Thus concludes the Zagato Sanction Lost Trilogy dedicated to the Porsche world, starting with the first Speedster model in 1958 based on the 356A, followed by the Coupe in 1959 and the latest GTL model in 1960, both based on the 356BT5. The 1960 Porsche Carrera GTL Zagato used a language common to the FIAT Abarth 1000 Zagato, winner of the Compasso D'Oro. This model emerged following the defeat of 1955 at Avus, Germany, which led engineer Ferdinand Porsche to embark on the so-called "Italian Job," resulting in the birth of this legendary car.
