New Delhi: People have not even heard about the Capricorn Group, but they are likely to see its work. The company is a German outfit that supplies components to the Formula 1, LMP1, World Endurance Championship, and other racing clients. The group just introduced its first supercar, and it’s unlike anything on the market currently. It’s called the 01 Zagato, and it’s a mid-engine, Rear Wheel Drive enthusiast machine that features a carbon fibre exterior crafted by the iconic coachbuilder with the same name. Capricorn Group doesn’t care about screens and cutting-edge technology; instead, this supercar is focused on creating an emotional driving experience, and the powertrain certainly helps.
This is a supercharged 5.2-litre V8 from Ford paired with the five-speed dogleg manual transmission that sends 888 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. The supercar can sprint to 62 miles per hour in less than 3.0 seconds while on its way to a top speed of 224 miles per hour. It’s a dry pump lubrication system, crankshaft, pistons, exhaust, and more. It even has a proprietary ECU tune and special ABS software. Carbon ceramic brakes and six-piston callipers from Brembo hide behind the Capricorn-designed 21-inch wheels, which are available in either a lightweight alloy or carbon fibre.
Capricorn will begin building the 01 Zagato in the first half of 2026. It is only building 19 examples, which won’t be available in the United States. The latest supercar is going to cost $3.4 million. Zagato’s stunning exterior is a carbon fibre chassis, including the monocoque, crash members, and the front and rear subframes. It has a double wishbone, pushrod suspension with the Bilstein front and rear springs and dampers.
