Capricorn 01 Zagato Revealed: 900+ HP, Five‑Speed Manual, 19 Built

Nürburgring production plus global homologation with deliveries from 2026 underline the €2.95 million coupe’s serious, low‑volume intent.

Overview

  • The mid‑engined, rear‑drive 01 uses a carbon tub and body with a target dry weight around 1,200kg and employs ground‑effect aero to avoid large wings.
  • Power comes from a heavily reworked 5.2‑litre Ford‑derived V8 with dry sump and supercharger, producing more than 900hp and 738lb ft at up to 9,000rpm through a five‑speed manual gearbox.
  • Capricorn cites 0–62mph in under three seconds and a top speed above 220mph, with specification sheets making no explicit mention of traction or stability control.
  • Just 19 coupes are planned at €2.95 million before tax, sold via Belgian specialist Louyet Group, with bespoke interior materials and features including gullwing doors, analogue instruments, fixed seats, and adjustable pedal box and shifter.
  • Cars will be built at Capricorn’s Nürburgring facility with a two‑year warranty and four‑year service plan, and the firm signals longer‑term factory expansion beyond this first model.
