Meet The €2.95M Capricorn 01 Zagato Hypercar Rebel

capricorn GROUP (capricorn), the German-based industry leader in automotive and motorsport lightweight technology, presented two capricorn Zagato 01 hypercars at Salon Rétromobile, Paris, 27 Jan – 1 Feb 2026. The first customer deliveries will happen in 2026, following an intensive and rapid development process, borne out of capricorn’s extensive motorsport engineering experience.

Both capricorn 01 Zagato hypercars are fully functional, drivable prototypes and a third example is currently under build at capricorn’s Mönchengladbach’s production facility. All three models will play a pivotal role in capricorn’s test and calibration program, as the brand rapidly accelerates towards a handbuilt production run strictly limited to 19 coupes, priced at €2.95 million later this year.

Featuring a body designed by Zagato, the capricorn 01 Zagato is a mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive, manual transmission hypercar, engineered and handbuilt by capricorn in Germany to deliver a pure, immersive, analog driving experience.

Founded in Milan in 1919 by visionary Ugo Zagato, Zagato is one of the world’s foremost coachbuilders, combining visionary design with passionate Italian craftsmanship. Over the past century, Zagato has collaborated with numerous legendary automotive brands, including Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lancia, Maserati, and Porsche, creating limited-edition vehicles of unsurpassed elegance and exclusivity.

Today, Zagato continues to operate from its headquarters in Milan, Lombardy, under the leadership of President Andrea Michele Zagato.

The global unveiling of the second capricorn Zagato 01, which features new exterior and interior colors, a configuration never previously revealed in public, as well as technical improvements follows just three months after the global debut of the first capricorn Zagato 01, finished in Verde Knokke green with Brown Connolly Leather interior, at Zoute Grand Prix, Belgium, in October 2025.

The new capricorn 01 Zagato was unveiled on the Supercar Owners Circle (SOC) booth within the Ultimate Supercar Garage at Salon Rétromobile, Paris. The event also marked the launch of a new partnership between capricorn and the SOC, the world’s most exclusive network of car collectors. The capricorn 01 Zagato previously shown at Zoute Grand Prix, was presented in collaboration with capricorn’s design partner Zagato on the booth of luxury Swiss watch brand Chopard.

The entire series will be offered exclusively through prominent premium and luxury automotive retailer Louyet Group. A minimal number of build slots remain, and the first customer deliveries are already planned for 2026.

Since the first prototype’s debut, capricorn’s engineering team has carried out extensive calibration work, fine-honing the character and response of all of the hypercar’s components, including the 900PS 5.2-liter supercharged V8 engine, five-speed manual transmission, Brembo carbon ceramic brakes and Comfort, Sport & Track driving modes, which are manually selectable from within the cabin.

The LMP1-inspired, all-carbon fiber monocoque body and chassis of the capricorn 01 Zagato has also undergone intensive evaluation, as has the double wishbone, and pushrod BILSTEIN damper suspension system. Developed at the Nürburgring, the BILSTEIN EVO R weight-optimized suspension system provides ultra-precise damping characteristics. The combination of enhanced rigidity and ultra-responsive damping makes the EVO R the perfect match for the capricorn 01 Zagato, and the car immediately demonstrated exceptional dynamic performance on BILSTEIN’s 7-post test rig.
