Ferrari and Zagato's relationship formed one of the most desirable 'marriages' in car design, the 250GT Zagato (GTZ). It was their most sucessfull collaboration and only a few were ever made for requesting clients. As the ultimate combination, the GTZ allied the already proven Ferrari 250 Tour de France chassis with Zagato's curvaceous low drag body. It practically guaranteed success.

For the Ferrari 250, Zagato used his lightweight, aeronautic techniques which he first adopted when founding his coach building company in 1919. This meant the lightweight and purposeful bodywork on the 250 GTZ not only looked incredible, it helped Camillo Luglio become the Italian sports car champion twice over. 

The first GTZ, chassis 0515GT, was completed in 1956 and set the basic shape for four more coupes. Each was intended for competition, and some even had stylish details that put them at the forefront of the Concours scene. As Uwe Zagato and his sons were open to suggestions from their clients, the GTZs varied in subtle details, and a few were made as lightweight as Zagato could go. 

Fighter pilot Camillo Luglio won two Italian champions in two different examples, and placed second in class at the somewhat tamed-down 1958 Mille Miglia. During this remarkable placement he held pace with Ferrari's factory team and was later offered a position by Enzo to drive in Forumula One which he turned down. 

Throughout Ferrari's colorful and successful history, only ten customer-bought Ferraris were bodied by Zagato up to 1973, making these cars one of the hardest to see in person. Despite what is published, all of the GTZs remain intact and each is the highlight of the collection they belong to.

  1. Ferrari 250 GTE was Ferrari’s first several seat style and the thought was good enough to evolve in a series of Ferrari 2+2s that used precisely the same engineering since the sporting activities cars. Mainly because these were made to get grand visiting, the GTE was advertised as a deluxe car.


    To allow for two added seats, Ferrari had to approach the engine and auxileries 12 in . forward and extend the bodywork a simlar amount compared to the prior 250. The wheelbase continued to be the same, nevertheless the additional mass added 168 lbs for the car.
