BMW Zagato Roadster Concept Burbles Along the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance Road


One of the most impressive cars to bow at the recent 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in California was the second concept model to come from BMW's partnership with Zagato.

You have likely already seen the pictures of the BMW Zagato Roadster, but YouTube user "BrianZuk" captured the open-top model on film at the famed California show.

BMW and Zagato Get Together Again to Create a Striking Roadster Concept


After the positive reaction the Z4-based Zagato Coupe concept received at the Concorso d’Elleganza Villa d’Este in Italy earlier this year, BMW chief designer Adrian van Hooydonk and Andrea Zagato decided to collaborate again and produce yet another concept, this time for the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in California.

The fruit of this collaboration, which appeared in an obscure teaser image a couple of days ago, is a roadster version of the Zagato Coupe that we saw in Italy. One may assume that BMW and Zagato have simply taken that car and chopped off the roof (which would be ironic, since the Z4 is a roadster), but this is not the case.

The BMW Zagato Roadster, which was constructed in just six weeks, certainly looks a lot like its fixed-roof sibling.

But that's not a bad thing as the aggressive, “three dimensional” (in Zagato talk) front end with the large air intakes, contoured hood with integral air scoops, the black A-pillars, the sculpted sides and the overall solid stance and minimal overhangs of the concept make for a muscular look.

A Second, All-New BMW Zagato Concept to Debut at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance


Only a few months after BMW and Zagato premiered their conceptual version of a stylish Z4 Coupe at the prestigious Concorso d’Eleganza in Italy this past May, the two companies are joining forces once again and plan to debut a second design study at this week's 2012 Pebble Beach Concours in California.

Unfortunately, there's no teaser image of the new concept (what you see above is a shot from the previous BMW Zagato Z4) while BMW isn't willing to release any details about the car just yet.

Photos and Videos of the Alfa Romeos at the Goodwood Festival of Speed


Alfa Romeo, the famous Italian brand that should have been among the Fiat group's first priorities but which has been heavily neglected and steered towards the wrong direction over the years, had a strong presence at last weekend's 2012 Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Among other impressive production models on show was a yellow-colored example of the built-to-order by Zagato, Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale that is based on the running gear of the V10-powered Dodge Viper ACR.
