Zagato has dredged its 
						official collection to find the long-forgotten Ferrari 
						Testarossa-based FZ93 concept car which it has brought 
						to the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend where its distinctive 
						racing-inspired shape is 
						gracing the "Cartier Style et Luxe" Paddock.
						The 
						FZ93 (Formula Zagato 1993) was built around Ferrari's Testarossa, chassis number 83935, by the Milanese design 
						house as its headline presentation concept car at the 1993 
						edition of the Geneva Motor Show. 
						It's lines were the work of legendary designer Ercole 
						Spada who had returned to Zagato the previous year 
						having penned the Aston DB4 Zagato 32 years earlier.
						Pininfarina's 
						Testarossa design was a logical starting point as the 
						project came during a period when Zagato had been 
						creating one-offs or small runs based on Ferrari 
						production models such as the 348 Zagato
						Elaborazione built during 1991-92 for a handful of 
						owners. Like the "Elaborazione" and the 
						Testarossa, the FZ93 featured a huge side air intake, 
						fashionable for the period, but was cleared of all the 
						long slats that identified Pininfarina's design.
						
						There were more large 
						intakes at the front end which was focused around an 
						F1-themed nose, a styling direction that was picked up 
						by Ferrari just under a decade later for its Enzo 
						supercar. Pop-up headlights, like the Testarossa 
						featured, as did foglights tucked into the front air 
						intakes. The FZ93's F1 inspiration led to the "Formula 
						Zagato" nametag, while the coachbuilder's traditional 
						"double bubble" roof cue was also incorporated. The 
						bonnet featured a Naca duct positioned centrally just below the 
						windscreen and in true Zagato style this cue was 
						replicated at the rear end to form the dramatic body lines 
						that swept down from the rear screen on either side of 
						the engine bay to finish tightly, a trademark of the 
						car's designer, Spada, while two smaller Naca ducts on 
						either side of the engine cover complement the effect.
						The FZ93 was finished 
						in red and black when it made its debut in Geneva to 
						mixed reviews, the black section covering all the bodywork 
						below the belt line and the front spoiler, as well as 
						large "Cavallino" decals on the rear three quarter. It 
						was later painted all-red, which improved its lines 
						greatly, and has recently been shown to acclaim at the 
						Concorso d'Eleganza Ville d'Este.
						This weekend at the 
						Goodwood Festival of Speed the FZ93 is being shown on the 
						rolling lawns of the "Cartier Style et Luxe" Paddock in:
						Class 8: Far Fetched Fantasies - The Audacious 
						Supercar 1980-2000. A fully working prototype it 
						remains as part of Zagato's collection in Milan.
