Capricorn has taken another decisive step towards production with its first hypercar, revealing a second working prototype of the 01 Zagato and confirming that customer deliveries are scheduled to begin later this year.
Unveiled at the Salon Rétromobile in Paris, the latest 01 Zagato marks a clear progression from the car’s official launch in October.
Capricorn says it is already assembling a third prototype, while ongoing calibration work continues to refine how the car behaves under real-world conditions rather than controlled simulations.
Chief executive Robertino Wild describes each prototype as a critical bridge between design intent and driver experience, allowing the team to validate engineering decisions before production starts.
Given Capricorn’s background as a supplier to Formula 1, LMP1 and World Endurance Championship programmes, expectations around execution are understandably high.
At the heart of the 01 Zagato sits a supercharged 5.2-litre V8 mounted within a carbon-fibre monocoque.
Output is quoted at 888hp and 738lb ft of torque, sent exclusively to the rear wheels via a five-speed dogleg manual gearbox.
In an era dominated by hybrid systems and paddles, that configuration feels deliberately old-school.
Performance claims are predictably extreme, with a sub-3.0-second sprint to 62mph and a projected top speed of 224mph.
Production will be capped at just 19 cars worldwide, all sold through luxury retailer the Louyet Group.
Capricorn says only a minimal number of build slots remain available, with pricing set at roughly £2.56 million per car.
For collectors chasing rarity with genuine motorsport DNA, the 01 Zagato is moving rapidly from concept to reality.
