Mattel Hot Wheels Ferrari 575 GTZ Zagato - Special Edition

The Ferrari 250 GTZ Berlinetta of 1956 is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful cars of all time, especially among collectors and enthusiasts. Japanese car collector Yoshiyuki Hayashi is one such man.

Hayashi approached Italian coachbuilder Zagato with a proposition, to build a car based on the Ferrari 575 in the style of the 250 GTZ. The Zagato Ferrari 575 GTZ was the result.

When Zagato received the request for the 575 GTZ they contacted Ferrari about the project and it was decided that this would be a good opportunity to celebrate the 50 year anniversary of the original GTZ.

The exclusive 575 GTZ features an all-aluminium body and unique, yet subtle, two tone paint work. The cab being a slightly lighter shade than the rest of the body.

The Zagato Ferrari 575 GTZ was unveiled at the prestigious Villa D'Este Concours D'Elegance, an invitation-only car show in Italy where only the most exclusive and expensive cars are on display.

This model is the Super Elite version, more detailed with twice as many individually cast parts as the Elite version.
