Fiat 500 by American design house Scagliarini Motorsports called the 504 Coupe Zagato Elaborata.


we published the news about a limited-production Fiat 500 by American design house Scagliarini Motorsports called the 504 Coupe Zagato Elaborata. Scagliarini claimed in a press release that the car was inspired by the 500 Zagato Coupe launched in Geneva last March, and even used the Italian company’s name.

However, Zagato contacted us today and stated that it has no involvement whatsoever with Scagliarini’s project, nor has it granted permission for its name and logo to be used. Therefore, it intends to use all necessary legal actions in order to protect its individual property.


Here is Zagato’s statement:

“Zagato intend to declare that there isn't any involvement at all regarding the “Scagliarini 504 CoupĂ© Zagato Elaborata”. The Milanese Atelier has been never approached by Scagliarini and neither contacts nor commercial initiatives took place at all.

Due to the above reasons Zagato neither released any approval regarding this project and the Intellectual Property of the Fiat 500 Zagato, nor the use of the Zagato name and logo. In addition, no production tooling have been ever used to design the above Scagliarini. Zagato is taking all the needed legal actions for the purpose”.
