| Zagato is one of the oldest and most respected marques in automotive design. The company's roots date back to 1919. That was the year in which Ugo Zagato established the Zagato Coachworks, using the vast experience he had gained working in the aircraft industry at Ansaldo Pomillio to build cars using advanced construction techniques. In 1960, Zagato won the Italian design award, the Compasso d'Oro(Golden Compass), for the diminutive Abarth 1000. This important recognition was bestowed upon the company for the coherence of its design objectives: Individual styling which has never been influenced by passing fads. During those years, Zagato consolidated its leading position in the world of motor sports. | | |

We have to have courage even liaving such comfortable modern life...to go even faster,to go forward. This is the message very often we discuss with Mr.Zagato how we contribute to make our life better.So we gave this massage into this project.This is the concept we'd like to develop. | | |
