This new one-off hypercar will have you seeing more red than Pamplona in July. It's a special version of the Capricorn 01 Zagato hypercar called the Tutto Rosso. Even if you don't speak Italian, you'll be able to figure out what that name means with nothing more than a glance at this car. It looks like it just arrived from the 1980s and is embarrassed to be here. The Customer Said 'Make It Red' CapricornCapricorn's 01 Zagato is a lightweight hypercar that uses a 5.2-liter supercharged V8. The Ford-sourced engine makes 888 horsepower in this car, and it can rev to 9,000 rpm. It even comes with a manual transmission, though it only has five gears instead of the usual six. Capricorn plans to build just 19 copies of the 01 Zagato, a nod to the founding of the design studio in 1919.This car is one of those 19, and it is incredibly red. Tutto Rosso is Italian for "totally red" and while it's not 100% red, it isn't far away from that. Capricorn says approximately 95% of all visible surfaces are finished in that hue.Capricorn and Zagato say that the car is meant as an homage to early Italian coachbuilt racers. That would be Zagato-bodied cars from the 1930s using chassis from Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Fiat, and more. Those cars were often red from top to bottom, which Zagato says "amplified both the emotional intensity and the motorsport identity of the car."Now the theme has been made modern. Red Connolly leather and Alcantara line the cabin, covering the seats, and much of the side panels. If you don't find a red hide or textile, you'll probably find a red weave carbon fiber covering it on the inside and either red paint or red carbon on the outside. No, Seriously. More Red Capricorn Pop the rear engine cover and you'll find even more red. The chassis uses red carbon fiber, as do the air intakes and even the plenum. Yes, the carbon fiber monocoque chassis, which is inspired by the LMP race cars Capricorn makes as its main business, is red.The only things that aren't red are the parts that can't be. The exhaust manifolds, for example, where it can't handle the heat. The shift gate and some of the interior controls are also a metal finish, because functional requirements of the parts didn't work with the red.Capricorn says this Zagato Tutto Rosso is a customer commission, and that the customer wanted it to be this red. But it's not a real production version of the 01 Zagato. It's the third prototype as the company gets closer to standard production. With that development comes changes, and this car has "a substantial number" of developments and refinements compared with previous prototypes. Before you ask, no, Capricorn didn't list them.We're definitely fans of this car, especially the goal of racecar-levels of downforce without adding massive wings and its focus on driver involvement. We also understand that buyers of cars that cost well over $3 million want to have things extremely custom. But we'd probably lean toward something closer to the green painted version with a tan interior that Capricorn showed to promote the car late last year. But hey, if you really like red... .capricorn01Zagato_TuttoRoss_009
