Borgo
44
Yes,
Built by the same Zagato coachworks (although obviously a different generation and set of sensibilities) but actually designed by an Englishman named Costin. Interestingly, it would get nose happy (lift) at high speed although it had lots of engine: 4.5 litre V/8, dual ignition, quad gear driven cams with quad injection, dry sump lubrication, ZF five speed, etc. etc.
Some years ago an editor at Road & Track magazine described a ride as "the most intensely sensual automotive experience" he'd ever had.
This was not Papa's Buick.
Hot Iron...
The current HK masthead reminded me of another "Gun" I once had the pleasure to visit with: Maserati 450/S Costin / Zagato LeMans Coupé !...
That's a hot design. Got any specs on that Borgo?
Hello Borgo. How cool is that? Is that Maserati built by the same Zagato that is currently working on Aston Martins? Would like to hear more about this car. -MW
Love those specs
nice and shiny what a fantastic looking Maserati i havent seen this model before what year is it borgo
Zagato / Costin Coupé
One only. Built in 1957. Currently in a private collection in Germany. This message has been edited by Borgo on 2008-09-19 16:19:53
Zagato
Lovely engine. But that really is not one of Zagato's better designs. Awkward glasshouse (now I know where the Flavia coupe got it's cues) and over hung bulbous nose. DB4Z...now THAT is a car.
Opinions are always welcome...
and although very few have ever actually seen this car in person, my experience bowled me over,
Yes...
Photography, industrial design & painting. Nuts aboiut high quality and gorgeous anything, any age.
So Borgo with those type of interests..
With Photgraphy, design, and painting, you must have some interesting things to share with us borgo!
Maybe...
Some find me boring. Others caustic. Some amusing. So I often combine all three to keep them guessing....
Thanks Jacky but frankly,
I think there are some excellent photographers here, many far better than myself ! This message has been edited by Borgo on 2008-09-19 22:20:37 This message has been edited by Borgo on 2008-09-19 22:23:37...

Gazoz, AM had a special DB7...
A few years back at the Pebble Beach Concours I recall seeing a DB7 limited edition by Zagato. I believe there were only 99 made. Let me see If I have pics form back then. It was such a beautiful car and really stood out. Are you a Maserati fan?
After the Yacht, the Car...LOL
Well, in this case , this is not only a CAR, but a piece of Art... Love it! And a beautiful pic, too! Thanks for sharing this beauty. Nicolas
Thanks Nicolas...
But potentially, isn't everything ? It's just that we've allowed the marketing experts to control our diets. Marcel Duchamp pointed that out at the beginning of the last century. Was anyone listening ?...
