Is that designer dressed like a pirate? I don't know why, but I'm a all for it?

[@tclcstudio4070]

No, he is dressed like a rich italian woman. He's probably confused, being from Japan, and also probably in his own world from time to time

Appreciate all the time, effort and skill that went into it, but it just doesn't look good to my eye

[@benjaminrogers9848]

Doesn't fit the wheelbase

[@DavidChong]

I think the front is good (though the livery maybe doesn't do it any favours) but personally I'm not a fan of longtails generally in terms of looks.

Those Alpine’s look beautiful 😍

[@theautocommittee]

Very cool design from Zagato! Maybe next time we will see a car that can actively change its shape between long tail and short tail without removing parts. Essentially a production version of what Mercedes did on that IAA concept.

[@alanhindmarch4483]

Three Automotive Names for me standout. Aston Martin, Lancia and Zagato. Zagato have designed some of the Most Beautiful Lancia and Aston Martins, ever made.

I love the A110...but that's pretty ugly. I'll take the standard one for, what...1/7th to 1/13th the price of this?

[@BPBomber]

100% agree. I’m not very familiar with Zagato works but from what was shown in the video, their designs might be an acquired taste? Reminds me of when you see a supermodel on a runway wearing ridiculous clothes because of some loony designers ideas.

[@oskar6661]

@@BPBomber They used to make world class, beautiful stuff...but one glance at their "current" designer and you can see taste/style/class are not high on the priority list.

[@jakem1126]

I dont think many people will agree with me but I prefer the looks of the basic a110 haha

[@krinos1]

For the price absolutely

[@mrmonday42]

I think it needs a little more width to balance out the length

[@DontForgetOldKolobok]

Fun fact:- Zagato is named for Ugo Zagato a famous Automotive designer, active during the first halfof the 20th century, but is also Italian for "As UGLY as possible"

[@narrowistheway77]

There’s absolutely nothing ugly about the Zagato cars that came out in the 50’s to 70’s

[@fenrirslip]

I think they could've done a better job with that side fender vent. It looks way too angular for a car that's supposed to be as slippery as possible at speed.

[@elliotts7006]

So what happens to the exhaust when youre idling with the long tail on?

[@skill_issueee]

The long tail has a gap to let fumes flow normally

[@AWSAM335]

Zagatos make a much more compelling argument for themselves when they're using exotic supercars and grand tourers for their base. A 1.8 litre four cylinder who's main rival is the base model 718 Cayman? Not so much.

[@jusnewquay]

I like the front view. Not sure about the back.

[@Chris_Willows]

Have they fitted a bespoke V8 or something for €650,000?

[@erhanucuncu]

Rich people will pay for this to show off as limited production. Deplorable. My eyes bled. 🤣 Some things need to stay in the past. Look at the beauty of these classics.

[@devilslayerthesaintofkille1317]

Even the logos look similar, they could have encorporated them together cleverly somehow.

[@andrewhumphreys9889]

SAME engine as the BASE model 110 - in a different body BUT for more than 10x the price - you'd need to have a runny brain to go for that

[@jamesphillips7150]

What does it weigh

[@simmadpaul2880]

Parked against the older Alpine it doesnt have a low nose at all. Ill take the older one. Looks way better.

[@storagearr]

Needs wider set of rims

[@lorenzo1843]

Honestly I personally don't like it, visually to complicated, especially without the longtail on, and it also looks so much heavier than the standard alpine a110

[@clifflee5404]

O wow the Japanese designer literally looks like an anime character.

[@Angry_Squirrel555]

The nose needs to swoop lower down to the ground, then the front end wouldn’t look so out of scale. As is though the original A110 front end concept looks better.

[@owenchuarbx]

The standard A110 is hideous enough. This kinda fixes the look

[@CarsonTakeshiStudio]

The car that requires middle finger to unlock door.

[@gilesphillips8773]

Fixes the bad looks of the supposedly brilliant A110. Ive got no doubt people will look back and kick themselves for saying it looked bad and passing up on it

[@Daedje]

All that effort into the styling only for it to look extra weird.

[@MangoJam420]

[@bilalkaraca4459]
