Demand for exclusive hypercars commanding several million dollars keeps climbing, and now the storied Italian coachbuilder Zagato is stepping in. Working with engineering firm Capricorn, known for developing the carbon monocoque for the Apollo IE, the brand is preparing its first fully self-developed hypercar.The car will make its debut in October at the Zoute Grand Prix in Belgium. Just 19 examples are planned, each built by hand at Capricorn’s facilities. Production is scheduled to start in the first half of 2026—a limited run that points to deliberate rarity.The standout feature is a set of gullwing doors that instantly frame the car as a future collectible. Judging by the teaser, the design leans into retro cues: rounded, unusually shaped headlights, a tidy front bumper, and a prominent vent in the hood. The mirrors sit far out on the fenders, and the silhouette reads as an elegant counterpoint to today’s aero-heavy hypercars—restrained, but with presence.The interior remains under wraps, but it’s already clear that three classic analog gauges will replace a digital cluster—a nod to the golden era of motorsport. That choice underlines an analog-minded approach aimed at unfiltered, engaging driving, a refreshing stance in a world obsessed with screens.Technical details are still confidential, though the expectation is a marriage of Zagato’s design signature with Capricorn’s engineering prowess. President Andrea Zagato described the project as a turning point in the atelier’s 106-year history and emphasized that it opens a new chapter in crafting collectible cars inspired by both classic cues and the racetrack.
