The Pegaso Z-102 is one of the most remarkable sports cars of the 1950s. It was developed by the Spanish company ENASA under the leadership of designer Wilfred Ricart, a former chief engineer at Alfa Romeo. His goal was to create a car that could compete with the best sports cars of its time in terms of both technology and performance.
This example features an exceptional body by the French coachbuilder Saoutchik, which is among the most sought-after versions of the Z-102 model. The second series of the Berlinetta is characterized by its distinctly sculpted fenders, low roofline, and numerous meticulously crafted details, which make it one of the most beautiful sports cars of its era.
Under the hood is a 2.8-liter DOHC V8 engine with a pair of Weber four-barrel carburetors and an output of approximately 195 koní. The engine is paired with a 5-speed ZF manual transmission, which was an exceptionally advanced solution in the early 1950s.
At first glance, it catches the eye:
- with an elegant body by Saoutchik
- with a long hood and a low profile
- with striking chrome accents
- the unique lines typical of luxury sports cars of the 1950s
In its day, the Pegaso Z-102 was considered one of the most technically advanced sports cars in the world. Nevertheless, only about 84 chassis were ever produced, making it one of the rarest automotive icons of the postwar era today.
