Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa race car by Zagato

Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa race car by Zagato

This is not a concept car like the Alfa Romeos we saw in Geneva, namely the 2uettottanta roadster by Pininfarina and the outrageous Pandion by Bertone, but a real race car. It was commissioned by Alfa collector Martin Kapp (you can see the German’s name on the car) who owns rare stuff like the SZ coda tonda, SZ coda tronca, TZ and TZ2, Junior Z and S.Z, among others.

Zagato says that the TZ3 Corsa honours 100 years of racing and winning in the 20th century. Alfa and Zagato has a long history together, from the Mille Miglia victories of the 1500 6C, 1750 GS and 8C 2300 Zagato to the Formula 1 championship of Juan Manuel Fangio, aboard his Alfa 159 bodied by Zagato. In the 60s, they conqured the 12 hours of Sebring, Targa Florio, Nurburgring and the 24 hours of Le Mans together.

Powered by the 8C Competizione’s V8, the TZ3 Corsa is based on a monocoque carbon fibre tubular chassis, coupled with a tubular frame and a lightweight aluminium body. It comes with goodies from OMP and Pirelli. Check out the gallery after the jump.

    I wonder if all Zagato designs have similar cues.. because i see some similarities with an Aston Martin DB4 Zagato race car, except that the aston’s tail and nose hang lower than the alfa…

    But whatever it is… the front looks aswesome…

  • Looks like it’s going to be a modern classic. Ageless just like the Fort GT 40. A modern day Ferrari GTO. Just hope the engine and handling can match up with the looks.

    Whether this car will actually actually going for any GT championships, remains to be seen. Even the original Alfa 8C Competizione is in a complete absence in racing arena.

    Its named ‘ corsa ‘ but i highlly doubt it will be raced, given its *cough cough* a million pound price tag, if it does….expect to see it in wreckedexotics.com

    we have coachbuilders…….
    buit kit-cars are more affordable……

    Stunning!
    Sigh. Not like normies like me can own one.

    The real car has circular exhaust outlets I think and not the triangular ones here.
