Zagato-R

019

Our first Zagato-R build is completed and ready to hand over to Gordon Murray! We are very proud to have built one of our R-types for Gordon – not only does he have the most exacting standards, but he is also a true enthusiast & petrolhead and has been keen to push the boundaries with this build. The finished car is truly wonderful, both in its looks and the way it drives. The goal was to create a grown-up Grand Touring car with the highest level of performance combined with superb ride quality, a full suite of creature comforts and trimmed to the very highest standards to make the car practical.
