available.Overall, the Capricorn 01 Zagato stands as a manifesto against digitalization: its mechanical focus, V8 engine, and limited production run make it more than just a supercar—it's a rare collector's item poised to compete with the likes of Ferrari, Pagani, and Koenigsegg.
