Capricorn 01 Zagato: Italian design with an American coronary heart
Germany-based Capricorn Group has revealed their first hypercar. Styled by the well-known Italian design home Zagato, the Capricorn 01 guarantees to be an “ultra-driver-focused” hypercar.

The automotive rides on 21-inch wheels made out of both a light-weight alloy or carbon fibre.
The inside encompasses a neo-retro design and comes with a carbon dashboard outfitted with old-school toggle switches, a 3-spoke steering wheel and three analogue dials.
Nestled contained in the chassis is a mid-mounted, supercharged 5.2-liter V8 sourced from Ford. It delivers 888 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque and is paired with a 5-speed dog-leg handbook gearbox that sends energy to the rear axle.
