01 / THE STORY
History & context
The Alfa Romeo TZ3 is a unique creation that celebrates the rich racing history of Alfa Romeo and Zagato. Commissioned by prominent Alfa Romeo collector Martin Kapp, the TZ3 pays homage to the legacy of iconic racing teams such as Scuderia Ferrari, Alfa Corse, Autodelta, and Scuderia Zagato. This one-of-a-kind masterpiece debuted at the Concorso d’eleganza Villa d’Este in 2010, where it earned the prestigious Design Concept Award, solidifying its place as an automotive icon. The Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa Zagato is the first of the two versions to come out on the market. The Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa is a true racing car, engineered with a carbon fiber tub, a tubular chassis, and a lightweight body crafted from hand-beaten aluminum panels. Unlike many concept cars, it is fully functional and built to perform on the track. Its design reflects the spirit of Alfa Romeo’s historic Giulia-based racing cars, combining cutting-edge mechanics with a nod to the brand’s storied motorsport achievements. The TZ3 Corsa was created not as a simple design exercise but as a racing car that celebrates Alfa Romeo’s 20th-century competition successes. Every aspect of the vehicle was crafted with performance in mind, from its aerodynamic form to its lightweight construction. The design also embodies the philosophy of gentleman drivers who, in the past, commissioned bespoke race cars for both competition and personal enjoyment. This exceptional vehicle is a harmonious blend of modern innovation and classic design principles. Its sleek lines and racing-focused features not only honor Alfa Romeo’s history but also look toward the future of automotive design. The TZ3 Corsa’s handcrafted nature, combined with its advanced engineering, elevates it to a masterpiece of automotive art. The TZ3 remains a one-off vehicle, owned exclusively by Martin Kapp, the collector who funded its creation. This exclusivity enhances its allure, making it one of the most unique and sought-after Alfa Romeo models ever produced. By capturing the essence of Alfa Romeo and Zagato’s shared legacy, the TZ3 stands as a testament to their commitment to excellence in design and performance. The Alfa Romeo TZ3 is a celebration of racing heritage, seamlessly blending tradition and innovation. With its exceptional craftsmanship, dedication to performance, and tribute to Alfa Romeo’s storied motorsport history, it continues to captivate enthusiasts and collectors, embodying the spirit of racing and luxury that defines the Alfa Romeo brand.
