Lack of charisma can be fatal.
Visca Catalunya!
It seems contrived — obsequious and trite; a pedantic exercise, though certainly not pedestrian.
Ferrer is right about the rear being a Zagato trademark, but do we need trademarks in the neo-coachbuilding industry? I find this styling exercise to be predictable. It apes numerous other recent Zagato designs without finding, to these eyes, which looked at it for all of ten seconds or so, its own flavor.
And the double-bubble roof (and faux-boattail) design is supposed to be incorporated into an overarching "shrink-wrapped" bodywork look. Given that the starting point was such a thick-cut slab of British rolling beef, the double bubble looses its charm.
I'd drive it. If you put a bag over its head.

I'm erudite ;-)
hideous.
well, they had a bentley to start with i guess, so it's not unexpected, given zagato's style..

at the beginning, i didn't like zagato's style. now i cannot say that all its creations are fabulous, but they have their own style, which is a good quality in this days where all automakers are copying each others. you could say that zagato is copying itself, and then i could argue with the "family feeling" and so on...
the last year's Diatto Ottovu i though it was simply rubbish for example. by the time i began to appreciate it, because it is proportioned, not excessive, it's a manifest of your exclusivity (a good reason is simply because no one knows what it is...) but without screaming "i'm richer and cooler than you" at the fellows around you at a light cross.
this GTZ for sure is more showy and lacks of this understatement, but it's more personal than the standard GT, which is a really good looking car, but know one is going to say it is ugly because it is banal, so it is nearly obvious that you like it. btw, i like it too, i have to admit it.

Like everyone i eagerly anticipated the zagato bentley but was some what disapointed, o.k. i didnt expect it to have wings but something more original would have been nice too see,The rear especially looks to similar to the rear of the ferrari 575 gtz, diatto ottovu zagato and maserati gs zagato. just my poinion
The grille is big,like Audi,it's more aggressive.
