Many people think (still) that the Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato was designed by the Italian grandmaster Zagato ... Nothing could be further from the truth. Perhaps the world's most beautiful car was designed by Ercole Spada who entered service with Italian top designer Zagato in 1960.
Spada has even more leading designs to its name. The most important at a glance. In 1965 he was responsible for the Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior (and of course also the 1600) Zagato, the Lancia Fulvia Sport, the 70 Ford GT1970, the 32 BMW E7 1986 Series and the BMW 5 Series E34, the 1988 Fiat Tipo, the Fiat Tempra and the Alfa Romeo 155 from 1992. After his work he also worked at Ghia (1970), joined Audi and BMW and led the design studio IDEA (1983) and returned to Carrozzeria Zagato at the end of 1992. Incidentally, the Daihatsu Move is also his work…
