Zagato: form and function come to life in the virtual world image

Among the most fascinating and instantly recognizable ateliers in the Italian automotive landscape, Zagato has always stood out for a unique design approach, founded on a rigorous balance between form and function for racing use. Lightweight bodies, essential volumes, taut surfaces, and aerodynamics as a guiding principle: every car is the result of a precise synthesis between aesthetics and performance. In Roarington’s virtual showroom, this identity comes to life in a new way, allowing visitors to step into the very core of Zagato’s vision. High-fidelity 3D scans offer a privileged view of each model, making ribs, curves, and proportions readable with extraordinary clarity. The cars are no longer distant objects, but digital twins to be visually explored, closely observed, and understood in their structural logic.
Zagato - 1
This freedom of exploration finds its fullest expression in the Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato, featured in Zagato’s virtual showroom on Roarington and at the same time one of the most emblematic collaborations between Italian design and British engineering. The ability to observe it without barriers, from exterior to interior, immediately reveals the balance between lightened surfaces, essential proportions, and solutions conceived to eliminate anything not functional to the form. Virtually opening doors and hood, entering the cockpit, and studying its volumes makes it possible to understand how every design decision is guided by a principle of necessity and coherence. The result is a focused narrative that remains deeply faithful to the Zagato spirit, in which the DB4 GT Zagato becomes a living testament to the concept of form and function applied to the automobile.
