The FZ93 ("Formula Zagato 93") was made by Zagato and was first presented at the 1993 Geneva Show in Switzerland, held from March 4th, 1993, till March 14th, 1993. Based on the chassis of a Testarossa, the FZ93 was built under the guidance of Ercole Spada, a chief designer who rejoined Zagato in September 1992.
The FZ93 reflects Elio and Gianni Zagato's continuing desire to look beyond contemporary design. It served to lay down the foundations for the company's future creative strategy with a concentration of new and radical design elements. The leading edge of the bonnet is characterized by a projection reminiscent of an F1 nose cone.
However, the FZ93 influenced the Ferrari Enzo, which was released almost ten years later! Both cars share the same Formula-inspired nose and overall shape.
