The ultimate italian coachbuilder site

You can now buy the first and only Iso Rivolta GTZ in the U.S.

A few years ago, Zagato announced that it wanted to relaunch the Iso Rivolta brand, one of the most iconic Italian car manufacturer of the 1960s and 1970s. Zagato started by unveiling the Iso Rivolta Vision Gran Turismo in 2017 which featured in the videogame series “Gran Turismo”. Shortly after, the limited production Iso Rivolta GTZ was presented.

The GTZ was presented in November 2020  through a series of sketches. Although Zagato has unveiled all the main details, the GTZ has only been revealed in the form of some official images flanked by a few technical specifications regarding the engine.

Officially the price has been never revealed, all we know is that the car will be built in only 19 units. Almost a year has passed since the presentation. Since the Milanese coachbuilder takes from 12 to 18 month to built a limited edition car like the Iso Rivolta GTZ, it will surely have built only a few speciments.

That said, one of the first GTZ ever built is already for sale on issimo.com with only 100 miles driven. In addition to being one of the few GTZs already built, it is reported as the only one currently available in the United States. It is therefore a real opportunity for collectors who have not had the opportunity to order one or don’t want to wait a year. The estimated price is 1.35 million dollars (1.15 million euros).
