An interesting look back at the blue racing Alpine A220 from the second half of the sixties was presented to the world by Zagato two years ago, and the famous design/coachbuilding company based in Milan stated at the time that the retro-inspired AGTZ Twin Tail model would be produced in only 19 examples.
Two years later, in the spirit of ultimate personalization, the colors and details on one of the last examples of the extensively redesigned lightweight two-seater, whose carbon body component hidden behind the name Twin Tail can be removed and left in the garage, are "signed" by the well-known Australian fashion brand Deus Ex Machina.
It has not been revealed in whose garage/collection the black and white AGTZ Twin Tail Deus Ex Machina with seats and wheels in different colors will end up, but it has been known since the premiere that Zagato asks for around 650,000 euros for the extraordinary reinterpretation of the 1968 racing Alpine A220, before the personalization process, which did not deter Gordon Murray and Christian von Koenigsegg, who own the 7th and 2nd produced examples.
And while the four Alpine A220s that roared day and night on the French circuit La Sarthe in '68 were powered by Renault-Gordini three-liter V8 engines, the Zagato AGTZ Twin Tail is powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine that drives the S version of the Alpine A110. A 7-speed automatic transmission with two clutches is responsible for transferring power to the rear axle, and 300 horsepower in a lightweight environment is enough for acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds and over 260 km/h.
