The body and floor have been sculpted to generate as much downforce as possible through ground effect – both to avoid the fitment of canards or a large rear spoiler and to improve the car’s driveability at road speeds.
Capricorn CEO Robertino Wild said: “Our target was to achieve a constant and predictable downforce distribution for stability, not an ultra-high downforce number with a narrow operating window that would make the hypercar nervous and challenging to drive.”
The interior is inspired by historic racers, with the rev counter taking up a significant proportion of the 01 Zagato’s analogue instrument cluster. Access is through gull-wing doors.
The seats are fixed to the car’s chassis but, in similar fashion to the Ford GT, the position of the pedal box can be adjusted fore and aft to suit drivers of different sizes.
The gear lever can also be moved by 80mm forward or backward across the length of the transmission tunnel.
There’s no touchscreen, but a small display emerges from the dashboard to display the output of a reversing camera.
The car’s drive modes – Comfort, Sport and Track – are selected using a dial on the steering wheel.
Just 19 examples of the 01 Zagato will be produced, each priced from €2.95 million (£2.56m) before tax.
The car will be homologated according to European standards, allowing its use on the road in the UK, among a handful of other non-European markets globally.
