Presented in 1983 at the Geneva Motor Show, Zagato’s compact 2+2 Zeta 6 was based on Alfa Romeo GTV6 running gear with a 2.5 V6 engine. It was a self-financed Zagato project, and can be singled out as one of the most beautiful Zagato creations of the 1980s. The Zeta 6 was styled by Zagato’s chief stylist Giuseppe Mittino, applying trademark cues from the Milanese house such as the short overhangs, compact cockpit, and double-bubble roof. This car prompted Victor Gauntlet at Aston Martin to develop the attractive Aston Martin Zagato project, another graceful design from the ‘80s to bear the famous Z badge.
