Geneva Motor Show 2001 Preview - Zagato Toyota roadster

Feb 14, 2001 - The Zagato brand name is making a return to Geneva with the SZ Design company, directed by Andrea Zagato.

The latest Zagato is not a show-car but a limited production in the tradition of “Fuoriserie” developed from the New Toyota MRS two seater convertible.

SZ Design Zagato has designed the car and built the full scale model as well as the first prototype. Toyota Modelista International (a branch of the Toyota Group) is to produce and sell the car in Japan.

“Aiming squarely at a market sector that constantly seeks the maximum in individual and highly personal design, our designers, led by Nori Harada, re-interpreted the Toyota MRS’s sporting image creating a more extreme styling statement” said Andrea Zagato
