shape and presence<\/p>\n
The capricorn 01 Zagato<\/a> sits low and self-contained, as if carved from a single piece of carbon fiber. Its Ford GT<\/a>-esque lines flow without interruption, with a long front deck, pronounced haunches, and double bubble roof (a Zagato signature) that arches over the cabin. The design team has refined every contour for continuity, not for aggression. Air is drawn through subtle intakes that sit flush with the body, and the rear tapers inward around a wide diffuser that seems to pull the mass toward the ground.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n There are no oversized spoilers or theatrical gestures. Instead, capricorn Group<\/a>\u2018s 01 relies on the tension between surface and structure. Gullwing doors open upward with a clean, mechanical motion, revealing a cockpit framed by exposed carbon and narrow glass. It\u2019s designed to be both contemporary and enduring, and the team at Zagato hopes it will age gracefully beside its more historic works.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n performance and materials<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Beneath the sculpted bodywork lies a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 developed by capricorn Group, tuned to deliver more than 900 horsepower. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox, an intentional decision in a world dominated by dual-clutch systems.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The car weighs under 1,200 kilograms. capricorn Group engineered the chassis using carbon fiber throughout, paired with a double-wishbone suspension and adaptive dampers. Downforce is achieved through airflow sculpted beneath the car rather than on top of it, giving the body its calm, uninterrupted silhouette.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n interior character<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Inside, the capricorn 01 Zagato continues the same focus on essential form. The cabin is compact and spare, finished in exposed carbon, brushed aluminum, and Connolly leather. Three analog gauges dominate the instrument cluster on the dashboard, their needles sweeping across matte black dials. The steering wheel holds only two buttons (start and mode), leaving the rest to the driver.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n project info:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n name: capricorn 01 Zagato<\/p>\n team:\u00a0capricorn Group<\/a>, Zagato<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"zagato designs \u201901\u2019 for capricorn debut \u00a0 The capricorn 01 Zagato is the first road car from German…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":207552,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[64,63,56356,105],"class_list":["post-207551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-car-design","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207551","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=207551"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207551\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/207552"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=207551"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=207551"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=207551"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Capricorn](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/zagato-capricorn-01-car-designboom-02.jpg\")
