2009 Geneva Auto Show Zagato Perana Z-One


The Zagato Perana Z-One will see limited production (just under 1000 units with a price upward of $100,000) and was shown with a LS3 6.2-liter V-8 under the hood. The same engine in top trim when fitted to the Corvette LS3 is rated at 435 bhp. Zagato is aiming for 0–60 mph acceleration of about 4 seconds.

The overall shape of the car is striking for its similarity to the Ford Shelby GR-1 concept shown at the North American International Auto Show four years ago. The difference is in the details. The nose of the Perana Z-One is far more Italian in execution, with pontoon style fenders and a front grille opening reminiscent of early Ferrari Testarossas and the 250 GTO. Unlike the Daytona Coupe-like rear end of the GR-1, the Perana Z-One has a more conventional rounded rear with large, hooded taillamps. The fenders feature triangular openings and the hood has a semi-circular vent. And of course, the 2-seater sports Zagato's signature double-bubble roof treatment.
