The Prototype That Shaped a Supercar

Beneath the bodywork, the Z-102 was just as ambitious. Designed by ex-Alfa Romeo engineer Wifredo Ricart, it featured a complex V8 engine with overhead camshafts and dry sump lubrication — innovations typically found in purebred race cars of the era.This initial prototype wasn’t just a car; it was a statement. A symbol of Spain’s engineering prowess and Touring’s artistic flair, it set the tone for future Z-102 models, some of which would go on to break speed records and earn a place in automotive history.
