The continuous light is intriguing because it means that the LED strip is located on the same body panel. Which is reminiscent of the curved taillights of the Bugatti La Voiture Noire.

Knowing Zagato’s modus operandi, we could expect many nods to the past, especially since it has had a fruitful collaboration with Alfa Romeo. The latter’s CEO, Jean-Philippe Imparato, has expressed that some design cues from the T33 Stradale of the 1960s are to be expected.

This new model written by Zagato may have a limited production and will be like the swan song of the ICE engine. The Giulia Quadrifoglio’s 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 was boosted to 540 hp and 442 lb-ft (600 Nm) of torque for the GTA/GTAm. It remains to be seen if the engineers will find a way to increase said power even more.
Some reports indicate that a 100% electric version is also planned. Although the Giorgio platform on which the Giulia rides was not developed with electric cars in mind, it has proven flexible enough to accommodate an electric powertrain, considering that Maserati is launching a zero-emission Grecale Folgore.
