Three Automotive Names for me standout. Aston Martin, Lancia and Zagato. Zagato have designed some of the Most Beautiful Lancia and Aston Martins, ever made.
Very cool design from Zagato! Maybe next time we will see a car that can actively change its shape between long tail and short tail without removing parts. Essentially a production version of what Mercedes did on that IAA concept.
100% agree. I’m not very familiar with Zagato works but from what was shown in the video, their designs might be an acquired taste? Reminds me of when you see a supermodel on a runway wearing ridiculous clothes because of some loony designers ideas.
@@BPBomber They used to make world class, beautiful stuff...but one glance at their "current" designer and you can see taste/style/class are not high on the priority list.
@@kentbeitel9966I pray? music? they were eating tiramassu? It came to Italy vi'a Poland "in the hill cries" must have not had enough LSD that day uh, it still looks sh!t.
I think they could've done a better job with that side fender vent. It looks way too angular for a car that's supposed to be as slippery as possible at speed.
Fun fact:- Zagato is named for Ugo Zagato a famous Automotive designer, active during the first halfof the 20th century, but is also Italian for "As UGLY as possible"

The interview with the head designer is exactly how I would've expected an interview with a head designer to go
clarkson was right about how car designers look
I forgot exactly what Clarkson said, but I imagine it was more entertaining that this entire video.
Not all of us.
Not all designers, I mean its French.
@@wiryantirta Zagato is Italian and their chief designer is Japanese 🙄
@@etbadaboum referring to the Alpine, the car its based on
Yo, that Chief Designer looks extra-terrestrial lol
Just like his car. Ugly as sin! Not that the A110 was much of a looker to begin with.
Lmfao
Apparently they eating Tirnassu while they brain stormed- they must have poored the whole bloody bottle in mate.
@@Squashed8Ball Hell nah, this car looks gorgeous. The front end is classic
Is that designer dressed like a pirate? I don't know why, but I'm a all for it?
No, he is dressed like a rich italian woman.
He's probably confused, being from Japan, and also probably in his own world from time to time
@@tclcstudio4070 Could be. But now I need lunch Lexus ES 350 redesigned by an ship's captain
I thought he dressed like a matador
You kinda need to be the chief. The head of your department, to be able to show up to work like that and keep your job.
😂
Such a beautiful car. I love that there are still coach builders creating such sculptures.
The designer is a genius, the road version back end is something car manufacturers should've been doing decades ago.
It's horrible looking IMO. Big, bulky and ugly.
4:01 if Jack Sparrow was in Shogun......
That alpine a220 is so good looking car
Not worth 650k though
That Chief Designer 😂😂😂😂
gay as they come
All the cars in that garage are just stunning🙌🏾
Why is this giving me such Burnout vibes, especially without the longtail?
I was JUST WONDERING if you wanted to smoke weed, fill our bellies with DIET SODA & play BURNOUT REVENGE ON THE P S TWOOOOO???
@@BDMZ404GET OUT OF MY HEAD
@@TheImperfectGuy NOOO
Oh Harada , what have you done to yourself..
you have before pictures of him?
Appreciate all the time, effort and skill that went into it, but it just doesn't look good to my eye
Doesn't fit the wheelbase
I think the front is good (though the livery maybe doesn't do it any favours) but personally I'm not a fan of longtails generally in terms of looks.
Zagato is just notoriously weird most of the time compared to other design houses
Side profile gives-off some Jag’ XJ220 vibes, especially with those wheels…
8:23 : Oh look , its an Alpine giving birth to a middle aged man !
Those Alpine’s look beautiful 😍
I love Zagato designs.
Needs to be lower
Once I read this I just couldn’t ignore that! It feels a bit weird almost at times
Rides like a rally car while having a Le Mans body bizarre design choices 💀
Maybe it’s lifted on purpose to get it in the gallery
…priced!
Original A110 was a rally car.
@@Skooma_Addict42
The head designer explains everything about twin tail concepts.
One of my favs by Zagato, the Alfa TZ3 Stradale Zagato. That V10 sounds so good
So glad the Top Gear have got Wookie doing his videos. Instant watch, was always a fav presenter in the Fifth Gear days
That A220 Race Car is stunning
Norihiko really took the "Head Designer" title to heart.
Speed racer is alive and finally available for day to day driving.
Is that the pen pineapple apple pen guy?
0:41 I'd take that DB4 any day of the week. One of the best looking cars ever made.
If I have a number of cars and the money I would definitely have one in my collection. Looks smart.
What's happening at 08:59? Is water leaking in?? 😮
Could someone enlighten me about the blue car in the first shots? It is absolutely beautiful!!

Didn’t know Ricky Gervais was into cars?
Great car. I would buy one of these.

This car is art.
Why did you cut short?
I'm waiting for someone to point out the middle finger 👀🤣🤣 7:10
I think you already have ..... what they didn't include is him sniffing his finger afterwards ......
Wookie is by far the best, and most informed presenter/motoring journalist on TG right now.
Fantastic design and backstory!
What an awesome build and another great video Tom, keep up the great work and when are you getting one :)
Rims are siiiick 👌🏽
Zapato and Aston Martin *chefs kiss*
Poland mentioned
It looks quite smart actually.
real life thunderbirds baddie right there , hes just missing a few strings
I dont think many people will agree with me but I prefer the looks of the basic a110 haha
For the price absolutely
now THAT'S worth collecting
I love Zagatos of the past...but...what kind of glue where they sniffing when they hired the Chief Designer???
the car on the right 4:46 is way nicer than the new one ✌️
This is a very cool good looking car.
Happy Friday
Harada... very unusual Japanese looking man 👨
I love the A110...but that's pretty ugly. I'll take the standard one for, what...1/7th to 1/13th the price of this?
100% agree. I’m not very familiar with Zagato works but from what was shown in the video, their designs might be an acquired taste? Reminds me of when you see a supermodel on a runway wearing ridiculous clothes because of some loony designers ideas.

I think it needs a little more width to balance out the length
Looks like it'd be pretty fuel efficient!
These guys should really do a gen2 Viper coupe.
"mom i want a mclaren speedtail"
"we have a mclaren speedtail at home"
Without the tail on it has a very similar shape from memory to the Marussia B2
Wow the short version looks like a Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech
I want those wheels for my 86👌🏾
So what happens to the exhaust when youre idling with the long tail on?
The long tail has a gap to let fumes flow normally
The designer looks like a villain from a video game 😂
someone give that designer a gluten-free, ethically-sourced sandwich!
He had way to much of these! Give him a proper bolognese stew, at least stirred 5 hours or longer... Looks like he has lacked real meat for decades!
4:16 playing music...
That gestures were wild 😂😳
muscle memory is a bitch
@@kentbeitel9966I pray? music? they were eating tiramassu? It came to Italy vi'a Poland "in the hill cries" must have not had enough LSD that day uh, it still looks sh!t.
All it needs now is a V8 and manual box.
yeah, supercar looks and gets smoked on the highway.
Love that designer's clothes
Zagato always makes some interesting stuff
so what is the top speed?
These cars are worth as what they are is because it’s custom hand built and they use the best materials .
I like it!!
Beautiful
Even the logos look similar, they could have encorporated them together cleverly somehow.
My dad calls them felt tip fairies 🧚♂️ 😂😂😂😂
❤❤❤❤very interesting video and
4:40 TZ2 drawings by ERCOLE SPADA
Sorta looks like a newer version of Richard Petty's Superbird. 🤔
How much!!!
The car that requires middle finger to unlock door.
I think they could've done a better job with that side fender vent. It looks way too angular for a car that's supposed to be as slippery as possible at speed.
What does it weigh
Tom, how tall are you? Just curious if you might be able to fit in a different Le Mans-inspired sports car 👀
I like the front view. Not sure about the back.
I’d take this, sell it and buy an A110 and keep the change.
All that effort into the styling only for it to look extra weird.
Zagato have re dressed some cars very well, this thing got 90's Hyundai hand downs
Parked against the older Alpine it doesnt have a low nose at all. Ill take the older one. Looks way better.
Needs wider set of rims
Looks light a Porsche on the front and a Mclarin speedtail from behind 😂
SAME engine as the BASE model 110 - in a different body BUT for more than 10x the price - you'd need to have a runny brain to go for that
This car is for tax evasion only
Fun fact:-
Zagato is named for Ugo Zagato a famous Automotive designer, active during the first halfof the 20th century, but is also Italian for "As UGLY as possible"
There’s absolutely nothing ugly about the Zagato cars that came out in the 50’s to 70’s
O wow the Japanese designer literally looks like an anime character.
7:10 went in dry 😳😳
Didn’t even tease it a little, straight in!! 3 knuckles deep! 😂
Have they fitted a bespoke V8 or something for €650,000?
Their head designer looks like a JoJo reference!
This is really not a good looking car, but what to expect when you see the designer
At first i though it was an alpine a110
Looks like a Saturn EV1 electric car.
The standard A110 is hideous enough. This kinda fixes the look
change the headlights and its would be sexy
