The original DB4GT Zagato was a coupe, and they only built eighteen of them. ICON is teaming with Mr. Spada to create the convertible version history never saw built back in the 1960’s, infused with modern mechanical elements including an AM V12 and a custom Art Morrison chassis. We are honored to work with Mr. Spada and his son, Paolo Spada at Spadaconcept in Turin, Italy, to realize this automotive ICON! More details soon…consider this a tease!
I'll be interested to see what happens. |
As far as the concept design the Rear Tunnel is a detriment to the design. Also the reaar wheel arch and rear end all should be more rounded as in the original design. Voloupous curves like Sophia Lorens were the hallmark of Italian design in the early 60's.
