Zagato’s new Iso Rivolta embodies the Italo-American dream

Of the plethora of landmark classic cars that combine svelte Italian bodies and powerful American V8 hearts, the Iso Rivolta A3/C is at the sharp end of the list when it comes to desirability. And Zagato clearly agrees as it’s just given us a glimpse of its fabulous modern-day interpretation…

All show, all go

Boasting a desperately sleek bespoke frock handcrafted from carbon-fibre and a modified version of the small-block V8 found in the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the Iso Rivolta GTZ, which Zagato has teased ahead of its October launch, looks to be an extravagant celebration of the Italian-American automotive love affair typical of the historic Milanese design studio. Just 19 cars will be produced and, much like their spiritual predecessors, we expect no two to be alike.
