Zagato creates the Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa

Zagato atelier has designed the Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa and presented it at last weekend’s XII Villa D’Este Concours d’Elegance. Besides honouring the 90 years of collaboration between Zagato and Alfa Romeo, it represents a tribute to 100 years of races and victories across the whole 20th century.

From the Scuderia Ferrari of the 20’s and 30’s, Alfa Corse of the 40’s and 50’s, Autodelta of the 60’s and 70’s up to the latest Scuderia Zagato of the 80’s and 90’s, the TZ3 Corsa celebrates men and machines bonded to the Alfa Romeo Zagato tradition.

With the help of Technical Partners such as OMP and Pirelli, Zagato built the TZ3 Corsa, a car based on a mono shell carbon fibre tubular chassis, coupled with a tubular frame and a lightweight aluminium body.

The car has been custom-built for Alfa Romeo Zagato collector Martin Kapp, whose collection includes the SZ coda tonda and SZ coda tronca, the TZ and TZ2 and also the Junior Z and S.Z.. Martin Kapp chose his Zagato during the Zandvoort Tribute to Zagato event, where more than 130 Alfa Romeo Zagatos were commemorating the 90th Anniversary of the brand.

The TZ3 Corsa is powered by a 4.2-litre V8 dry sumped engine. Fitted with a six-speed sequential transmission the TZ3 Corsa has a maximum output of 420 HP which enables the racing car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h just under 3.2 seconds and reach a maximum speed of more than 300 km/h.
