For the “Internationale St. Moritzer Automobilwochen” event, TCCT eClassic and Bernina GT have created a new virtual simulator station dedicated to driving enthusiasts who want to add something extra to their garage in addition to their classic cars. The stations have been designed by Pininfarina and Zagato and are called Sportiva and Elio Z respectively. “We are proud to be involved in a project that takes the passion for classic cars to a new level thanks to a technology that combines innovation, design and quality of our production. It is no coincidence that the inspiration came from the Cisitalia, a work of art still on display at MoMA in New York, the epicenter of refined, contemporary forms,” says Paolo Pininfarina, chairman of Pininfarina.
“The reduction of body volumes and weights and the continuous reduction of stylistic frills, together with the study of airflow, have always been at the heart of the Zagato philosophy. Elio Z, the driving simulator designed for classic cars and named after my father, Elio Zagato, perfectly reflects these principles: light, thanks to the aluminum subframe, and with a small body, it fully embraces our concept of Essential Beauty, one of the pillars of our company’s long-standing approach,” said Andrea Zagato.
