Zagato Ferrari 166MM Panoramica Berlinetta & Spyder #0018M
The two different Zagato body styles pictured here are on one and the same chassis: #0018M. This was the first Ferrari bodied by Zagato. This special Panoramica Berlinetta body was commissioned in 1948 by Antonio Stagnoli, Italy. Stagnioli raced it with great succes. Two years later the car was returned to Zagato to have it rebuilt with a cigar-shaped Spyder body with cycle fenders. Stagnoli raced the lighter #0018M Zagato Spyder with even greater success afterward.
The Panoramica body is considered to be lost, but the 3D-rendering in this gallery proves Zagato is working on a reconstruction. Chassis #0018M survived and is now in France. The car is currently in a very bad shape, especially the Spyder body, but it is not known if the chassis is being used for the Panoramica reconstruction.
