• Give A Gift

The grandson of Ugo Zagato, Andrea Zagato is the current CEO of the prestigious Italian design house his grandfather started in 1919. Based in Milan, Zagato recently applied its signature touches to not one, but two Alfa Romeos.


How did these two TZ3 models come about?


To mark the 100th anniversary of Alfa Romeo last year, we made the TZ3 Corsa—a birthday gift with historical references to its predeces-sors, the TZ and TZ2. At the same time, we wanted to respond to the announcement that the Fiat group united with Chrysler.



So the TZ3 Stradale is a hint of that future?


Exactly! Both TZ3 models are significant for two reasons: as a tribute to the motorsport history of Alfa Romeo and the street sports cars of the brand. Many American Alfisti have dreamed about the return of the make to the U.S. for many years and now Fiat and Chrysler have a means to do it with an established U.S. dealer network.



But two different cars—Corsa and Stradale—why?


The Corsa should not be a tuned road car but a thoroughbred racing machine and therefore have a proven carbon GT2 chassis. The Stradale is an entirely different concept; it's roadworthy—even in the U.S., which was very important. However, both cars belong together—they are a project in two versions.



Who will buy the TZ3 Stradale?


Not speculators. Our customers are hand-picked collectors we know and trust. Ideally, there will be only one per country or region. With the Stradale, it is very unlikely that two cars will ever meet. The first goes to Eric King, an Alfa fan in Saratoga Springs, New York, who owns a lot of Italian cars and a museum. I am confident that he will keep his Stradale.



Do both coupes vary in cost?


Yes and no. The Corsa is unique and therefore more expensive. With the Stradale, development costs are shared by nine specimens that we want to do. That is the magic number for us—and all will keep their value because they will be differently equipped collector's items.
