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. Each GTZ had subtle variations, with some made as lightweight as possible. Camillo Luglio, a successful racer, won championships in two different GTZs and declined an offer to join Ferrari's Formula One team. The 0537GT, known as 'The Coupe Corsa,' was completed around the same time as 0515GT and was specifically built for Camillo Luglio. This lighter car played a crucial role in helping Luglio surpass the competition and secure the Italian Championship in 1956. Currently, 0537GT is located in California.
