This is how Zagato won the Compasso d’Oro Award
It is curious to know what happened in 1955 at the Geneve Auto Salon, when the “Casa dello Scorpione” presented its Fiat 600 Coupé coachbuilt by Boano. Zagato in other hand, introduced at the same show the 600 TS. Abarth soon realized that, in order to be more competitive in races, given the failures of 600 TX and 655 tuned by Faccetti, it needed a more powerful 750cc engine combined with a lightweight Zagato body.
