The A220 shifted the goalposts without fear, an attitude that La Squadra and Zagato are replicating over 50 years later. The wonderful world of coachbuilding enters a bold new era, traversing a new automotive landscape where design diversity and truly provocative styling will be the key barometers.

Celebrating its racecar ancestor’s legacy is a unique proposition, a modern GT car that melds two designs into one. The gorgeous profile and stunning aerodynamic intent of the original A220 longtail lives on. Sitting beneath it, full of latent potential, is an ode to the muscular A220 shorttail.

The inspiration

Motor racing’s most beautiful designs aren’t always the biggest winners. They are born of dreamers; engineers and designers taking a flight of fancy to free their most ambitious ideas. While not quite a beautiful failure, the A220’s sporting record doesn’t match its movie star looks. But one car stands proud.

Chassis #1731 is that car. When the A220 missed its lofty target of a 24H Le Mans victory, its designers committed a willful act of destruction to carve out something beautiful, slicing its bodywork to create a 30cm-shorter tail. This redesign refocused the car’s attention on shorter circuits and rally stages. Podium finishes quickly followed and while they could not prolong the car’s life, they underlined its place in the history books.
