A little less than a year ago, famed Italian coachbuilder Zagato celebrated Alfa Romeo’s centenary with the reveal of the TZ3 Corsa at the Villa D'Este Concours. Based on the hardware of the Alfa Romeo 8c Competizione, the TZ3 Corsa paid homage to its TZ predecessors. It was built as a one-off for a wealthy German collector named Martin Kapp.
In December of the same year, Zagato sent out a holiday card featuring the older TZ1 and TZ2 alongside the latest TZ3 and one more unnamed fourth model wrapped in a bow, hinting at a new TZ4. Fast forward to today, and German car magazine Autobild is reporting that the Italian coachbuilder is indeed planning a fourth TZ model, which could carry the TZ4 Stradale nameplate.
According to the magazine, the new TZ won’t be a one-off but will be built in a limited production run. The report goes on to say that Zagato’s newcomer will be based on the hardware of the V10-powered 2010 Dodge Viper, production of which ceased last year. We’re not sure how this will work, but it could be that the Italian company got its hands on some cars from last year’s production.
However, given that Zagato has not yet made an official announcement, apply the obligatory grain of salt to the details.
