December 31st, 1969 One year after the presentation of the Ferrari 575GTZ, Zagato returns to Villa d’Este with a new custom car: the Maserati GS Zagato. In the tradition of exclusive collections that inspired the creativity of car designers in the '50s and '60s, Paolo Boffi, an entrepreneur in the furnishing and luxury design sector, has commissioned a customised look for his Maserati GS Spyder. Zagato chose the Maserati A6 G Zagato of 1954 as its inspiration. The Maserati GS Zagato, like its ancestor, has all-aluminium bodywork and bears the Trident on the bonnet and the Z on the wing. The car itself is a two-seater hatchback with a streamlined profile and a neat tail. The wheelbase is 180mm shorter, a spin-off from the Spyder. No details were released about the mechanical package, but it's likely to remain the same as the standard model. Zagato claims it provides excellent handling and stability on curves, with increased torsional rigidity because of the hardtop roof.
