This is possibly the coolest new car I've ever seen.

Personally, I think this is just about the prettiest new car I've ever seen. I realize that it's not a production car. But this just really does it for me. Cool story too. I wish there was money to build more cars like this. :-)

Please post more if anyone is aware of similar cars!

I have never had a taste for Zagato's designs.

Not even this?

Same color as your car man!

They've kind of got a Porsche thing going on, not much revolution in their designs, not that it's a bad thing but come on...





Edit: I'll admit that the double bubble is charming though.

It kind of looks Bentley-esque from some angles, Aston-esque from some angles, and then Ferrari-esque from others. It really doesn't work as a coherent whole to me - it looks kind of patched together, and I don't like the final look very much. I think the 575 as delivered from the Ferrari factory looks much better, personally:

"The taillights look like headlights!"

More recently, the Perana Z-One (aka AC 378 GT Zagato) is an interesting creation.

Anybody remember the Lamborghini Raptor? Loved that thing! Another remarkable Zagato design.

This Ferrari just doesn't do anything for me.

I like the Alpha better.

Never have liked tan interiors. Ferrari's tan has a nicer look than Porsche's version but they both suck. Opinions vary...

Edit: Just noticed your list of cars. I used to have a 124 Sport Coupe. It was a charming, fun to drive, rust bucket!
