Vehicle Overview

The Ferrari 599 GTZ Spyder, a stunning example of automotive craftsmanship, was designed by the legendary Italian coachbuilder Zagato. Commissioned by a client to transform their Ferrari 599 GTB, the goal was to create a car that was distinctive yet unmistakably Zagato. After several months of development, the result was the Ferrari 599 GTZ Nibbio, an exclusive and striking vehicle that exemplifies the design language Zagato has refined over nearly a century of car modifications. Zagato, famous for its bold and often unconventional designs, infused the 599 GTZ Spyder with many of the styling cues that have become synonymous with the brand. The car features a bulbous nose, a wide, aggressive grille, and powerful haunches that give it a muscular stance. Most notably, it includes the “double-bubble” roofline—one of Zagato’s signature elements, which has been a hallmark of their designs for decades. This unique roof contour not only enhances aerodynamics but also adds to the vehicle’s unmistakable visual identity. The transformation from Ferrari 599 GTB to 599 GTZ Nibbio is so complete that it’s hard to recognize the original car. While the underpinnings and mechanical performance remain Ferrari at heart, the exterior design has been entirely reimagined. The front end of the GTZ Spyder draws inspiration from Ferrari’s iconic racing cars of the early 1950s, with its large egg-crate grille and air intakes where older models featured headlights. This nod to Ferrari’s heritage is balanced by the car’s entirely original and somewhat polarizing rear design, which divides opinions among enthusiasts. Despite its daring aesthetics, the Ferrari 599 GTZ Nibbio was well-received, leading to a limited production run. Zagato built a total of 13 units, seven of which were Coupes and six Spyders. This makes the 599 GTZ Nibbio a rare collector’s piece, blending Ferrari’s performance heritage with Zagato’s distinctive design philosophy, creating a car that is as much a piece of art as it is a high-performance machine.
