Zagato is designing a new lightweight hypercar, and look, it’s got gullwing doors!

Noted Italian design enthusiast Zagato has confirmed it has been tasked by ze Germans to indulge said enthusiasm via a new hypercar. We do not know its name. We do not know its power. All we know is, it’ll be light. And feature a natty set of gullwing doors.

German tech company capricorn has teamed up with Zagato to build just 19 examples of this gullwing-doored lightweight hypercar, and it’ll be a hand-built project that promises to be “refreshingly analogue”.

Capricorn, you say? It’s been building lightweight componentry since 1933 for motorsport, cars, aviation, defence and other areas. Zagato, you say? Why, it’s only gone and designed some of the coolest cars on the planet. This one will be its first ever hypertoy.

“Zagato’s first hypercar introduces a new segment of collectibles, designed to enhance the driving experience beyond the contemporary and classic categories,” said Zagato president Andrea Zagato.

Capricorn boss Robertino Wild added: “We wanted to create something that feels technically advanced yet refreshingly analogue, a car that rewards the driver with a direct, uncompromised experience.”

It won’t be about ‘chasing records’ or ‘following trends’, apparently, but a “true driver’s car”. We’ll find out more on 10 October 2025, so watch this space…
