The 01 Zagato marks Capricorn’s inaugural hypercar, designed by Zagato.

Featuring a carbon monocoque and a V8 engine, it is limited to just 19 units, each priced starting at $3.15 million.


In a market saturated with limited-edition supercars and hypercars flaunting impressive figures and complex designs, there is always room for another to leave its imprint. 
	
Introducing the 01 Zagato, a creation focused on the driver, developed by Germany's Capricorn Group in collaboration with the esteemed Italian design firm. This model maintains a refreshing simplicity by combining a non-electrified V8 with a manual transmission.

While this is the first vehicle to showcase the Capricorn name, the company's expertise in performance engineering is extensive. Their lightweight materials have demonstrated reliability in some of the fiercest motorsport environments, supporting teams like Porsche in LMP1, Peugeot Sport in Le Mans and Dakar, Mercedes, Lotus, and Caterham in Formula 1, and Volkswagen in WRC.
		
		
		
		

Capricorn's Founder and CEO Robertino Wild shares a close friendship with Zagato President Andrea Michele Zagato, leading to a project that merges “German engineering precision with Italian design elegance.” The objective was to create a road-legal hypercar that is “designed to be driven, experienced, and remembered.”

Function Meets Tradition

The design incorporates hallmark Zagato features such as the double-bubble roof, almond-shaped headlights, and sculpted fenders. However, its side profile also hints at influences from the Ford GT, while the wraparound glass and single wiper evoke a Koenigsegg silhouette, complemented by slim LED taillights reminiscent of Rimac's minimalism.

Instead of depending on active aerodynamic features, the 01 Zagato employs precisely shaped intakes and outlets to generate consistent downforce. The aim was to make the vehicle approachable for skilled enthusiasts while remaining accessible for drivers lacking racing experience.

A Timeless Interior

Capricorn designed the cabin, featuring a cluster of analog instruments situated behind a round steering wheel, with the central rev counter being the focal point. There are no infotainment screens to modernize the layout, just a small display for the rearview camera that retracts when not in use. 

This recalls a recent discussion about the revival of mechanical watches as luxury symbols after the Quartz Crisis, suggesting a similar trend is occurring with automotive displays. As digital screens proliferate in contemporary dashboards, there seems to be a renewed interest in traditional analog dials for premium vehicles.

The switches are crafted from solid titanium and aluminum, combined with extensive use of exposed carbon fiber, Alcantara, and Connolly leather. The fixed seats provide adjustable cushioning, while the steering column, pedal box, and manual gear lever can all be adjusted for the ideal driving position.

According to Capricorn, the interior can accommodate a variety of body types and includes a 110-liter front trunk for storage.

Analog Driving Experience

Underneath the carbon exterior lies an LMP1-style monocoque chassis also constructed from carbon fiber, along with carbon fiber front and rear subframes. The suspension features double wishbones and pushrod Bilstein dampers with three selectable driving modes (Comfort, Sport, and Track) and a four-wheel lift system.

An electric power-assisted steering setup allows for easy maneuverability at low speeds, then disconnects at high speeds for direct, mechanical feedback. The 21-inch wheels, available in either lightweight alloy or carbon fiber, conceal Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes.

                            
                
                     

Capricorn

Ford Power

This brings us to the powertrain, which defies the trend towards electrification. The mid-mounted supercharged 5.2-liter V8 is based on a Ford engine, further developed by Capricorn with custom components and tuning. 

The outcome is an impressive engine that produces over 888 hp (662 kW / 900 PS) and 1,000 Nm (737.6 lb-ft) of torque, propelling a car that weighs less than 1,200 kg (2,646 lbs) dry, comparable to a high-end Miata RF with a retractable hardtop.

BMW has introduced the 325iS and 333i Homage Editions in South Africa, celebrating the heritage of these classic models with some nostalgic features, including unique wheels, graphics, and upholstery.

Both editions pay tribute to the original models, using the M240i and M2 as their bases. They will be available through a charity auction, with only 33 units of each model being produced, exclusively for the South African market.

The 325iS Homage, built on the M240i xDrive, includes dual rear spoilers and 20-inch M Performance wheels designed with a retro flair. Additional features of the coupe consist of a front splitter and contrasting black door handles reminiscent of the original design, alongside the M Sport Pro package and an M Performance exhaust.

Inside, drivers will find M Sport seats adorned with contrast stitching and an armrest covered in Überkaro tartan upholstery, the same design as seen in various sporty E30 models like the 318iS, 320iS, and the 325iS. A commemorative plaque adds to the special features, inscribed with “Born for the track” and “Specially crafted for South Africa.”

The powertrain is provided by a familiar 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder engine generating 382 hp (285 kW / 387 PS) and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque, allowing the coupe to accelerate from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in just 4.3 seconds.

The 333i Homage, built upon the M2, presents a more aggressive design with retro-inspired graphics and 20-inch wheels from Alpina, as well as a carbon fiber splitter and spoiler, complemented by a four-tailpipe M Performance exhaust. Buyers can select from five color options: Alpine White, Sapphire Black, Brooklyn Grey, Zandvoort Blue, and Fire Red.

The interior mirrors that of the 325iS Homage with a similar armrest and a slightly different plaque, but the 333i goes further with the addition of carbon fiber bucket seats. It features a more powerful 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo engine, producing 473 hp (353 kW / 480 PS) and 442 lb-ft (600 Nm) of torque, enabling the rear-wheel-drive sports car to reach 62 mph (100 km/h) in just four seconds.

These vehicles commemorate the original 325iS and 333i, which are described as “products of BMW South Africa’s unique autonomy during the 1980s and 1990s, a time when local engineers worked with a near skunkworks-like approach.” The 325iS was designed to meet Group N racing standards, while the 333i was developed to fill the void left by the absence of the first-generation M3 in South Africa.

The cars will be auctioned off, with interested buyers able to register now. Proceeds will go to one of five chosen charities selected by the bidders. Buyers will also agree not to sell or transfer the vehicle for a minimum of one year. The auction begins on October 21, starting bids are set at R1,435,000 ($83,413) for the 325iS Homage and R1,960,000 ($113,930) for the 333i Homage.
