Timeline

The 1956 Ferrari 250 GT Zagato (GTZ) is a highly coveted and successful collaboration between Ferrari and Zagato in car design. It featured a lightweight and aerodynamic body on the proven Ferrari 250 Tour de France chassis. Only a 5 GTZs were made for specific clients, each intended for competition, and some were even customized based on client preferences.
