Zagato eyes Bentley for latest project

aston_martin_db7_zagato Zagato eyes Bentley for latest project

Zagato is responsible for some of the most exclusive and interesting rebodying jobs ever to grace tarmac.

Beauty being in the proverbial eye of the beholder, some have had greater affection for their designs than others, but they’re certainly intriguing.

Some recent examples have included the custom Ferrari 575 GTZ and Maserati GS, but the Milanese coachbuilder’s work has branched far out of the Italian peninsula, including the unfortunately stillborn Spyker C12 Zagato, as well as a stable full of British cars for Rolls-Royce, Jaguar and, of course, Aston Martin (among others).

The carrozeria has announced plans to prepare a coachbuilt Bentley according to the latest reports.

The news arrives on the heels of Bentley’s announcement that it would increase its in-house customizing efforts, which at the time ruled out turning to outside coachbuilders.

This still appears to be the case, as a spokesperson for the automaker told us that to his knowledge, Bentley has not been involved with the Zagato project.

No further details are known at this time, we’re looking forward to scoping out what Zagato has in store for the Flying B badge. If we had to guess, a Continental will be the subject of the transformation. Stay tuned.
