About ZAGATO MILANO
Zagato, the Milanese coach building Atelier and legendary design signature, in its century long history created some of the most beautiful and significant cars of all time, always very successful in motorsport. Started by Ugo Zagato on April 19th 1919, the company is still independent and led by the third generation of the founding family. In a hundred years of uninterrupted activity, Zagato produced in total more than 440 models, mostly 2 seat and 2 door coupés and spiders, in association with 44 different automotive brands. Following first the functionalist and then the rationalist philosophy with the concept of ‘essential beauty’, Zagato’s strength through the years has been that of its consistency. The partnership of the Milanese Atelier with Aston Martin is one of the longest and most felicitous ones, as it started in 1960 with the DB4 GTZ, which today has reached top collecting rating. Today, Zagato is a Total Design Studio, whose activities extend beyond the automotive field to Transportation, New Mobility, Product and Industrial design sectors.
