Zagato has announced its intention to build a new car. It will be called the IsoRivolta GTZ, and it will be very, very lovely. At least according to these images.

It’s a tribute to the gorgeous Iso A3/C from 1963, and like that car will feature a big, American heart. Specifically, the supercharged V8 heart from a Corvette Z06, though here it’s been pumped up from 6.2-litres to 6.8-litres. Power? There will be lots, we just don’t know how much yet.

Zagato tells us that Sixties-inspired ‘neo-classic’ body will be fashioned entirely from carbon fibre, featuring that supercharged V8, and built in very limited numbers. Only 19 will be made, and nine cars have already been sold.

“Car collectors are at the soul of the project,” explains Zagato. Further details on this GTZ will be announced in October this year, when the company plans on delivering the very first model from the run.

Can’t wait.
