Concorso D'Eleganza Villa D'Este 2025, Italian Coachbuilder Zagato introduced a car that won everyone's heart. Alfa Romeo 8C Doppiacoda Zagato is a unique composition inspired by Alfa Romeo 8C Complezione formed between 2007-2010. This car is specially made for a rich customer and the unique design of Zagato made it even more special. It probably cost more than one million euros. This car is not only a vehicle but also a precious collectable item.


The design of this car is quite different from the original 8C Complezione. Zagato has renewed the front part of it. It has large air ducts and a special V-shaped grille that reminds Alfa Romeo 4C. The back of the car draws the most attention. It has Zagato's signature "Double Tail", i.e. "Doppiacoda" design. This design improves air flow and gives the car a unique look. It is inspired by a mixture of "Coda Tronca" and round tails from the Agtz Twin Tail Project of 2024.

Mechanically Alfa Romeo 8C Doppiacoda Zagato retains its original engine. Its 4.7-litre V8 engine gives 444 horsepower and 480 Nm torque. It comes with a six-speed automated gearbox, which further enhances its performance. Zagato re-designed the car's Carbon-Fiber Body, making it light and aerodynamic. But this car is made in only one unit. This makes it a special design study and collectible.


The relationship between Zagato and Alfa Romeo is more than a hundred years old. In the 1930s, Zagato made light and aerodynamic racing cars for Alfa Romeo 8C 2300, which won races like Mille Miglia and Le Mans. 8C DoppiaCoda Zagato combines this historical partnership with modernity. This car is a great combination of old and new design that respects the legacy of both brands.

In Concorso D'Eleganza Villa D'Este, this car was shown in the concept cars and prototypes category. Discussion started since its pictures were leaked on Autopareri Forum. Some people connected it to Toyota Supra, but Zagato's double bubble roof and sharp lines make it completely different. This car is not only technically excellent but also a sample of art that narrates the shared story of Alfa Romeo and Zagato.


Alfa Romeo 8C Doppia Coda Zagato is a dream-like car for US car lovers. Its limited availability makes it even more special. Perhaps it does not look common on the roads, but its performance in events like Concorso D'Eleganza touches new heights of automotive design. This car leads the glorious past of Alfa Romeo and inspires the future. This art | There is a precious confluence of technology and tradition.
