The Capricorn 01 Zagato: An Analogue Supercar That’s Rare In 2025
SAUDI ARABIA: The Capricorn 01 Zagato is a supercar focused on one thing: bringing back the connection between drivers and their cars. The refreshingly mechanical cabin and performance of the Capricorn 01 Zagato are standout features in 2025, when most cars are using software systems to control different mechanical functions of the car.
The Capricorn 01 Zagato, as described by the brand, is a collaboration of bringing Italian design and German engineering together. The old-school satisfaction that this car provides is certainly going to be its major selling point, as it offers a manual transmission with revving engine sounds and the feel of driving a manual car all by yourself.
Capricorn 01 Zagato: What’s Under The Hood?
The Capricorn 01 Zagato features a 5.2-litre supercharged V8 engine that’s borrowed from Ford. However, Capricorn has rebuilt the internals with new pistons, camshafts, and a custom dry-sump system. The engine outputs an impressive 887 hp, and it is paired with a five-speed manual transmission. The car only comes in a Rear Wheel Drive option, and despite most other supercars featuring a dual-clutch gearbox, the manual transmission of the Capricorn 01 Zagato is what helps it stand out.
Capricorn 01 Zagato: Design Highlights
The restraint used in the design of the Zagato is art-like. The avoidance of using complex active aerodynamics and flashy wings keeps this car grounded and true to its nature. The design of the car is also a nod to the racing heritage of Zagato, which is a welcome design addition for most fans.
One of the best uses of modern technology is also seen in this car, with all the panels of this car being made out of carbon fibre. Even the chassis of the car is built with carbon and paired with pushrod suspension and adjustable Blistein dampers. The car also gets Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes and 21-inch forged wheels.
