Ask For A Gorgeous Zagato-bodied Ferrari For Christmas, You're Worth It
Ask For A Gorgeous Zagato-bodied Ferrari For Christmas, You're Worth It-April 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:46

If your loved ones truly care for you, they’ll pitch in to get you this spectacular Ferrari 599 GTZ Nibbio by Zagato this holiday season. It’s the only one in the world with a manual transmission, making it as unique as you are. It’s also the best looking Ferrari of the last twenty years, and you need it, right?

Zagato, in 2017, took nine decade-old Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano examples and dropped this excellent bodywork on top. Eight of the nine were equipped with F1 paddle shift gearboxes, but this blue example has the gated manual you really deserve. And it’s still got the 6-liter V12 under the hood, meaning you’ve got more than 600 horsepower on tap.

The interior is trimmed in the best shade of blue I’ve ever seen. I’d sit in there for hours just to absorb the essence of blue into my life.

This is a Ferrari so rare that even the folks who spend their day had never heard of it! The body looks similar to that of the more common Ferrari 575 GTZ, but it’s certainly its own thing.

Nibbio is the Italian word for kite, the small raptor bird of prey in the Accipitridae family. I’m not sure if the name is quite fitting for a large GT car like the 599, but it sounds fun.

Of course, all of this exclusivity doesn’t come cheap. The car shown here is currently for sale . With just over 16,000 miles on the odometer, the dealer is requesting $1,495,000 exchange hands to drive it home. If you’re the kind of person who needs an exclusive one-of-one Ferrari for Christmas, you’re in luck. That is, unless I beat you to it.

What Should I Do If The Used Car I Want Has An Open Recall?
As Jalopnik’s resident car buying expert and professional car shopper, I get emails. Lots of emails. I’ve decided to pick a few questions and try to help out. This week we are discussing buying a car with an open recall and whether or not to put a deposit on...

Please Provide Reasons Why I Shouldn't Buy This Trabant
Please Provide Reasons Why I Shouldn't Buy This Trabant
I already own two cars that are located more than 2,000 miles from my Troy, Michigan house (One of these cars I haven’t yet revealed, because I’m ashamed.) So what’s a third, really? If my craps out, why should I not buy this Trabant? Seriously, I need reasons. This...

TireScanner Is A Solid Option If Your Tire-Buying Priorities Are Price And Convenience
TireScanner Is A Solid Option If Your Tire-Buying Priorities Are Price And Convenience
Your car’s tires are its most important parts. I tell people that whenever I get the chance, but not everyone needs optimal automotive performance. If you’re just trying to get fresh tires painlessly, requires an extremely minimal amount of work to get your car re-shoe’d. (: TireScanner’s people reached...

At $3,950, Will This 1996 Volvo 850 GLT Make You Hip To Be Square?
At $3,950, Will This 1996 Volvo 850 GLT Make You Hip To Be Square?
You don’t need to be a fanatic of the brand to acknowledge that today’s Volvo is a nicely equipped and seemingly well-preserved example of the company’s first midsize front-driver. Will its price, however, be just as easy to appreciate? The hermit-like lifestyle many of us have imposed upon ourselves...

At $650, Could You Face This Daunting 1993 Honda Del Sol Project?
The directive “some assembly required” has never been more apropos than it is with today’s Honda. Let’s see if this project car’s price is cheap enough to have you assembling both the cash and a parts list. There is no more powerful tool in your auto buying retinue than...

At $24,750, Could Buying This 2014 Maserati Ghibli Be A True Labor Of Love?
At $24,750, Could Buying This 2014 Maserati Ghibli Be A True Labor Of Love?
This being Labor Day here in the U.S., it’s a great opportunity to reflect on how hard we all work and what sort of rewards that work can afford. One such reward could be a cool Italian car like today’s Maserati, that is if its price works for you....
