A Quiet Italian Name
Ferrari and Lamborghini usually get all the attention when it comes to Italian cars – maybe even Lancia, which has been trying to revive itself recently. However, there are other names from Italy that deserve attention. We're talking about the lesser-known brand called Iso Rivolta, and in various shapes, names, and forms, the automaker has been around since 1938.
By the mid-1970s, Iso Rivolta had mostly disappeared from the scene – that’s until 2019 when the brand joined forces with Milan’s Zagato to build the Iso Rivolta GTZ. The car has the spirit of the 1960s Iso Rivolta A3, updated to modern standards. Only 19 cars were ever built, and just one ended up in the US. That very car is now up for sale.

Carbon Fiber, Red Paint, and Zagato Details
The GTZ doesn’t try to pass itself off as a modern supercar. Instead, it focuses on classic proportions and clean lines. The long hood, fastback roof, and smooth sides all nod to Zagato’s racing history, but the design avoids feeling like a throwback. The body is made entirely from carbon fiber and finished in a Le Mans Red tri-coat metallic that fits its coachbuilt roots.
Every part of the exterior is custom, from the lights to the glass to the wheels. You wouldn’t guess it shares a platform with the Corvette, and that’s part of what makes it interesting. Inside, the approach is just as subtle. Charcoal Italian leather, red stitching, brushed aluminum, and power sport seats give it a tailored feel without being flashy. It’s modern, but not built around screens or tech for the sake of it. This particular GTZ even has some history, having won its class at The Quail Motorsports Gathering during Monterey Car Week in 2021.

Corvette Power Under the Hood
Underneath the carbon body, the hardware is intentionally familiar. The GTZ uses a Corvette Z06-spec 6.2-liter supercharged LT4 V8 with 660 horsepower, matched to an eight-speed automatic. Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes handle the stopping, and the carbon construction keeps weight down to about 2,645 pounds. It’s a direct nod to Renzo Rivolta’s original idea: Italian looks, American power, and no unnecessary drama.
This car has only 885 miles on the clock, so it’s basically in as-new condition. The price isn’t listed, but for context, the same GTZ sold for about $1.35 million in 2021. With just one in the US, a tiny production run, and Zagato’s name on the build, it’s no surprise that we expect a similar if not higher pricing. If exclusivity matters to you, this is the kind of car that needs both a spot in the garage and some room in the budget.
