Alfa Romeo Zeta 6

Vehicle Overview

The Alfa Romeo Zeta 6 was unveiled in 1983 at the Geneva Motor Show, Zagato’s compact 2+2 was based on Alfa Romeo GTV6 running gear with 2.5 V6 engine. It was a self financed Zagato project, and can be singled out as one of the most beautiful Zagato creations of the 1980s. The Alfa Romeo Zeta 6 was styled by Zagato’s chief stylist Giuseppe Mittino, applying trademark cues from the Milanese house such as the short overhangs, compact cockpit and double-bubble roof. It was this car which prompted Victor Gauntlet at Aston Martin to develop the attractive Aston Martin Zagato project, another graceful design from the ‘80s to bear the famous Z badge.
