Italian design house Zagato has announced the Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale, a road-going follow-up to 2010's TZ3 Corsa racing car concept which won Concept of the Year honours at the Villa del'Este Concours last May. Zagato will build nine TZ3 Stradales, meaning a total of 10 TZ3s will help celebrate Alfa Romeo's centennary.

As befits the 'Stradale' name, this is a TZ3 for the street, following on from the 2010 TZ3 Corsa track car. While the TZ3 Corsa was influenced by Zagato's history of Alfa Romeo competition cars (most notably the Alfa Giulia TZ and TZ2 racing coupes of the 1960s), the TZ3 Stradale has been designed to celebrate Zagato's Alfa road cars.
But the '60s Alfa TZ and its long-nose/Kamm tail proportions remain the dominant visual influence, along with Zagato's trademark 'double-bubble' roof and a windowline mildly reminiscent of the mid-'80s Aston Martin Zagato.
