Ferrari 599 GTZ Nibbio Spyder by Zagato (1 of 6).
If our eyes are windows into our souls, then that makes headlights the easy analogue for automobiles. a personification that may sound simple, but is in fact extremely complex. Whole divisions of designers at major manufacturers focus completely on exterior lighting. For boutique manufacturers, designing headlights can prove to be the trickiest part of the whole enterprise, requiring months of testing and certification that can bedevil even the most engineering-driven firms, as Alois Ruf recently confessed to Jay Leno. This is the reason why most custom body manufacturers go the route of using existing headlamps and designing extravagant bodywork around them. The fact that the handful of modern coachbuilders who are still in business can craft entirely different shapes starting with pre-created lights is only a testament to their skill; this 2009 Ferrari 599 GTZ Nibbio Spyder by Zagato is the perfect example of how integral a design detail like this is when you are trying to create a truly unique form.this Zagato-bodied 599 is like a visual puzzle that reveals itself slowly. First, those headlights mentioned earlier—the primary reason why the Nibbio Spyder does not resemble the Ferrari 599 on which it was based is that the lights (the “eyes”) were borrowed from a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti. This seemingly minor difference sets the entire car apart, allowing the formidable Ferrari coupe to exist comfortably as a convertible.
Secondly, as with any Zagato-bodied car, this GTZ must call to mind some of the great sculptural shapes from the Milanese coachbuilder’s 100-year history. While the double-bubble rooflines of the Ferrari 250 GT Zagato and Fiat-Abarth Zagato cannot be seen in this Spyder’s folding canvas top, the signature lines can be seen cut into this example’s trunk. Lest any critic claims the double-bubble design to be merely aesthetic, the GTZ’s trunk reveals the valley in between the two humps hides the all-important third brake light, necessary for any drop-top.From the side profile, the dramatic sweep of the GTZ reveals a swept-back design that could only be accomplished by a fearless firm like Zagato. Practically the only body feature in common with the 599 coupes are the door handles; every other feature seems completely custom-made.
Power comes from a 6-liter atmospheric V12 engine with 620 hp and 608 Nm, in line with what a true Ferrari should offer in a grand tourer. We do not know if the benefits are better or worse than those declared by the brand, but it would be a lie to say that the 599 GTB was a slow car. With the six-speed automatic transmission (called F1), it could reach 100 km/h from a standstill in 3.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 330 km/h, figures that are still respectable today.

Une Ferrari de 1956 vendue pour un million d’euros
Monaco Car Auctions a récemment vendu une Ferrari 250 GT Aluminium Coupe pour la modique somme d’un million d’euros. Il s’agit d’une voiture de course qui date de 1956. Sachez que le constructeur italien n’en a conçu que 14 exemplaires.
