The 30th edition of the Vernasca Silver Flag - the legendary hill climb from Castell’Arquato to Vernasca - celebrated Zagato’s performance heritage and design excellence with a very special class dedicated to the Alfa Romeo TZ lineage.
The spotlight was on the complete evolution of the Alfa Romeo Tubolare Zagato family, a journey spanning more than six decades of design innovation and engineering research.
For the first time, the Alfa Romeo TZ and TZ2 were brought together in a dynamic display alongside the Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa (2010) and the Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale (2012).
From the legendary "Coda Tronca" designs, featuring the Kamm tail concept developed by Professor Wunibald Kamm, to the contemporary interpretation embodied by the TZ3 Corsa and TZ3 Stradale, with their aluminium and carbon-fibre bodywork, each car reflects the same philosophy: lightweight construction for outstanding performance, the perfect balance of form and function, and timeless beauty.
Once again, the Vernasca Silver Flag proved to be the perfect stage to bring these icons back to the open road, their natural environment. The Fiat Abarth Zagato, Alfa Romeo SZ Coda Tonda, Fiat Siata 1250 and Alfa Romeo S.Z. (ES30) completed this exceptional celebration of Zagato's heritage.
