Discover the Ultra-Rare AGTZ Twin Tail: Zagato's Stunning Tribute to the Legend of Le Mans

When the worlds of iconic motorsport history and modern engineering collide, the result is nothing short of spectacular. This is precisely the case with Italian design maestro Zagato's latest masterpiece – the AGTZ Twin Tail. Crafted as a loving nod to the legendary Alpine A220, a fierce competitor at the Le Mans in the tumultuous late 60s, the AGTZ Twin Tail is a mesmerizing blend of history, design, and performance.

In an audacious move, Zagato has reimagined the Alpine A110 sports car, giving it a long, flowing tail reminiscent of the Le Mans racer, successfully bridging six decades of automotive evolution. However, the AGTZ Twin Tail stands apart by offering a transformative feature - the ability to switch from its elongated tail design to a more compact, daily-use version.

At first glance, the AGTZ Twin Tail mesmerizes with its neo-retro aesthetics, echoing the Alpine A220's silhouette, yet innovatively integrating modern touches. Cloaked in a retro livery, including the French tricolore gracing its rear, it's a sight that commands attention and admiration.

Under the bonnet, the AGTZ Twin Tail roars to life with a 1.8-liter, 4-cylinder turbo-petrol engine, unleashing 249 horsepower. Paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission powering the rear wheels, it sprints from 0-62 mph in a mere 4.5 seconds. Despite its nostalgic influences, the AGTZ Twin Tail promises to deliver a thrilling, contemporary driving experience.

Zagato has announced an exclusive production run of just 19 examples of the AGTZ Twin Tail, each with a base price of €650,000. For enthusiasts and collectors, this limited edition represents a unique opportunity to own a piece of automotive art that melds historical homage with cutting-edge technology. The AGTZ Twin Tail is set to make its grand debut at the prestigious 2024 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, where it's anticipated to be one of the stars of the show.

With its striking design, transformative versatility, and robust performance, the AGTZ Twin Tail by Zagato is not just a car. It's a tribute, a collectible, and a testament to the timeless allure of motorsports. For those lucky enough to witness it or, better yet, drive it, the AGTZ Twin Tail offers a rare chance to experience the pinnacle of automotive design and heritage.

As the automotive world eagerly awaits its unveiling, the AGTZ Twin Tail stands as a symbol of Zagato's continuing legacy of innovation and elegance, proving once again that the spirit of Le Mans lives on.
