Description[]
- "The coachbuilding Zagato is a legendary name in the sports car world. It should come as no surprise that Gran Turismo decided to collaborate with the famed Italian company. The designed of this car was designed by the Iso Rivolta, an iconic tourer from the 1960s. It was designed as a vehicle that could compete in the world's top racing events. Underneath its very Zagato-esque body was a Callaway 4.5-liter V-8. This powerplant pumped out a crazy 559.2 HP!"
- ―In-game description of the car, from GT7's Brand Central
Inspired by the aerodynamic designs of great prototype endurance race cars, the IsoRivolta Zagato Vision Gran Turismo is a contemporary gentleman driver’s sports car designed specifically to compete at the highest international levels. Virtually-built using realistic volume and base measurements, the IsoRivolta Zagato Vision Gran Turismo evokes a fierce attitude and raw emotion through its sensorial coachwork proportions: low center point of gravity, voluptuous fenders and sleek, elegant lines.
Historically, Iso Rivolta became famous among sophisticated, international clients in the 1960s and 70s for its innovative approach in marrying Italian design with an American power train, thus producing excellent and reliable performance cars. These classic Iso sports and racing cars participated in some of the world’s greatest sports car competitions, such as the 12 Hours of Sebring, 1000 km of Nurburgring, and 24 Hours of Le Mans. The marque bearing the mythological Griffin logo also joined Formula 1 in the early 1970s through a partnership with Marlboro, and successfully competed at the hand of legendary professional drivers Jacky Ickx, Gjis Van Lennep and Arturo Merzario, to name a few.
Zagato, a design atelier with 98 years of experience, has coachbuilt most of the world’s famous automotive brands and is renowned for creating iconic, competitive sports cars in limited series. Zagato Vice President of Design Nori Harada pays tribute to Iso Rivolta with the creation of the new IsoRivolta Zagato Vision Gran Turismo to honor Iso Rivolta’s racing heritage and passion for performance. Once again the Griffin will compete against the Prancing Horse, Raging Bull and other automotive titans of today, this time in the virtual reality of Vision Gran Turismo.

Kagurazaka[]
This beast was built for Vision Gran Turismo by Zagato, an Italian coachbuilder founded in 1919. It's apparently based on a sketch that designer Nori Harada made while he was at the ArtCenter College of Design. Despite its intimidating three-dimensional complexity, each element is actually a very simple form. That is, each and every module intersects to make an integral design. Also, its traditional beauty as an FR sports car... Evokes the handwork of a traditional carrozzeria. Note the power bulge on the hood, which pays homage to the 7.0L engine of the Iso Grifo. Meanwhile, the taillights are inspired by the red torii of Miyajima, Japan.

- The car references Andrea Zagato, the CEO of Zagato, and his wife, Marella Rivolta-Zagato, a descendant of Renzo Rivolta, the founder of IsoRivolta.
- There is an unused version of this car with a rear wing, as seen on the car's trailer.

- This car was originally stated to have a limited production run of around three to five examples, but nothing has been said or seen ever since.
- The styling cues of this car, however, eventually led to the limited-production IsoRivolta Zagato GTZ supercar which was revealed in 2020, and is powered by the same engine found in the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE Package '18.
