Wearing bespoke carbon-fiber bodywork by Zagato, this stunning GTZ Nibbio is one of just nine to be restyled by the famous Italian coachbuilder. The current owner commissioned the build in GTZ specification after buying the vehicle in 2015. The work was completed in late 2016; the final bill was no less than €750,000, reflecting the painstaking levels of craftsmanship involved in creating this extraordinary machine.
Chassis 164839 was initially constructed in November 2008 wearing standard Pininfarina bodywork. Powered by a 6.0-liter V12 producing a phenomenal 612 horsepower, the car was capable of reaching 100 km/h in a scant 3.7 seconds. Its top speed exceeded a frightening 330 km/h (205 mph).
During the conversion, the structural elements of the original car’s design remained unchanged. The characteristic Zagato “double-bubble” roof is a key feature of the Nibbio. Its attractive tan leather interior, finished in a quilted pattern on the seats and around the footwell, combines with the numerous applications of carbon trim and modern switchgear. A stunning car that relives the golden age of coachbuilt thoroughbreds, this remarkable GTZ Nibbio has seen little use since conversion and would make an outstanding addition to any serious collection.
