That looks like some interesting design choices for the front of the car. Seems to fit well together stylistically. Will be watching this at the unveil.

To elaborate a little further on the very short and cryptic blurb from earlier:

Scagliati is going to be bringing something very special to the #LAAutoShow next week, with rumours swirling that the company will have three cars on display; a never-before-seen, freshly-completed restoration from the Scagliati Museum, the new model that everyone has been buzzing about for the last few weeks, along with a very special model that represents the best the company has to offer its valued clients.

Join us on the 28th at the Scagliati stand in the West Hall for the big event.

The 2005 Deponte Vulpe powered by the 150 CI Straight 4 engine titled ‘‘8C’’ producing 162 HP.
It tops out at 142 MPH, runs the 1/4 in 14,70 @ 95 MPH, and gets 28 MPG.
Laps the Green Hell in 8:59 with a price of 14,520 $ (+20 Markup) in 2005.

It was easy to drive and fun, and one of Deponte’s most popular mid 00’s cars despite their hard times during that time period.

Scagliati At the 2017 LA Auto Show

Scagliati is proud to be showing two new models at the LA Auto Show, the 2019 Cinquetorri luxury sports-utility vehicle, as well as the limited-production 2018 La Serenissima Quattrocento. Also, as part of the company’s 70th anniversary, the Scagliati Museum is also showing off their freshly-restored 1957 300 Turismo. The 300 Turismo was the first of the so-called “Cannaregio” body style, and was produced as a convertible from 1957 to 1963, and as a coupe from 1957 to 1962.

To Places Unconquered - Introducing the 2019 Scagliati Cinquetorri.

Music for the unveiling:


2019 Scagliati Cinquetorri in Rosso Amarone

For the 2019 model year, Scagliati is proud to present the Cinquetorri, a ground-up re-imagining of what an ultra-luxury SUV should be. Named after Cinque Torri, an unmistakable mountain that towers over the famous resort town of Cortina d’Amprezzo, nestled in the Dolomite Mountains just a short journey from the Scagliati headquarters, the Cinquetorri brings the strong presence and sharp lines of the design language that debuted on the La Serenissima and combines it with rugged design to create an SUV of peerless design and presence.


2019 Scagliati Cinquetorri in Viola Reale

The Cinquetorri is the second vehicle to be built from Scagliati’s pioneering SCALE architecture, which brings to bear the incredible strength and lightness of carbon-fibre construction to produce a lightweight, rugged vehicle with incredible safety - the Cinquetorri exceeds all government safety ratings, all while weighing almost 200 kilograms less than the outgoing Regata SUV. The lightweight constrution of the Cinquetorri, combined with the familiar five-litre, twin-turbocharged Amadeo V12 engine and Scagliati’s all-new TISE all-wheel drive system, means that the Cinquetorri can sprint from zero to one hundred kilometres per hour in 4.2 seconds and proceed to a top speed of 320 kilometres per hour, all while returning an estimated 12.6 litres per hundred kilometres in the Automation Unified Fuel Economy cycle.

The Cinquetorri comes in three versions; a five-seat, two-row model as the base, a four-seat two-row model and a seven-seat, three-row model, with prices starting at $230,400 for the base Cinquetorri, available for preorder now at all Scagliati studios, with deliveries commencing in the first quarter of 2018.

Power and Poise - The 2018 Scagliati La Serenissima Quattrocento.


2018 Scagliati La Serenissima Quattrocento in Rosso Veneto

Scagliati Prestazione Speciale is proud to present the La Serenissima Quattrocento, the last word in performance in the Scagliati lineup. The engineers and craftsmen of the Special Performance Division in Mirano spent countless hours refining and reworking the base La Serenissima T, already a very fast and powerful car in its own right, making countless aerodynamic refinements to boost the high-speed stability of the new car with one goal in mind - to create the fastest GT car in the world. The bodywork of the Quattrocento was changed, with new fenders front and rear to fit 305-section tires front and rear, specially developed in conjunction with CMW Aero and Fujisaki Tire, to cope with the extreme demands of a 2069-kilogram car capable of reaching speeds in excess of 400 kilometres per hour.

To attain such speeds, the team took the Amadeo V12 engine to 5.4 litres of displacement, and fitted the engine with a stronger rotating assembly, better intake manifold and a pair of larger turbochargers. Running on 100RON fuel only, the reworked SP050.879T engine produces a staggering 922 horsepower and 635 foot-pounds of torque, making the Quattrocento the most powerful production Scagliati ever. Zero to one hundred kilometres per hour is accomplished in 3.8 seconds; two hundred approaches at 8.4 seconds and the Quattrocento sails past three hundred kilometres per hour in 18.8 seconds, all while returning 12.1 litres per hundred kilometres.

On the 19th of November, 2017, an unmodified, customer-specification La Serenissima Quattrocento attempted to set a class speed record as part of final validation testing at the CMW Proving Grounds in Germany, setting an unofficial two-way speed record of 407.704 kilometres per hour through a flying kilometre, achieving the goal that the Prestazione Speciale team set for themselves when they began the project.

Timeless Beauty - The 1957 300 Turismo.


1957 Scagliati 300 Turismo, in Grigio Ardesia

As part of our company’s 70th anniversary, the Scagliati Museum is proud to present the latest addition to our collection, the 1957 300 Turismo. Making its debut at the 1956 Geneva Auto Show, the 300 Turismo was the much-anticipated follow-on to the Serenissima family, the first and only model family that Scagliati had produced up until that time. Larger, more comfortable and easier to drive than its predecessor, the 300 Turismo featured steel monocoque chassis, the first Scagliati to use this construction method, and the hand-beaten aluminium body panels that had become the signature of Scagliati.

Larger fourteen-inch wire wheels allowed for larger drum brakes front and rear, while the venerable Scalzano V12 grew to 3600cc of displacement, thanks to forged internals and better production methods. Breathing through the ubiquitous six downdraft carburetors, the 300 Sei was good for 253 horsepower and 232 foot-pounds of torque, propelling the 1313-kilogram convertible to one hundred kilometres per hour in seven seconds flat, and on to a top speed of 231 kilometres per hour.

Along with the 300 Turismo, a coupe variant also made its debut, the 300 Cannaregio. The Cannaregio ultiimately lent its name to this body style of Scagliati, with its timeless good looks and stunning performance; the 300 Turismo was almost as fast in every way as the famous “La Dominante” race car of 1954-1955, and without any of the compromises needed to be competitive on the race track. The 300 Turismo was the car with which Scagliati truly entered into the public eye, as the car found its way to stardom through film and television all over Europe and North America.

I have to admit that Scagliati definitely has more Italian flair than Zavir. And that style is just magnificent. I bow to you.

Zenshi’s Booth at the LA Auto Show

A song used in one of Zenshi’s recent advertisements back in Japan.

While still far away at the moment, 2019 marks the year Zenshi will undergo a new age of design, reshaping the Shinka design to that of something that can be appreciated by both the youth and the mature alike. This design came to be known as Shinka Ken.

For the first press day, Zenshi presented a few of the cars they will be showing.


2018 Zenshi Gamaru

The Gamaru will receive a facelift the mainly focuses on the exterior, and will also have a revised 2.5L I4 making 215 HP as the base motor. The 3.7L I6 will be replaced by the stronger and more efficient 3.0L LZ3-ACE MTE turbocharged I6 engine.

Higher trim models now have a standard power split tailgate available, and all versions will have the option for a 3rd row of seats at the back.

Inside, the Gamaru will have the option for red and brown leather on the higher GTS trim models alongside the black and white leather options. The infotainment system is replaced with Zenshi’s updated system co-developed by Fujitsu and will support Android Auto and Apple Carplay.

The 2018 Gamaru is expected to be on showroom floors early December.


2019 Nimessa / Nimessa Penta


For 2019, the Nimessa will receive the Shinka Ken treatment, inside and out for its major refresh. The aggressive, yet sophisticated looks make the Nimessa appear like an upscale luxury compact car.

This version of the Nimessa will be the first in the generation to have a turbocharged engine for the US market. The revised QS20GDAT makes 268 HP and will be available in both sedan and Penta variants. The base QS20GDA motor has been improved with an approximate 10 HP increase, now making 175 HP.


Inside, the Nimessa will receive an updated AIGCS system, as well as new interior options, such as colour-match stitching for GTS models.

The wagon variant of the Nimessa, the Nimessa Touring, will not be available to the US.


2019 Nimessa Newman R/A

The Nimessa Newman R/A is a more track-focused version of the Nimessa Newman R, with fewer amenities compared to the “normal” R.

Making its debut with the appearance of the facelifted Nimessa, the Newman R/A resembles what a Newman R would look like, but has a heavier rear wing sourced straight from ZMD themselves.

The Newman R/A is a tad bit lighter compared to the regular Newman R, but isn’t as light as the Newman R Zero. This, however, doesn’t make the R/A an in-between variant. Many things have been improved on the inside, ranging from the motor, the gearbox, and suspension.

The IA25GDAT motor has been tweaked a bit to now make a stronger output of 415 HP, providing ample amounts of power to all four wheels via Zenshi’s SM-AWS system. The suspension system, using TEIN’s Electronic Damping Force Controller (EDFC) system, allows for the R/A to consistently adjust itself to the varying track conditions on the go.

The Newman R/A comes with no head unit, but can be given the option to have it back. Air conditioning can be requested to be removed, as well as the standard ABS steering wheel.


More of Zenshi’s new upcoming models will be shown later on through the week, as well as the appearance of a few classic cars as well.

One of the cars planned to be fully presented later on was left out in the back, outside of the auto show, to let the press get an eyes-on-me (and perhaps a hands-on if they’re lucky) experience of what will be expected in the future, and Zenshi USA posted an image recently on their twitter showing this:
