Capricorn 01 Zagato Debuts as 900-HP, Five-Speed Manual Hypercar

The debut introduces Zagato’s first dedicated hypercar design, setting Capricorn’s delivery timeline for 2026.

Overview

  • Revealed at the Zoute Grand Prix on October 10, the car arrives with full specs and a focus on analogue driving engagement.
  • Zagato penned the body over an LMP1-style all‑carbon structure with double‑wishbone, pushrod Bilstein suspension and Brembo carbon‑ceramic brakes.
  • Power comes from a Capricorn‑developed, Ford‑based 5.2‑liter supercharged V8 claimed at about 900 hp and 738 lb‑ft, revving to roughly 9,000 rpm.
  • Drive goes to the rear wheels via a CIMA dog‑leg five‑speed manual; Capricorn cites a sub‑3.0‑second 0–62 mph and approximately 224 mph top speed with dry weight under 1,200 kg.
  • Production is limited to 19 units priced at €2.95 million before tax, hand‑built in Germany, sold through Louyet Group to selected global markets, with first deliveries targeted for 2026 and a Nürburgring facility expansion planned.
