The Tutto Rosso hypercar prototype signals Capricorn's 19-car series-production run, with each copy starting at $3.34 million. Milan design house Zagato's never done a hypercar, but it's on its way to penning its first production hypercar—if you can call a 19-car run "production". The Capricorn 01 Zagato Tutto Rosso doesn't count toward that 19-car total because it's still deemed a prototype, but it looks pretty well finished to us. And if you can afford it, you can probably also afford to get it street-legal, somehow.
This hypercar prototype already has an unnamed owner who commissioned it, with the car set to make its debut this weekend at the prestigious Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este car show on Italy's Lake Como. The 01 Zagato is in the spirit of purist hypercars like the Gordon Murray T.50 and Koenigsegg Jesko, with a 9000-rpm supercharged 5.2-liter Ford V-8 good for more than 900 horsepower and a manual transmission. That transmission is a dogleg five-speed, but when you've only got a claimed 2647 pounds of dry weight against 900 horsepower, maybe you can spare a ratio or two.
View Price on AmazonAs you might expect, there's a lot of carbon fiber—the tub, body, and much of the interior are carbon. And in the case of the Tutto Rosso—"all red" in Italian—that carbon fiber was tinted red. The company says that 95 percent of the car's visible surfaces are red. If you think you have a favorite color, safe to say you don't like it as much as this 01 Zagato owner likes red.
The Capricorn 01 Zagato's base price is $3,344,000 at the current exchange rate, and if that's too rich for your blood, don't worry about it—the 01 Zagato isn't homologated for the U.S. market. But maybe you can keep it at your pied-à-terre in Monaco.
