Italian style automotive style masters, Zagato, are making just nine Bentley Zagato’s of which 7 have already beensold in Europe and the USA and two have been singled out for Asian markets making the Bentley Zagto one of the rarest cars in this area of the world.

When developing the car Zagato worked closely with Bentley to give an already exclusive car an added exclusivity, development was carried out by Bentley at their Crew, UK facility and also in partnership with Zagato, where Zagato’s craftsmen worked tirelessly to handcraft each and every panel on the car, notably many of Zagato’s workers are fourth generation coach builders which goes to show the level of workmanship shown by each worker to every car.

UK pricing was set at £50o,000 and Chinese pricing could well be much more, model no 8 is likely to be sold in China in the next few months. The demand for super luxury cars in China has become apparent in the past few months, the Aston Martin One-77 had five units set aside for the Chinese market ahead of its Shanghai Auto Show debut earlier this year, however all models were sold before the auto shows curtains had been opened for the first time.
