Zagato Teases Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa

The revival of coachbuilding is upon us, and Zagato, a favorite in the previous heyday of coachbuilding, is leading the charge.

Manufacturers are even beginning to work with the companies again, like Bentley did with the recent Flying Star shooting brake, built by Italian coachbuilding firm Carrozia Touring Superleggera. Now Alfa Romeo is announcing a new model, based on a certain Alfa Romeo.

Can you guess which one? We can - the 8C Competizione. It looks like the 8C from this top down teaser view that Zagato provided. Topping the 8C Competizione in the styling department is going to be hard - near impossible. It is just strikingly beautiful Italian design at its finest. While styling might not be able to be topped, performance can.

As such, Zagato says the Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa is a race car, made to honor "the 100th anniversary of Alfa Romeo's racing Heritage." The TZ3 Corsa is based on a mono-shell carbon fiber tubular chassis, coupled with a tubular frame and a lightweight aluminium body. Sounds fun!

Zagato is preparing to launch the TZ3 Corsa at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este show. The show starts on April 23-25th.
